Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has argued that individuals should not face financial penalties for increasing their work effort, as the party reinforces its commitment to addressing the so-called childcare “cliff edge.” Badenoch’s comments underscore the Tories’ pledge to scrap the policy threshold at which families begin earning £100,000, which currently results in a sudden loss of childcare support.

Wait, does this mean all families above £100k keep support, or just that the penalty vanishes?
Is this just another empty pledge? The Tory track record on welfare reform is questionable at best.
Finally, someone addressing the absurd cliff edge. It unfairly punishes parents for working harder.
