Why don’t we set up system to cover PPCs who need to take leave?
If you haven’t read it already, I would strongly recommend reading Ruth Bright’s excellent article on Lib Dem Voice, None shall be enslaved by maternity. That rattling you hear is the sound of some of this party’s skeletons being thrown … Continue reading
