Labour Manifesto for women - unpaid leave for grandparents

I don't understand what all this huffing and puffing is about. This current system of unpaid parental leave was brought in by the coalition in April. All that Labour are seeking to do is allow grandparents to share the allowance as well. There is no proposal to increase the present allowance

Sorry Mollie not Millie.

GrannyTwice it seems to me your the one huffing and puffing.

Yawn

Many many businesses, even small ones, are facing ever increasing price pressures from abroad.

You can factor things in, but good luck in still getting the same amount of customers once you have increased prices.

Exactly soontobe. Time for some consideration for the multiplicity of small businesses which keep the country going. If govts offer all these allowances (which they don't pay for) how can small businesses keep going or hope to remain competitive? They're tied up in expensive and time consuming red tape as it is. If, by some miracle they make a profit they are referred to as fat cats living off the backs of 'the workers'! God help small businesses because Govt surely won't.

Nice to hear the thoughts of those who are continually in the firing lineline and have to cope with government legislation such as this proposal, by governments of any colour.

It must be a nightmare at times with little thanks or understanding from the general public that you are providing employment and raising taxes .

Isn't yawning is supposed to be a way of getting more air into the lungs, perhaps if someone has been huffing and puffing?

Typo!

Good luck to all small business striving hard to make a go of it with all the rules and red tape from government and Europe.

Actually, I heard on the radio today that yawning is the body's way of airing the brain when it gets overheated - rather like a computer fan!

Talking about small businesses, this deserves to be watched.

Nobody can say the Daily Politics is not giving the smaller parties coverage, I gave up listening to him I must admit .
