Universal credit childcare funding to rise 47% from June

[Polarbear]

Why? A country that is broke, throwing money away.

If you have children, make sure you can pay for them. I really worry for the future.

Wow. £11,412 a year.

And they have a 6:1 child to adult ratio at nurseries. Average full time nursery nurses is on £19,000.

If it wasn't for the fact that I can't stand children, I'd say I was in the wrong business.

On a side note, how many children is Boris known to have now? Are his child support payments still exceeding his known income?

Incidentally, it's not increasing as such, it's increasing the amount of childcare payments that are taken into account when looking at income.

Someone who isn't working and had children would be no better off.

I'm pretty sure that PB does have kids, just all grown up.

I'm also sure that he happily claimed all the child benefit available as well as Mrs PB accepting the NI credits whilst not working because of looking after children so that she got a full state pension, not to mention all the free prescriptions, dental care and glasses the kids got.

Youare criticising an increase in the allowance given for child care which is actually to encourage people into work because the only time they will receive that allowance is if they are paying someone else to look after their kids?

Specifically in this instance this increase is designed to encourage people to increase the number of hours they work because then the extra costs of childcare don't take up all the addition income recieved as a result.

The principle of being able to offset childcare costs against earnings for benefit purposes is hardly a new thing. It was a feature of Family Credit back in the 90s so probably has been around for 30 years. If I remember correctly it was a percentage offset rather than an allowance like this.
