it is weird because you have another child and you took that child into the commons and no one seemed, everyone seemed to be ok with that. what changed in september? i m not the only parent of young children. this is a very young baby. i certainly wouldn t take my toddler in because she would find everything breakable in the parliamentary chamber and cause havoc. i don t understand what has changed but there are barriers to getting mums involved in politics and i think that damages our political debates. yesterday my son was completely silent, i was at a debate about buy now, pay later lenders. parliament can t have it both ways, they can t tell us that only one person can be in the chamber but create rules when you have small children that mean you can t be in the chamber in the first place. the headlines on bbc news.
