Pro-women policies draw radio praise
Corbyn backed on Woman’s Hour
WOMEN heaped praise on Jeremy Corbyn yesterday after the Labour leadership contender presented his policies to tackle inequality, including the introduction of free childcare services.
On Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, the Islington North MP called for universal free pre-schools paid through taxation and a shadow cabinet that would be half female.
“You’d have a pre-school free childcare service, rather than the charging or free one depending on your income level at the present time,” he told listeners.
