BORIS JOHNSON is putting parents in an “impossible position” by sending them back to work during the summer holidays without childcare support, Labour has charged today.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said that Mr Johnson is penalising parents by failing to provide for childcare, holiday activities and catch-up schemes until schools reopen in September.

On Friday, Mr Johnson announced that bosses will decide whether or not to bring staff back to workplaces from August 1, when the “work from home if you can” advice will be officially scrapped.
