🚨 CONSERVATIVES UNVEIL £700M CHILDCARE PLAN
The proposal would end the “cliff edge” where free entitlement stops above salaries of £100,000.
Kemi Badenoch says those earning more than £100,000 should not be discouraged from working more.
The plan was set out the day before the annual conference begins in Birmingham.
