NEW🚨| 9.6 million workers set to benefit from stronger sick pay as of today. * 1.2 million workers - majority low-paid women - get access to statutory sick for the first time. * 8.4 million will get sick pay from the first day of illness - instead of having to wait four days.


Today is a good day for children! 450,000 will be lifted out of poverty thanks to the end of the two-child limit. We're celebrating this with 17 other orgs with an advert in The Times funded by hundreds of small donations from people supporting @38degrees.
