"This government's ineptitude plumbed new depths as the chancellor visited a nursery today to advertise his new £1 billion funding for childcare. You might think giving away money to ease the pressure on working families would be an easy win, a good news story to make women look more kindly on the Conservatives, who are lagging behind badly with women voters. But you'd be wrong. George Osborne can't even give money away effectively."

I guess the problem, when you boil it all down, is too many feckless mothers lounging around at home. It's not like they even have cloth nappies to wash! What are they doing?
