MP wrong to claim UK offers 52 weeks maternity pay - Full Fact

of your average weekly earnings for the first 6 weeks and £156.66 or 90% of your average weekly earnings for the next 33 weeks. If someone on maternity pay is taking the full 52 weeks of maternity leave, the remaining 13 weeks are unpaid.

These statutory amounts are the minimum—some workplaces may have better benefits than this. ​​Those who don’t qualify may be eligible for

No doubt he will be setting the record straight at the earliest opportunity.

“The UK guarantees the longest period of maternity leave among OECD countries. However, looking just at the length of paid maternity, parental and home care leave, the UK’s 39 weeks is below the OECD average of 51 weeks.“

Sandra4themany He hasn’t had a baby lately

RNInterTrans Thick as shit and a politician running this country in to the ground

To be fair, it does look like something he has never had to deal with.

Another that doesn’t know what he’s talking about , get out

Wasn’t he in one of those Harry Potter films?

RNInterTrans WilliamCashMP do the honourable thing, and put the record straight on maternity pay, it is 39 weeks not 52 weeks as you stated. See posting above ☝️☝️☝️

Same person isn’t it ?

They just can’t get anything right! If they had a cue card they would read it wrong!

mariachetcuti1 He also voted to allow private water companies to continue to pump shit into our rivers, lakes and seas, just so a few shareholders and executives can make even more profit. The dirty bastard.

He looks like a spitting image puppet of a tory

Effectively it's about 43 weeks, as you continue to accrue holidays during your maternity leave

Cash needs to correct the record ASAP.

MartinHCroydon How did we come to this 😩 whilst simultaneously curtailing no crushing our right to protest against chancers, charlatans, liars and thieves. We are better than this. Tories

One of many half-wits

How many weeks paid Mat Leave do dinosaurs get?

It's the lack of knowledge about detail and the consequent propagation of misinformation that has led to the current situation in UK politics.

Cash lies all the time. Absolute charlatan.

He doesn't look like the sort of chap to get something like that wrong, does he?

No surprises there.

Facts are for little people …

So do the Tory’s want young people to have children? I thought they didn’t like foreigners coming over here taking our jobs? Unless the birth rate increases there won’t be enough tax payers around to fund state pensions & care for our aging population.

JohnWest_JAWS I'd be interested to know how maternity pay works for MPs.

Another old fossil. Never letting facts get in the way of his prejudice.

Provided you meet certain criteria to qualify for it, another MP shockingly ill informed

Galviam Do our elected reps actually have a clue?

Why are these people in WM, they haven't a clue

Well, to be fair, he doesn’t look as if he’d be on top of his brief on the subject of maternity pay. Never judge a book by its cover, but pretty safe to do so on this occasion.

Bill Cash is one of the worst humans in parliament. And that’s saying something. 🐹

He’s 79 for goodness sake what’s he wvn doing there

Tories lying you say? Surely not 🤥

And you only get pay if you have the requisite service criteria. Workhouses next!

A far right MP who knows nothing about real life?!? Surely not!! I’d love these ppl to become poor and then see what its like!!

StevePeers Dinosaur

Apologies from Willy?

Bill cash talking nonsense? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you

But he's normally so well informed.....

danny__kruger

Bill Cash being wrong? Can't believe it.

Not Bill Cash - being a liar again? Nooooooooo

Well, a decrepit fart tells more lies in parliament. How about that.

HarriettmooreB2 Is that a 'brexit benefit'

They are getting ready to reduce that 39 week period and the 52 week leave period. They hate that we have “rights” .

Cash lies. Quelle surprise.

A Conservative MP failed to tell the truth? Never!

Electoral Commission has no evidence of tellers engaging in voter fraud - Full FactThe Electoral Commission has found no evidence to support claims on social media that information gathered by tellers is being used to conduct voter fraud during elections. GreenPartyMolly Voter ID = Voter Suppression Pure and simple. Where I live, the tellers don't need to do that. They operate in packs and descend on those entering/leaving the polling station blocking their way. I now have a postal vote. I'm yet to be convinced that there is anything legitimate that they can do with the information acquired. I've done telling for 25 years or more. Thank you for correcting the misinformation, though no doubt some people will still believe it.

Brandon Lewis misleading to compare voter ID to picking up parcel or library book - Full FactMP Brandon Lewis recently compared the need for voter ID to identification when picking up a parcel at the Post Office. This is misleading—voter ID must be photo ID, which is not the case when picking up a parcel from the Post Office. We all get a polling card through the post. It's always puzzled me why they never even want to see this, and yet suddenly it's photo ID. Clearly another agenda here. And at huge cost to all of us. Should we expect a correction in parliament? Liars gonna lie, they know they will lose at the next General Election if they dont instigate some serious voter suppression

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is the first to declare in the race for Manchester UnitedSir Jim Radcliffe is not a sportswasher or a hedge fund and he is a fan of Manchester United. Does this make him the best option for United fans to support? No, because he will contribute the least amount of money to the club than sportswashing or hedge fund options, and money is the biggest factor of sustained success in football. Not sure I agree with the idea of Ratcliffe not being a sportswasher. He's obviously not got the, ahem, 'baggage' of a nation state, but his company has an absolutely brutal environmental impact Wow. A bit of a 'dog's breakfast of a piece.
