Rather than being "cheap", as Mr Kelly states (Letters, March 24), Labour gives out cards each Mother's Day reminding women of just what the Labour Government has done to help women with children.
We are opening children's centres across the city, offering healthcare, childcare and parenting skills courses.
The Government has brought in longer maternity leave, introduced paternity leave, boosted child benefit and invested in childcare, enabling many women to go back to work.
The minimum wage, which was increased again recently, benefits many thousands of young mums locally.
Perhaps our success in this is reflected in the fact half of our candidates in May's elections are women. So it's not a "stunt" but a recognition that Labour has made a very real difference to the lives of many thousands of working mums.
