The issue isn’t that higher tax payers should have access to subsidised childcare, it’s that it should be tapered off so that earning more isn’t immediately penalised. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... Tories vow to end £100,000 childcare trap but keep pensions triple lock

There is no one who is a higher tax payer who is seriously arguing for free childcare for themselves. Or, if they are, they shouldn’t be taken seriously.

My biggest issue with the 100k cliff is that it penalises single income households. Two parents earning 99,999 each reap all the benefits and earn collectively more than a single income household on 100k. Basically, if you live together you should be taxed together.
