The 无码天堂 has also written to every single MP in England to let them know about the campaign and ask for their support.
 
Many MPs have already pledged their support for the campaign including Dennis Skinner, Heidi Allen, Ruth George and Harriet Harman.
 
David Drew MP has written to the Treasury ahead of the Spending Review. He said: 鈥淭he current shortfall in funding could disadvantage children deprived of quality early years provision for their whole lives.
 
鈥淚t is therefore absolutely imperative that we the campaign for fair funding is successful: I support the call for an immediate increase and an urgent review of childcare funding.鈥
