Increase statutory paternity pay to at least 6 months

By allowing partners just 2 weeks statutory paternity leave, we are forcing them to miss out on learning about their child - which for new parents is difficult territory to navigate - and also forcing mums, who are recovering physically and mentally from pregnancy, labour and some surgery, to recover alone without the needed support of their partners. When post-natal depression effects more than 1 in 10 women, and men too, this lack of time to adjust as a family isn’t acceptable.
