Callum’s Catch Up 24.03.25
My reflections on Single Parent’s Day
It’s been another busy week for me, both in Westminster and closer to home.
In Parliament I was proud to wear a badge to celebrate Single Parents Day, and here is a video on why supporting single mums and dads means so much to me. Locally, my latest Callum’s Column was published in the Bucks Herald on the new Crime and Policing Bill’s and its measures to get tough on crime - do have a read through.
Looking at the national picture, I am sure most readers are aware that our Government has launched a consultation on welfare reform, and ahead of any changes I’ve shared my views on this topic here.
I promise to keep constituents updated on these changes, and would like to reassure readers that we will never penalise those who genuinely cannot work because of ill health.
Do have a read through of what I’ve been up to, and thank you for reading.
