Miriam Cates: is it a Christian MP's duty to support families?
Playback speed
What is a Christian politician's duty when it comes to the family? Is it their role to encourage couples to marry, stay together and spend time with their children? Is that naive and dismissive of people in different circumstances? Tim Farron discusses this with Conservative MP Miriam Cates, who is passionate about helping families out via taxes and other support. Tim also shares how he would have voted on the two abortion amendments added to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill this week and why he thinks both sides dehumanise real people.
