A Labour MP who was fostered as a baby has warned that we don’t have enough carers across the country.
Darren Paffey, the MP for Southampton Itchen, also said the pressure within the foster care system is far worse now than it’s been in decades.
He opened up about his concerns during an exclusive interview with GB News’ Gloria De Piero.
In it, Mr Paffey, who is one of a handful of MPs to grow up in care, also opens up about his personal experiences of being fostered, and of meeting his birth mother.
Mr Paffey was born in Gateshead and taken into foster care as a 10-month-old baby. He later moved with his foster parents to Hampshire where they eventually adopted him.
