Tool theft continues to plague tradespeople across the UK, causing significant financial and emotional distress. On April 25th, the Theft of Tools of Trade (Sentencing) Bill is scheduled for its second reading in Parliament. This bill, introduced by Amanda Martin, Labour MP for Portsmouth North, aims to impose tougher penalties on those convicted of stealing trade tools. So today we spoke with Amanda to discuss how we can support the bill. And heard from Steve about how it affects every aspect of a tradesperson's life. Additionally, we want to hear from you if you’ve been victims of tool theft, as we highlight the urgent need for stricter measures to combat these scumbags! Plus there's also the pub lunch quiz and you’ll hear the very best messages we received.
