Parliamentary career
Campbell-Savours was elected Member of Parliament for Penrith and Solway in the 2024 general election. [8]
In his acceptance speech, Campbell-Savours said that he was acutely aware that many of the voters who placed their trust in him had voted Labour for the first time, and promised to be "a voice for the entire community," to "ensure that Penrith and Solway is listened to," and to do his best to "bring back compassion".
In November 2024, Campbell-Savours voted in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which proposes to legalise assisted suicide. [9]
In December 2024, he spoke out against government plans to impose inheritance tax on agricultural land in Parliament, indicating that he would be engaging with DEFRA and the Treasury to seek important amendments to ensure that the consequences of closing this tax loophole do not unintentionally affect working farmers in his constituency, which has more farmers than any other in the country. [10] [11]
On 3 December 2025, he was suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party for voting against the government plans to tax inherited agricultural land. [12]
