The failure to protect our farmers from flooding and to adequately compensate them is undermining our ability to feed ourselves.

A country that cannot feed itself is destined to fail, and a Government who cannot protect and support farmers in order to do that must be removed.

It's been 12 months since the Government were set to announce which train stations would receive Access For All funding and we've heard nothing.

Disabled people, elderly residents and anyone with mobility issues are being treated as second class citizens by this Government.

We are delighted to announce the launch of The Brathay Bursary! 🙌

It was launched last night at the Palace of Westminster by Simon Fell MP and Tim Farron

It aims to support 5,000 more young people to experience a transformative residential. Donations are appreciated!

For someone who has escaped the wicked regime in Eritrea, made it through Libya, crossed the Mediterranean Sea and travelled the length of Europe, a 0.5% chance of being sent to Rwanda will not deter them from crossing the Channel.

This is a colossal waste of taxpayers' money.

People are sick to the back teeth of their Conservative MPs voting time and again to allow water companies to get away with this environmental vandalism.

Come the election, the Conservatives face a reckoning at the ballot box from voters furious about this sewage scandal.

75 of the 100 constituencies worst hit by sewage spills last year are held by Conservative MPs

Lib Dems' Tim Farron claims Tory MPs facing a “reckoning at the ballot box” in general election

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Tomorrow is a big day for my Residential Outdoor Education Bill.

I'm calling on Welsh Parliament Members to back my Bill and give all schoolchildren a life-changing experience.

📺 You can watch proceedings from around 3.30 tomorrow on senedd.tv

It would be properly amusing if the Tories lost because they brought back FPTP…

You’ll note that we’re never in the chamber at the same time… I’m currently dictating to her through an earpiece disguised as a roll-up… she’s repeated every word so far… I might try that Anchor Man thing and see if she just repeats it verbatim…

We should be investing in tidal power to create jobs, improve Britain's energy security, and bring down bills for struggling families.

Glad that the Energy Secretary has agreed to meet with me and local MPs to discuss plans for a tidal energy scheme at Morecambe Bay.

One in five social care roles in Cumbria are currently vacant.

And yet the Government are making it harder to recruit people from overseas who want to come here and care for loved ones and earn a living, by stopping them from bringing their spouse with them.

Actor Steve Coogan has joined protestors in a very high profile fight to stop sewage being dumped into Lake Windermere in the Lake District by the local water company, United Utilities.

He tells Susanna Reid & Ed Balls that he is calling on the company to clear up the lake.

Every week I speak to tenant farmers who are deeply worried about their future.

The new Agricultural Landlord and Tenant Code of Practice is welcome, but on its own it won't be enough - we need a Tenant Farming Commissioner to enforce it.

And we are off with Good Morning Britain

Thanks to Tim Farron for your support. BASICS_HQ make a life saving difference up and down the country. In Cumbria Beep Doctors (BASICS Cumbria) working closely with North West Ambulance Service, providing lifesaving care.

A lovely start to a Saturday joining the Grange WI raising money at their coffee morning for ⁦Beep Doctors (BASICS Cumbria)⁩ It was a joy to spend time chatting with so many people about local issues, their lives and the tremendous work of Beep, supporting the NHS and saving lives.

Is it in poor taste that I’ve spent much of this evening listening to Norm Macdonald telling OJ jokes..?
