English farmers are now the only farmers in the UK or Europe who are not financially supported in their primary mission to produce our food. This is wrong. In Parliament this morning, I asked the Secretary of State to put this right. | Tim Farron

Outdoor education helps build confidence, resilience, a love of learning and nature, and friendships that last a lifetime. But so many young people are missing out on this life-changing opportunity. At Lib Dem Conference, I was proud to put forward our party's new policy for every child to have the funded opportunity of a week-long residential outdoor education experience 👇 | Tim Farron

A quarter of the homes in Westmorland and Lonsdale were built before 1900. They are expensive to heat and very difficult to insulate. We need the Government to come forward with a bespoke plan to insulate those properties, to help keep people warm and cut energy bills. | Tim Farron

At the beginning of the pandemic, there was a huge effort to get people who were homeless into emergency accommodation. Tragically, since then, many of those people have returned to rough sleeping. We need to rediscover that same political will to end homelessness for good. | Tim Farron

Both the Conservatives and Labour have bought the lie that there is a contest between food production and our environment. Without farmers, we will not eat, and without farmers the best environmental policies in the world will simply remain useless bits of paper in a drawer. The Liberal Democrats will fight for British farmers to be given the support they need to do both. | Tim Farron

This week, I led a debate in Parliament on the huge disruption set to be caused by plans to close Junction 38 of the M6 at Tebay southbound for 18 months, and then northbound for another 18 months. I'm really glad that the Minister for Roads said that National Highways will be conducting a review into proposals for temporary slip roads at Junction 38 and will report back next month. Thanks to everyone who has been helping us to campaign on this huge issue - let's keep going. | Tim Farron

The previous Conservative Government's dreadful deal with the EU helped contribute to a 41% drop in livestock farmers incomes. So I'm encouraged to see the Prime Minister renegotiate better access to the EU market for our farmers. In the House of Commons today I asked Keir Starmer to let us know when farmers can expect to see the benefits of this new deal.

A key part of the long-fought-for A66 upgrades will be the building of an underpass underneath the notoriously busy Kemplay Bank roundabout at Penrith. It is vital that this work is sequenced before the M6 closures around the Lune Gorge so as to avoid crippling congestion around Penrith and to alleviate the devastating impact of running those projects at the same time. | Tim Farron
