A great evening at Parr Street Church Kendal, with @timfarron MP and an @APPGNK2024 member. A thoughtful discussion on Christian persecution, political situations & the security challenges posed by NK regime. Also reflected on the freedoms we often take for granted in the West.

I’m not going to agree with Andy Burnham on everything, but this statement needed to be said by a Prime Minister. After the Conservatives suppressed the truth for years, this took courage.
Andy Burnham becomes first PM to confirm Russian interference in Brexit referendum

All carers need a break sometimes – and far too many carers don’t get them. This week, my wife Emily and I are taking our first two nights away as just us for over 18 years. When we’re back, I’ll keep fighting to guarantee respite breaks for every carer.

Happy Westmorland Day.
Celebrating the historic county's unique identity and rich history. On this day in 1397, Richard II appointed Ralph Neville as the first Earl of Westmorland.
The county has featured in 22 House of Commons debate titles.

Six hours should not decide the future of a farm business.
Farmers should not have to race against each other to secure the SFI agreements they need to build resilient businesses and deliver for our environment.

NEW: ‘Worse than the scramble for Oasis tickets’: England’s sustainable farming funds run out in just six hours
theguardian.com/environment/…
Tim Farron retweeted
🚨 Farmers have described a “mad scramble” for SFI26 funding after the entire £233 million budget was allocated within hours.
For some, getting an application submitted meant dropping everything else. Organic dairy farmer Adam Westaway had started his application before taking a family member to a long-awaited hospital appointment. By the time he returned to finish it, the window had closed.
🗣️ “To be left in a situation like this is no way to support farmers,” he said.

Please listen, my take on SFI.
This is not my usual happy, positive farming video. This is reality. I’ve said that as farmers we must share the good, the bad and the ugly. This is bad and ugly. Stakeholders, government body’s from both sides of the house should hand their heads in shame as to the shit show farming is becoming. People WILL go out of business over this. Our colleagues will suffer and fall because of this. If your mate calls you to chat, pick the phone up no matter what you’re doing and just chat. Remember about all the good farming charity’s out there. FCN, RABI to name a few.
Please share with MPs and associates. Please also speak up

The investment from this country in nature restoration through farmers once promised to every farmer as a replacement for production subsidy has been reduced to a wild 6 hour competition for funding before it runs out and then farmers are turned away

After months of fierce debate, MPs have rejected assisted dying by just 16 votes. Tim Farron examines what changed – and why the Church’s response to questions of suffering, dignity and death matters more than ever.

Labour MP for Lewisham East Janet Daby tells the Commons that she plans to vote against the assisted dying bill, having previously voted in favour last year
Tim Farron retweeted
Today I will again vote against the Assisted Dying Bill.
At Third Reading last year, I spoke as a former safeguarding manager, with 18 years experience.
An irreversible decision demands safeguards we can trust and genuine choices for every person. This Bill provides neither.

"My days may be numbered, but that doesn't mean that I want this chamber to rush through bad law!"
Terminally ill @AshleyDalton_MP makes it clear that there are no excuses for passing the assisted suicide Bill, which is known to be full of flaws.
