On the floor of the House of Commons this week, South Lakes MP Tim Farron urged ministers to listen to teachers to avoid a repeat of this year's exam results fiasco.

Speaking during a debate in Parliament, Tim said: "As a dad of two kids, who went through GCSEs and A-levels this year, I understand massively the disruption that was caused to families and especially to the young people looking to their futures.

Those who have put their lives at risk for our country are welcome to live in it.

Like the rest of our wonderful NHS and care staff, hundreds of thousands of people from other countries are on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, putting themselves in harm's way to make sure we get the care we need.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has announced a new team of spokespeople who will hold the Government to account and rebuild our party.

Layla Moran

Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs & International Development

Delighted to announce the @LibDems spokespeople for the great offices of state:

My friend @LaylaMoran has agreed to take a role in my top team. As Foreign Affairs Spokesperson she will bring the energy and enthusiasm she brings to all her work & hold Dominic Raab to account.

This weekend would have been Manchester Pride and Pride Cymru. While we're not able to get together in person this year, LGBT+LD, Manchester Lib Dems and Welsh Lib Dems would love you to join us for our own Pride Inside - open to Lib Dem members across the country.

We will be hosting a panel discussion at 2PM on the topic of winning back trust amongst LGBT+ voters. Our panel will include a series of LGBT+ candidates, representatives and experts. We would love to hear your questions and thoughts.

I'd like to start by thanking my friend Layla Moran. Layla, you fought a passionate campaign, full of energy.
