Last week, Cumbrian MP Tim Farron and Lake District hospitality leaders met with the Minister for Immigration, Kevin Foster, to discuss the ongoing staffing shortages in the tourism industry.
Local MP Tim Farron has today proposed an amendment to the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill which would require the government to name and shame water companies who are dumping sewage in local rivers which leads to animals being killed.
The Liberal Democrats have closed a major "oligarch loophole" in the Economic Crime Bill after the Government accepted their crucial amendment.
The cost of living is getting higher, so people are worried. Labour councillors voted to make it even more expensive for people, but the Liberal Democrats will help fight the cost of living crisis by freezing council rents and ending unfair charges. They also have a plan to give people money back for their heating bills. Voting for Liberal Democrats will make sure our area has someone strong to fight for us.
Lots of local parties across the region have mentioned that they'd like to engage more young active members, so we're giving something a bit different a try.
At conference over the weekend we provided an update on where the project is up to and what's coming up. Catch up on the presentation, view a recording and the slides here.
