• 29 Apr 2025: Tweet

  Farmers have a pivotal role in our fight against climate change. Many have becks and rivers flowing through their farms which they would like to tap into to generate energy. Today I asked the Energy Minister to support our farmers to achieve this. https://x.com/timfarron/status/1917252315578277940/video/1 [Source]

  Now the Government must finally get serious about investing in renewable energy jobs in Cumbria. If ministers truly care about growth and the environment then they must invest in tidal projects in the west coast of Cumbria and Morecambe Bay where there is huge untapped potential [Source]

• 18 Dec 2024: Tweet

  The UK has the world's second largest tidal range after Canada, and yet we use very little of it to produce renewable energy. We should be investing in tidal power to create jobs, improve Britain's energy security, and bring down bills for struggling families. https://x.com/timfarron/status/1869334095874130013/video/1 [Source]

• 13 Sep 2024: Tweet

  What we need to see now from the new Government is to swiftly make up for the Conservatives’ failure and provide immediate significant investment into long-term jobs in renewable energy in West Cumbria such as tidal. (3/3) [Source]

  Rounding off the day in Greystoke and Pooley Bridge listening to local residents talk about Greystoke swimming pool, affordable housing, NHS reform, renewable energy, parking, and sewage. Thanks so much to everyone who popped by! https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1825574622185554307/photo/1 [Source]

• 19 Aug 2024: Tweet

  Happy Monday from Shap on day 4 of my summer surgery tour, chatting about renewable energy, mental health, and buses! Also popped into the post office - a fantastic local resource. If you live in Shap then get yourself down there and give it your support! https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1825464974115823965/photo/1 [Source]

• 25 Jul 2024: Tweet

  It’s vital the new Government empower our local councils to make sure new homes are built to high eco standards, which will reduce energy costs and make a meaningful contribution to the battle against climate change. Please ask your MP to sign my EDM ???? https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/62377 [Source]

• 25 Jul 2024: Tweet

  Making homes more energy efficient is absolutely essential to us tackling the climate emergency, reducing soaring bills, and improving our energy security. That's why I've tabled a motion in Parliament for all new homes to be fitted with solar panels. https://www.wfelibdems.uk/news/article/tim-farron-puts-forward-motion-in-parliament-for-all-new-homes-to-be-fitted-with-solar-panels [Source]

• 12 Jul 2024: Tweet

  The Government must then urgently invest in renewable energy in Cumbria, providing long-term jobs, tackling rising bills, and improving our country's energy security. [Source]

• 11 Jul 2024: Tweet

  For too long there's been a narrative that in order to reach net-zero we need to lead more meagre lives. It doesn't need to be this way @LibDems have a positive plan which would create jobs, tackle rising bills, make homes warmer and help save the planet https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/liberal-democrats-tackling-climate-change [Source]

• 21 May 2024: Tweet

  Making homes more energy efficient is vital in reducing carbon emissions and lowering energy bills, especially in rural areas. Today in Parliament, I asked the Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero to support fantastic local organisations like @CAfStweets to achieve this. https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1792932411702968470/video/1 [Source]

• 20 Mar 2024: Tweet

  Rich landowners are exploiting the Government's new environmental schemes to evict tenant farmers. This is not only morally wrong, but also will mean less farmers being able to produce the food we need to feed ourselves AND deliver environmental goods to tackle climate change. https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1770409803166241007/video/1 [Source]

• 07 Mar 2024: Tweet

  At a time when we have war in eastern Europe, trade routes disrupted in the Red sea, and climate change rendering land around the world unfarmable, it is utter madness for the Government to be taking land out of active food production and reducing our ability to feed ourselves. https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1765741951465173266/video/1 [Source]

• 23 Feb 2024: Tweet

  I spent the morning with young people at Rheged speaking and taking questions on climate change at the Power of 10 festival. Then on to Crosthwaite primary school where the fantastic pupils led a lively discussion on the value of outdoor education! https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1761072299828982132/photo/1 [Source]

• 13 Dec 2023: Tweet

  Climate change is the biggest issue we face, and yet the Government seem more interested in winning tomorrow's headlines than securing our children's future. We should be leading the way with a green industrial revolution, and help countries around the world decarbonise too. https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1734951661410394371/video/1 [Source]

• 07 Nov 2023: Tweet

  The news from British Steel means any economic case for a coal mine in Cumbria is now completely dead in the water. Government must wake up to the fact that the steel industry is going full steam ahead to decarbonise and invest in long-term renewable jobs https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/07/fresh-calls-to-scrap-cumbrian-coalmine-amid-steel-industrys-green-push [Source]

  …Stricklandgate, Hallgarth and Kirkbarrow. We discussed our local hospital, traffic problems, facilities for young people and the climate crisis. I’ve done 45 surgeries over the last 2 weeks. What a privilege to represent such awesome communities, thanks to all who came along! https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/1694453897790664808/photo/1 [Source]

• 07 Jul 2023: Tweet

  Yesterday, I went to the Youth Climate Summit where Students in Cumbria came together to discuss climate change and what we can do to help look after our planet. I was incredibly impressed by the student’s ideas and the questions they asked were so insightful! https://x.com/timfarron/status/1677324250393243648/photo/1 [Source]

• 27 Jun 2023: Tweet

  To help people and families with soaring energy bills, and to tackle the climate emergency, we desperately need to make homes become more energy efficient. But the Government's new scheme which is designed to help deliver this, does not cover the huge and rising costs that exist https://x.com/timfarron/status/1673778566679461896/video/1 [Source]

  ???? Bus services are vital to our economy and tackling climate change. In Parliament this morning I challenged ministers to: - Make the £2 cap on bus fares permanent - Give local authorities, like the new Westmorland and Furness Council, the power to run their own bus services https://x.com/timfarron/status/1633082613010186241/video/1 [Source]

• 09 Feb 2023: Tweet

  If we are at war with climate change then farmers are our soldiers. However many are at risk of going out of business thanks to the Government botching the transition from the old payment scheme to the new one. If we care about the environment then we must support our farmers. https://x.com/timfarron/status/1623636105064071168/video/1 [Source]

• 08 Dec 2022: Tweet

  This is a huge backwards step in our fight against climate change and the promised jobs will tragically be short-lived. Instead, let's invest in long-term green jobs so we can boost Cumbria's economy and protect our environment at the same. [Source]

• 07 Dec 2022: Tweet

  So, the government approves a new coal mine in Cumbria. A ridiculous and dreadful decision. Climate change is our biggest earthly threat, yet the Tories want to dig up and burn more fossil fuels. What a pathetic failure of leadership. [Source]

• 09 Nov 2022: Tweet

  The Government had delayed making a decision on the controversial Cumbrian coal mine until after COP 26 and now they've delayed it yet again until after COP 27. Today, I urged the Prime Minister to stop kicking the can down the road and stop these environmentally-backwards plans https://x.com/timfarron/status/1590372221629136897/video/1 [Source]

• 12 May 2022: Tweet

  If we care about tackling climate change and the biodiversity crisis, then the Government must support British farmers. Because even the greatest plans in the world will remain just plans in a drawer if we don't have the farmers to introduce them. https://x.com/timfarron/status/1524738151465558024/video/1 [Source]
