Tim Farron Full Interview (Politics at the Cross+Roads)

In this edition, I had the pleasure of sitting down to speak with Tim Farron. Tim is the Liberal Democrat MP for Westmoreland and Lonsdale in Cumbria. Tim was leader of the Liberal Democrats between 2015 and 2017. He is the author of A Better Ambition: Confessions of a Faithful Liberal published by SPCK in 2019.

Tim spoke to me about the need for greater humility among liberals across the Western world, about the Christian roots of liberalism and the Liberal party in the UK and about the need to disagree well. My conversation with Tim was slightly shorter than some of the others and this is due to the fact that I caught Tim on the night the budget was released. My thanks to Tim for generously offering his time on a very busy evening.

You've got a new viewer/listener! Thanks for these engaging interviews. I wonder if in the future you'd consider including guests from outside of Britain/British politics.
