Today the new leader of the Liberal Democrats has been announced as Tim Farron, a Christian MP and long-standing supporter of the Liberal Democrat Christian Forum.

LDCF members were among the 9,000 people who came to Westminster to meet their MPs recently, calling them to take action nationally and internationally on climate change. 

Following the death of former Liberal Democrat leader, Charles Kennedy, LDCF joined thousands of others across the party and beyond to pay tribute to this remarkable and much-loved man in an interview with Christian radio station UCB.

This summer, Liberal Democrat members will have an historic opportunity to decide who they want to be the next leader of the Liberal Democrats. At this point, there are two contenders for the leadership position: Tim Farron MP and Norman Lamb MP.

Former Liberal Democrat MP and member of LDCF, Simon Hughes, speaks to Premier Christian Radio about the experience of losing his seat as MP and how his faith has been key in helping him through this difficult time.

Following the result last Friday, LDCF Director, Claire Mathys, offered these thoughts to LDCF members and supporters:

"Last week’s election results were a very disappointing day for us as a party, and I know many of you are still feeling shocked and upset about what has happened. There are a few things I’d like to say as we rest, reflect, and gather ourselves.
