A new deal on drugs is as vital as a climate change accord

A forthcoming UN summit is the opportunity for a radical approach to curbing the drugs trade Standing on the podium at the United Nations in New York in June 1998, Kofi Annan declared: "It is time for all nations to say 'yes' to the challenge of working towards a drug-free world!" The leaders assembled at that meeting agreed: illegal drugs were to be eradicated from the face of the planet. They even set a deadline: 10 years to rid the globe of this scourge. A drug-free world by 2008.

Tim Farron 2016

Murnaghan Interview with Tim Farron MP, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, 31.01.16

DERMOT MURNAGHAN: As many as 40 people including at least ten babies and young children have drowned after their boat capsized off the Turkish coast, it's believed most of them were Syrians. Well the refugee crisis is an issue on which the Liberal Democrats have been leading the charge, calling on the government to let unaccompanied children into the UK. I'm joined now by their leader Tim Farron, a very good morning to you Mr Farron.

Tim Farron at Calais

Baroness Shas Sheehan writes…Europe’s humanitarian crisis and how you can help

Tim Farron has been superb on the issue of the humanitarian crisis in Europe. He was the first Leader of any party to visit the camp in Calais; in Lesvos he witnessed the desperation and fear of those fleeing Assad; for many months he has been calling for 3000 unaccompanied children in Europe to be brought to the UK. Whilst lawyers and parliamentarians challenge the Government to implement the safe and legal routes into the UK, thousands upon thousands of people on the run from brutal regimes are suffering the most appalling conditions.
