Tim Farron Visits Woking

Tim Farron Visited Woking Woking College for a discussion and questions about the EU Referendum. It was excellent to hear so many young people asking about & understanding the positive reasons for staying in, freedom to travel, excellent negotiating ability as a block rather than a single country on the outside & green policies pushing for a cleaner world over a much larger area than just us on our own, rather than the negative out ideas pushed by some.

A digital world fit for the next generation

For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.
