On 14 June Tim Farron announced his decision to step down as leader of the Liberal Democrats.

He said he wished he could have been better able to, ‘remain faithful to Christ while leading a political party in the current environment’.

‘To be a leader, particularly of a progressive liberal party in 2017, and to live as a committed Christian and to hold faithful to the Bible’s teaching has felt impossible for me.’
