Liberal Democrat peers have secured an impressive 20 slots out of 51 for Private Members' Bills for the Parliamentary session ahead. Talk about punching above our weight!

The Bills cover all the sorts of subjects that you would expect Liberal Democrats to be talking about. On Monday Olly Grender and Judith Jolly introduce theirs on Renters' Rights and Register of Arms Brokers respectively.

Here is Tim Farron's speech in full from the Queen's Speech debate. He cracks some pretty decent jokes, maybe a couple that aren't quite as funny, and sets out what we would have done differently.

He also took time to pay tribute to David Rendel.

The text follows.

Mr Speaker, may I first start by commending the Honourable Member for Meriden and the Honourable Member for Bracknell for the grace and humour with which they moved and seconded the humble address.

In the last year we have seen this Government lurch from crisis to crisis, falling out with everyone from NHS staff, to local authorities, to teachers, and even falling out amongst themselves over the European Referendum. They've been so preoccupied with firefighting, that they have shown us nothing in the way of a vision or a long-term strategy.

Events coming up this week (May 16, 2016 to May 22, 2016)

Watch the latest video from the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign:

Time and again, people come up to our campaigners and say, "What do the experts think?"

So we asked a top economist from Oxford University, Professor Paul Collier, what leaving Europe would mean for ordinary working families.

And everyone needs to see his answer. So please watch the short film below and share it on Facebook and Twitter today:

Commenting on the Queen's Speech, Leader of the Liberal Democrats Tim Farron said:

"Only one year in and this Conservative majority is running out of steam.

"30 announcements, but 28 have been made before. Weekend prisoners, announced by a weakened Government.

"The Queen's Speech is a stop-gap to give the warring factions of the Tory party a couple of day's respite from the referendum. It does nothing to address the key issues at stake.

"This country's challenges on education, housing, investment, skills, and the environment are either ignored, or offered nothing more than empty rhetoric.

"The Conservatives are continuing their dogmatic assault on civil liberties with the ongoing threat of the snooper's charter and an obsession to tear up the human rights act. We will fight them every step of the way.

"There are enough re-runs on BBC without having to get the Queen to do her own."

Disability Rights UK welcomes the Government's agreement to hold urgent talks with us and the Disability Consortium on the fairness of the current PIP moving around descriptors. The public offer was made by the DWP Minister during a House of Lords debate on 4 may 2016 where the Lords voted to accept the following motion proposed by Lady Thomas of Winchester: "That this House calls on Her Majesty's Government to hold urgent talks with Disability Rights UK and the Disability Benefits Consortium to identify a mobility criterion in the Personal Independence Payment "moving around" assessment which is fairer than the current 20 metre distance, in the light of the impact on reassessed disabled claimants and the resulting large number of successful appeals." You can read a transcript of the Lords debate Disability Rights UK says: "Motability has reported that, to date, 45% of scheme users - over 13,000 - who have been reassessed from DLA have lost their Motability cars. It tells us that the number of DLA claimants losing their scheme cars has risen from 100 per week this time last year to around 500 per week now. However, the situation is much worse than this as currently only around of third of disabled people who are eligible have chosen to join Motability - the remaining two thirds have not. On this basis, around 1,500 disabled people a week who receive the higher DLA mobility rate are not being awarded its PIP equivalent. This means they have no eligibility for the Motability Scheme and will lose at least £35 per week in benefit (£1,800 per year). The result is devastating on their independence and has resulted in loss of employment for some. Our preferred option would be that the enhanced rate of PIP be awarded to all those who now and in the future cannot reliably walk up to 50 metres. This would involve all those who have been awarded a standard mobility award being awarded instead the enhanced rate without any need for reassessment. Finally, while welcoming discussions with the Government, these need to be informed talks. We have recently had a Freedom of Information Act request refused by the DWP requesting figures on the number of DLA claimants that have lost the higher mobility component. This was refused on the grounds that "the information is intended for publication at a future date". Given the agreement for talks, we call on the Minister to publish detailed breakdowns of those not being awarded PIP enhanced mobility so that all discussions can be fully informed."

On Tuesday 17th May, we as a international community recognise that people facing homophobic, biphobic or transphobic discrimination and harassment wherever it exists is not acceptable and has to be fought against in every possible way.

It is something we should be challenging every day of the year. The consequences to individuals are life-threatening, whether that's execution or imprisonment in 78 countries across the world, or the pervasive grind of bullying in the classroom, workplace or sports field. We must remove discrimination to enable people to lead their lives to be free, loved and respected whatever their sexual orientation or gender identity.
