We thought we’d take an occasional look through the Twitter feeds of leadership hopefuls Norman Lamb and Tim Farron. Today they are united, marching for human rights.
Delighted to be marching & speaking up for the Lib Dems on the Human Rights Act today. These rights are integral for a free & fair society

On way to Lib Dem Human Rights Act protest in London – Rule of law and protection of human rights: foundation stone of civilised society

Norman saw one omission from the Queen’s Speech:
Why no reference 2 Bill 2 give new rights to people with mental ill health & those with learning disability in Queen's Speech @JusticeforLB
— Norman Lamb (@normanlamb) May 28, 2015
While Tim has an important reminder:
Tomorrow the Queen's Speech will show how much of a moderating force the Lib Dems were in government. #tim2lead #libdems

Both men would stand up for rights of 16 and 17 year olds:
I believe that if 16 and 17 year olds can decide if Scotland should be independent, they should decide on our relationship with the EU.

Remarkable response to my tweet calling for votes for 16/17 yr olds in EU referendum: Our continent, our country, our future.

But that begs the question – would they vote against bill if it didn’t allow these young people their say? We’ll ask.
On the lighter side, Norman has his tat sorted:
Do you like the new #BackNorman badges? pic.twitter.com/N0jVT1BNGH

While Tim has to apologise to Daisy Benson:
@_DaisyBenson @lfeatherstone @nick_clegg well..I'm sorry. I made a mistake! I should have snapped you up
— Tim Farron (@timfarron) May 29, 2015
We’ll be keeping an eye on their social media over the next six weeks. Watch this space.

Those NORMtrooper badges are awesome. Hahah!
They certainly tap into that sort of Lib Dem geekery:-)
