Steve Darling: A local hero and rising Liberal Democrat MP

This week, Tim sits down with Steve Darling, the Liberal Democrat MP for Torbay. If you’ve followed local politics in Torbay, you probably know Steve—he’s been involved since 1995 and led Torbay Council from 2019 to 2023. What you might not know is that Steve is registered blind and works alongside his amazing guide dog, Jennie. In their chat, Steve opens up about his journey into politics, sharing how his faith has been a constant source of strength and inspiration along the way. Tim also takes a moment to mark the 76th anniversary of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, reflecting on why it remains so important today.
