The lack of monitoring the conduct and behaviour of the majority of badger cull operatives continues to worry many. Out of the hundreds & thousands of badgers shot so far, how many badgers have been killed humanely? We will never know. That - is - a - disgrace

It's been almost 20 years. It's time for us to accept that the Hunting Act has not worked and we need a new law. A law that is going to ban ALL forms of hunting with hounds. A law that will truly protect wildlife. A proper ban on hunting.

Remember @KeirStarmerPM that if you continue with this, the UK's entire carbon budget will be used up on this project alone. Are you committed to Net Zero or not?

Solid Tory voters are turning away from this government. They see the corruption and the looting of this nation which is taking place in the name of greed.
Nothing, literally nothing, is better than it was in 2010.

My dad is in his late 70s, an adamant lifetime Tory voter. He told me that he'd voted for an Independent candidate and a Lib Dem on his postal vote. It's finally gotten through to him that they've done nothing but make our lives harder!

This is becoming a truly disturbing country:
Marcus Decker has been warned he will lose all privileges if he talks to the media from prison, where he is serving one of the longest sentences ever passed for a non-violent protest in British history.

Dear @michaelgove you have the power to save Brislington Meadows. You said you didn’t want appeals to override local democracy but that’s what’s happening here. We shouldn’t be building over ancient hedgerows and SNCIs! (Sites of nature conservation interest) Please listen!🙏

This natural regen site at Waterbrook, Ashford is threatened by a housing development. The darkside ecologists working for the developer claimed that Nightingale was 'unlikely' despite finding previous records. Sorry lads, you're not getting away with that one.

Our humble garden hedgehog once walked with sabre toothed tigers and hairy mammoths.
It has survived, unchanged, for over 15 million years, despite persecution and hardships.
We must not be the generation who finally wipes out this stoic little creature.

Highly pathogenic bird flu confirmed in pheasants at Bettws Hall - 'Europe's leading game hatchery' - in Powys, mid-Wales.
This will be a huge blow to the gamebird shooting industry.
