Thank you to Lucie Heath for taking the time to talk to Georgia Elliott-Smith and to understand the importance of this issue. The ball is very much in Steve Reed MP and Defra UK’s court. Will they act with the urgency this issue requires. RT if you think they should.

Like our Founding Director, George, you will see us active over at bluesky from now on bsky.app/profile/fighti… Do come over and say hello to us there.
