We spotted this Water vole on holiday in Lincolnshire and being as they are endangered in Great Britain I thought you might like to see it.

The Rwanda Act passing marks a sad day for the UK - a bad plan based on undermining the rule of law by relying a legal fiction that Rwanda is safe for asylum seekers - and an inhumane policy. Now let’s see what the courts say
