Come on Labour. Listen to the environmentalists, listen to your scientific advisers, fulfil that election promise. Ban bee-killing pesticides now. Not next year. Not the year after. NOW.

This is Jeremy Clarkson, who’s used Clarkson’s Farm to vilify badgers as scapegoats for bTB and has allegedly wiped them out on his own farm. He’d hate it if people ‘RT'd’ this and signed the petition to end the Badger cull.. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7003…

It's time to put an end to Boxing Day hunt parades. Local councils must take a stand against these wildlife crimes and hold hunts accountable. RT if you agree!

This is the lovely Nigel Farage. The photographer gave him a message before he went to support the Boxing Day hunt. He’d hate it if people RT’d this and signed the petition for a proper ban on fox hunting - protectthewild.org.uk/our-campaigns/…

Boxing Day is the busiest hunt day in the calendar. There is nothing more sick and twisted than chasing a fox with a pack of hounds with the sole purpose of tearing it apart for pleasure. Trail hunting is a cover for fox hunting, it’s illegal, it’s barbaric and it has to stop.

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/0bjy

The Bibi Broadcasting Corporation has just torpedoed all its remaining credibility with this decision, confirming the impression both of extreme moral cowardice amongst its governing board, & their extreme partiality, not just for Israel but for actively shielding Netanyahu’s

I think it's time for Labour Party Yvette Cooper to own up - you've totally screwed up on proscribing Palestine Action whilst doing nothing to stop the Israeli state from prosecuting war crimes, genocide and illegal occupation of Palestinian land. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
