Less than 48 hours until Parliament decides whether the petition to end the Guga hunt stays open for consideration in the next Parliament or is closed now.

Beautiful Glenys ❤️

Pigs are no different to us. They just want comforting food, a warm, dry shelter and to feel safe and happy 🤗

Please help protect pigs, go #vegan and become a #Pigoneer 🐖 globalvegancrowdfunder.org/pigoneer-200...

What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms. 

But we will not be silenced.

Reform wants to put public unions ‘under review’, by-election candidate has said Comments late last year indicate challenges Farage faces in courting working-class voters

Unions enforce your employment rights.
Unions can help if you’re discriminated against or mistreated by your employer.
Reform doesn’t want you to have that help.
They don’t care how badly you’re treated at work.
They’re taking the piss out of you.
You should mind.

Does Nigel Farage have a problem with women? Critics say Reform leader’s patronising rhetoric is part of worrying trend. He says scrutiny is a two way street.

This week Nigel Farage was accused of patronising a female journalist, hired a hardline anti-abortion theologian as his head of policy and promised to repeal the Equality Act on his party’s first day in government. Does he have a women problem? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

UK Aid Cuts Now Deeper than the US After Congress Pushes Back The US Congress has just passed its Fiscal Year 2026 spending bill. The bill includes much of the international affairs budget and—while there’s no guarantee these funds will be fully spent by the adm...

Many of us have been highly critical to cuts to US development assistance, yet a new report from @cgdev.org reveals that cuts by U.K. have been even deeper. What on earth is going on?

At this very moment, foxes are being hunted, exhausted, and ripped apart by hounds all under the guise of "tradition."

Boxing Day is the biggest event for the hunting community, even though it’s illegal.

Share to raise awareness and help end this cruelty for good. 🦊

I often criticise this gov but fair play here - all good moves. Just praying the Countryside Alliance doesn’t derail the trail hunting proposals. And ban the badger cull while we are at it!!
