LAST DAY to sign petition calling for ban of driven grouse shooting petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

104,000+ sigs so will almost certainly get a debate. Add your signature before midnight or, after 6 months, you've missed the boat.

Big thanks to all who've signed.

The image presents a comparison between two types of lawns to promote #NoMowMay. On the left side, titled "Why have a lawn like this?" it displays a grid of uniform green squares representing a plain, regularly mowed lawn. On the right side, titled "When you can have a lawn like this?" the grid intersperses colourful icons of a sunflower, a pink flower, a ladybug, a frog, a bee, a butterfly, a white flower with a yellow centre, a tulip, another sunflower, a red mushroom with white spots, and additional flowers, symbolising a lively, biodiverse lawn encouraged by letting grass grow naturally during May.

The @wildjustice.bsky.social petition to ban driven grouse shooting has passed 97,000 signatures thanks to you. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Even I am fairly confident that we'll get 100,000 signatures, triggering a Westminster parliament debate, by 22 May. 22 April would be even better!
