Absolutely ridiculous. It just exposes how far politicians are influenced by the meat and dairy lobbyists.

Can you explain the difference between the CfD strike prove at over Β£100/MwH and this graph. Genuinely interested. A Tory minister was using this as an argument yesterday saying the strike price was more than our current average grid price? Thanks

Our research makes it clear: by capitulating to the right, Labour is driving voters to Reform UK | Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte Mimicking Farage on immigration is senseless. Labour voters feel betrayed; anti-immigration voters see through the ruse, say academics Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

Have you seen a circus with animals, or a mobile zoo near you?

Let us know! πŸ“

We can contact landowners and councils to push for animal-free events.

Every report helps us take action against cruelty. πŸ’ͺ✨

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest β€œisn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers

There were police everywhere in central London yesterday. I think there’s an attitude from some politicians who think the public likes this - that we’ll see it as a show of strength.

Are you joking? Londoners want to move about our city, and exercise free speech tolerantly.
