@andyburnham 🤨 couldn’t make this up! 🤐

The Daily Mail has today reported on my case, after two police officers came to my home following a complaint by MBR Acres over a video I posted about laboratory beagles.

Read here: https://t.co/FWKUQ3ru8L

I was offered a community resolution requiring me to complete online “thinking skills” and “impact of crime” courses. After taking legal advice, I refused to sign. Police later dropped the case with no further action.

My lawyer, Seema Dosaj of Berris Law, warns this raises a much bigger issue:

“Taken together, the Online Safety Act 2023 and the extension of section 7 of the Public Order Act 2023 could have a chilling effect on freedom of expression and peaceful campaigning concerning the use of animals in scientific research.”

This is bigger than me. It is about protecting the right to question, investigate and peacefully campaign.

#SaveTheBeagles

MBR Acres has now been raised in Parliament 18 times in just 7 months – one mention every 11 days. The public is flooding MPs with concerns about the beagles still being bred there and sold to labs to be experimented on.
@BenObeseJecty @NeilForPoole @RachaelMaskell @RichardBurgon @RuthJonesLabour @CarlaDenyer @EllieChowns
and every other MP who has spoken up – thank you. Please keep the pressure on.

@AndyBurnhamGM – the public keeps raising this with their MPs. What are you doing about MBR Acres and protecting these poor beagles?
Despite Labour’s pre-election promises to reduce the use of dogs in laboratories, the latest Home Office figures show procedures on dogs increased in 2025 (up 9% to 2,889). Dogs are still being experimented on and killed while safe and humane alternatives exist?

[Ricky Gervais @rickygervais]

I can't get to The US to promote ALLEY CATS as I'm on tour in The UK. So, Americans, ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for me. Just watch ALLEY CATS on Netflix on August 7th. Thanks for asking.

Chums! Baby Dog here. This weather is BONKERS! One minute it’s Boiling Hot, and the next minute, there’s Thunder, Lightning, and Torrential Rain! Dad took me out for a walk really early this morning, to avoid the heat, and we got soaked! Look at the state of me! ⛈️

This is my favourite quote so far ❤️

@rickygervais Donkeys are such beautiful innocent goofballs ❤️🫏🥰

[Ricky Gervais @rickygervais]

Donkeys are the most beautiful, companionable and gentle souls on earth. But every year 6 million are stolen, slaughtered and skinned for fake Chinese medicine. Some people are stupid cunts.

[Donna Torch @DonnieT01]

@gervaisclips @rickygervais It really was 😭 cried like a baby watching this scene. And wasn’t the bike riding scene just after? Cos then I was howling with laughter 😂 brilliant series 🙌

[Donna Torch @DonnieT01]

@PickliciousF Oh @PickliciousF 🥹 you deserve the world 🥰 but settling for a mansion with a chubby bloke & beautiful mummy isn’t bad either 😻😆❤️

[Pickle @PickliciousF]

I spent 4 years in the bad place, but I’ve had over 5 years in the best place ever! Every day the percentage of my life that was in the bad place gets smaller! Please rescue a sad kitty if you can. Love Pickle, former sad kitty now the happiest girl in the world.

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Excuse me! It’s Percy here. I think sometimes, I should be allowed to sit at the Top of our Cat Tree, but Cleo thinks she is Queen of the Castle 🏰 She won’t let me have a turn! What should I do, friends? My tactics aren’t working 🙀 #CatsOnX
