Govt suppressed this horrifying report last year, sneaking it out now while attention elsewhere, no doubt hoping to bury dire implications of likely ecosystem collapse. Ministers must urgently step up, change direction & restore vital life support systems https://t.co/TMdoXBuhMD
Let's see how many of those MPs who attended Boxing Day hunt meets yesterday, defending trail hunting, will have the guts to condemn the BSV hunt today, openly fox hunting across the busy A30.
None of the supporters who saw the fox warned the hunt staff that hounds were on a fox and none stepped in to warn traffic until we told them to. Thanks to @NDHuntSabs and other monitors out today. @ProtectTheWild_@HuntSabs@scruffycop

What does wild-caught shrimp cost?
All the species you see here die for this little handful.
As a marine biologist, I'd love to tell you in detail what a long-term ecological disaster bottom trawling is, but few would read it—so look—let this image speak to you.
Make these 'men' famous. Richard Smith of the South Durham Hunt strikes the horse twice in 20 seconds. Whilst huntmaster Rob Wilkinson seems to be smiling in the background.

We are very sorry but the Blackmore and Sparkford Vale Hunt killed today. The fox was pursued from Inwood, across Toomer Hill and into a dense patch of brambles by the A30 where riders and terriermen prevented the fox from crossing the main road.
This is Richard Smith. He probably wouldn't want you sharing this everywhere. It's him striking a poor horse over the head with a riding crop at the weekend.
Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #Planning bill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇
This is Richard Smith of the South Durham Hunt and he thinks it’s ok to hit a horse over the head. Make this ‘man’ famous.

Just so deeply depressing. If Ministers can’t support something as simple as swift bricks, which can have an amazing impact for swifts, then what hope is there for more complex measures? They just don’t care
Trump's election should mark a turning point for the UK - do we want to remain a US outpost on the outskirts of Europe, or chart a new course? Time for us to turn away from the White House and start working with those who share our values

Douglas Barrowman sold a possibly criminal, tax avoidance scheme using an Isle of Man company called Principal Contracts Ltd. The Isle of Man authorities say it failed to file accounts, paid unlawful dividends, & failed to pay £5m of Isle of Man VAT.
Guess what happened next?
@Hyperoptic Wow, your behaviour really is shocking. Desperately trying to terminate my contract with you since 18 June and you simply don’t let me! @Ofcom Can you please take a look at the business practices of Hyperoptic?
I visited a most wonderful meadow today. We really do need more of this! Our insects cannot survive in a landscape with no wildflowers & no diversity. This captures carbon & forms the basis of the food chain. @BSBIbotany@LGSpace@wildflower_hour@HantsIWWildlife
Forget the elephant in the room. Let’s talk about the #bumblebees in the box.
A thread on the commodification of bumblebees to produce your #food.
The numbers.

Dear councils, 97% of meadows are gone. So please, this year, when the wildflowers return to the verges and our public spaces, don't poison them or over-mow them. Let them grow as a lifeline for insects like bees, butterflies and hoverflies 🐝
As always, many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain what they’re up to.
Please #retweet.
Every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year!
