The irony of this story is not lost on me - OFWAT, the water regulator failing so badly to hold water companies to account for their pollution of our rivers - awards £1.5m to one of them to…..try cleaning up rivers. Marvellous. I have a top tip - prevention is always better than cure - stop water companies from dumping in our rivers first, before trying to clean it up.

El Niño is arriving on our doorstep in the coming months with 90% certainty.
The world must treat it as the urgent climate warning it is.
The only effective response is #ClimateAction equal to the crisis – ending the addiction to fossil fuels, accelerating the shift to renewables, protecting the most vulnerable, and delivering early warning systems for all.

Bears are being killed for ornamental caps - and the MoD’s orders have jumped by 336% under the Labour government.
Records obtained by PETA show that the MoD ordered 96 bearskin caps from January to September 2025, compared with 22 in 2024.
Bears in Canada are baited with sweet food, shot with guns or crossbows, and their pelts are sold to fur auction houses.
The MoD must stop using taxpayer money to fund this violence and instruct cap-makers to develop a modern faux fur cap now.
Oliver Thompson, the Avon Vale and Old Berks Fox torturer with multiple convictions for animal cruelty, is back at the Old Berks Hunt, and he really doesn’t want you to fill in the government consultation to ban his favourite psychopathic pastime.
If there’s no trail hunting, and no exemptions - then it’s much harder for him to torture foxes like this one which he baited to his terrier “Nelly” whilst he was kennel huntsman at the Avon Vale.

There’s less than three weeks left to finish hunting for good.

For over 20 years hunts have exploited loopholes within the Hunting Act and continue terrorising our wildlife. By their own admission 'trail hunting' has only ever been a smokescreen and now we have a chance to end it.
Speaking in a recent video by the League Against Cruel Sports, Chris Packham speaks about how 'trail hunting' has enabled hunts to continue hunting as though the Hunting Act never happened and how it is "symbolic of the way that we fail to respect the other life on our planet, our precious wildlife."
The government consultation into banning 'trail hunting' closes on the 18th of June. This is a once in a generation opportunity to end hunting and your voice is vital 👉 https://t.co/LU5aw2G5YF

🦡 The government’s decision not to renew the final culling licence in Cumbria has brought an end to one of the country’s most ineffective wildlife control policies.
However, there's still uncertainty about what may happen next. Read the full story here: https://t.co/ppexm9hXyB
Unfortunately, there are horrifying levels of reports nationally about violence towards women from those in the hunting community, and these reports span back decades. This incident in particular took place in February 2026 at the Warwickshire Hunt.
Hunt member Harry Sawyer who was wilfully obstructing a vehicle on a public highway assaulted a female saboteur. He twisted her arm up her back, digging his fingers into her as he did so and pushed her into the road where traffic was passing.
West Midlands Hunt Saboteurs reports from last season show alarming behaviour from Sawyer who has repeatedly tried to intimidate female saboteurs and has on more than one occasion used physical violence towards them. However, Sawyer is not an isolated case and female saboteurs have been subjected to horrifying levels of violence at the hands of hunt supporters, who believe they are above the law.
Is it any surprise that these people who are exposed to and participate in sickening scenes of animal cruelty week in and week out think it is acceptable to inflict violence upon other people, just because they are preventing and exposing their illegal hunting.
More often than not they face little to no consequences for their actions and so the cycle continues.
There is less than three weeks until the consultation into ‘trail hunting’ closes. This is our chance to end hunting for good, but it needs each and every one of you to have your say. Find out more at https://t.co/LU5aw2G5YF
