[Countryside Alliance @CAupdates]

An unprecedented range of government policies over the past two years have left rural people feeling under attack.

If political leaders want to speak for all parts of the country, they have to hear the countryside too.

Now is the time for a rural reset: https://t.co/PtkrFtloJ6

[Conservative Peers @HLConservatives]

WATCH: Today, Lord True argued for proper Parliamentary scrutiny of the Prime Minister's policies.

Having changed the programme in the House of Commons to avoid Parliamentary scrutiny, the Government has once again blocked Parliamentary scrutiny in the House of Lords with the support of the Liberal Democrats.

Only the Conservatives are standing up for Parliament's right to hold the Government to account.

My fellow peers hell bent on stopping this Bill need to wake up and smell the coffee.

🚨 British racing faces an unprecedented threat – a tax raid which could see it lose £66 million a year and tip it into irreversible decline. We need to stop the racing tax before it's too late.

What a fantastic video. Great work @arenaracingco ! This brilliantly captures what 85k people working in racing across the UK know about the positive impact horses and racing have on our country.

[ITV Racing @itvracing]

This video, by Arena Racing Company, highlights the horse racing industry's social impact and the employment it generates within society.

Very sad news. David was a huge racing fan, advocate for the sport & a good friend. Despite our different political backgrounds, I really enjoyed working with him on the Lords Digital committee and talking about racing whenever we could. He will be much missed by many.

[British Horseracing Authority @BHAHorseracing]

Lord Lipsey was a staunch supporter of British horseracing and formerly an APPG member. Our condolences to his family at this incredibly sad time.

@AmbJapanUK Thank you @AmbJapanUK for your commendation and for joining us at Newmarket yesterday. @TheJockeyClub is deeply honoured and we look forward to deepening our partnership with Japan

[dido harding @didoharding]

RIP Michael 🖤

[The Jockey Club @TheJockeyClub]

Michael was hugely popular with his weighing room colleagues both in Ireland and the UK and our thoughts are with them, his family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time.

[The Jockey Club @TheJockeyClub]

All our thoughts are with Joe Saumarez Smith's family, friends and colleagues at the British Horseracing Authority.

[dido harding @didoharding]

@BHAHorseracing RIP Joe 🖤 racing will miss you hugely

[Dan Carden @DanCardenMP]

British horse racing is the best in the world, but its funding model is broken. Securing a levy deal in racing’s favour and setting out a plan to significantly increase prize money are essential to the industry’s future success.

[dido harding @didoharding]

Sending all love and support to @JoeSaumare90813 and his family. On behalf of everyone in the Jockey Club thank you Joe for all you have done for racing. You have always put the sport you love first and today is no different. You will be sorely missed!

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

Horse racing is a £4.1 billion British success story, and derives much of its income from responsible gambling. Today I asked the Secretary of State if she will reform the Betting Levy and disproportionate affordability checks.

And while the country celebrate, spare a thought for John Hunt. I can’t remember feeling so utterly horrified in years. Those poor girls. Truly horrific💔

Parliamentarians made it clear social media companies should enforce Ts&Cs banning under-13s.
