Retired but hoping to apply for a job as 'apprentice curmudgeon' as soon as an opening comes up. I don't feel ready to be a qualified, fully fledged one yet.

It's #TimeForChange! Please contact Emma Reynolds and ask her to launch a broad and comprehensive consultation, covering the entirety of the Hunting Act, as soon as possible.

We must strengthen the hunting laws
We must not let hunting slip down the agenda because of changes in government.

The #TimeForChange is now! Please join me in pledging to take part in the government consultation to #EndHunting @LeagueACS takeaction.league.org.uk/page/172854/...
Help me end hunting with dogs
Hunting with dogs was supposed to be banned 20 years ago, but in reality it never stopped. Hunts have continued to chase and kill wild animals as if the law never changed.

Don’t kick ordinary people out of courtrooms @DavidLammy! Juries bring fairness, lived experience and protect us from prejudice, scrapping them won’t fix our failing justice system. Sign the petition to save our juries now: 38d.gs/yirg
Drop plans to scrap jury trials and replace them with a judge-only process. We must keep justice in the people's hands.
I just signed the campaign calling to save our juries
