Conservative MPs jeered when I urged the Prime Minister to help end the starvation and suffering in Gaza. Sickening, but they won’t stop me raising this.

“Over the past 50 years, there has been a drastic loss in the global wildlife population that will gradually get worse.

Currently, an estimated 200 species have been lost in the UK.”
Climate change is affecting our wildlife. Can we help nature?
Wildlife loss is prominent in Greater Manchester. Why is this happening, and is there anything we can do to prevent further loss?

Changes to Agricultural Property Relief would not only affect the finances of family farms, but the mental health of farmers too. They have persevered through floods, shoddy trade deals and the loss of markets. They really didn't need this added stress.
