Trail hunting is simply a smoke screen for fox hunting.
I was asked about it on BBC Politics South West and was quite clear that I’ll be pushing Govt to close the trail hunting loophole.

First a BBC Radio Cornwall interview. Then I was back at No 10 Downing St to speak to economic advisors about the massive critical minerals potential in Cornwall.
Then a moment of reflection when I planted a cross in the Parliamentary Remembrance Memorial for Camborne, Redruth and Hayle.

Yesterday began day running 4.5k for Movember. 4.5 signifies the difference in men’s and women’s life expectancies. This was followed by a catch up with Sustainable Foods Cornwall before PMQs. Then back to PCH for the #IPTPoppyride for the Royal British Legion. Finally two Westminster Hall debates.

Yesterday I raised with the Sec of State for Health Wes Streeting the issue of the appalling NHS treatment of Amy, who came to my constituency surgery and movingly explained how the NHS had let her down.
I know there are similar failures that have gone on over the years.
We will fix the NHS.

A very long day Friday began with a 4:45am alarm, and a journey back up London for the 3rd day of the Assisted Dying debate. Many, many amendments are being discussed in detail, in an apolitical debate. I will attend, listen and read as much as I can and make my final decision.

Last Thursday was the UK Mining Conference with Cornish Lithium, Cornish Metals, Cornwall Resources and many more. A really important event in the #criticalminerals calendar. So much at stake and so much opportunity for Cornwall if we get this right. First up was Jayne’s speech, then my speech!

I know this isn’t top of everyone’s agenda, but ensuring the Cornish Language is afforded the same status as the other four UK Celtic languages to me and many others. Over the last few months, I’ve contributed to debates, written parliamentary questions and written directly to Ministers.
