53,000 – Mark Avery

Another thousand passed!

I was on a grouse moor in Yorkshire with Chris Packham, in the Skipton and Ripon constituency actually, when I noticed we had passed this milestone and I texted the Moorland Association to ask whether they had yet found a landowner to represent their ‘sport’ at the Bird Fair.

These are the top 10 constituencies which have produced support for our e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting:

Calder Valley Craig Whittaker 316 CON
Derbyshire Dales Rt Hon Patrick McLoughlin 194 CON
Ross, Skye and Lochaber Ian Blackford 230 SNP
High Peak Andrew Bingham 220 CON
Skipton and Ripon Julian Smith 209 CON
Isle of Wight Mr Andrew Turner 204 CON
Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey Drew Hendry 203 SNP
North Norfolk Rt Hon Norman Lamb 197 LIBDEM
Bristol West Thangam Debbonaire 196 LAB
Brighton, Pavilion Caroline Lucas 194 GREEN

Here are what I think are the latest additions to the list of constituencies with 100 signatures (1 SNP, and quite a few Labour and many more Conservative):

South West Wiltshire Dr Andrew Murrison
