Another 1000 signatures – we reached 54000 yesterday. That was quite a slow 1000 signatures but I predict we will have at least a couple of quick ones in the next week, and at least a couple more in the next week. But we will see, we will see.
The MPs from the latest additions to the ‘100 Club’ of constituencies supplying 100 signatures to the e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting are an interesting bunch including the outgoing Prime Minister, his potential successor, a fellow Etonian, a north London Labourite, a rural SNP seat and a third Tory MP in a list of six:
- South Northamptonshire Andrea Leadsom MP
- Witney Rt Hon David Cameron MP
- North East Fife Stephen Gethins MP
- North East Somerset Mr Jacob Rees-Mogg MP
- Hornsey and Wood Green Catherine West MP
- Lincoln Karl McCartney MP
A quick scan of the data shows that there are eight more constituencies (six Tory, two Labour) perched on 99 signatures, so expect the list to grow quite quickly, quite soon.
And it really is only just over two weeks ago since we voted for #Brexit, and two weeks ago to the day I posted this post which, considering the pace of events, hasn’t aged too badly in that time. And two weeks ago we were on 46000 signatures! We have momentum.
