The first six weeks

Gavin Gamble’s e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting is still waiting for a response from Defra. It now stands at 11,154 signatures.

Here are the leading constituencies so far – many of them are old friends (all with 50+ signatures):

1. Inverness, Badenoch and Strathspey, Drew Hendry MP, 85 signatures
2. Skipton and Ripon, Julian Smith MP, 69 signatures
3. Calder Valley, Craig Whittaker, 65 signatures
4. Ross, Skye and Lochaber, Ian Blackford MP, 63 signatures
5. Thirsk and Malton, Kevin Hollinrake MP, 64 signatures
6. Sheffield Hallam, Jared O’Mara, 63 signatures
7. Dumfries and Galloway, Alister Jack MP, 62 signatures
8. Isle of Wight, Bob Seeley MP, 62 signatures
9. Sheffield Central, Paul Blomfield MP, 55 signatures
10. Penrith and The Border, Rory Stewart MP, 53 signatures
11. Argyll and Bute, Brendan O’Hara MP, 53 signatures
12. High Peak, Ruth George MP, 53 signatures

Please sign here.

I’ll stick my neck out and predict a significant leap forward in the number of signatures by this time next week…

…although whether Barking will ever attract a signature remains to be seen.
