Wild Justice submitted an e-petition to the House of Commons Petitions Committee over 50 days ago – they are clearly very busy but quite why it took so long, I can’t say.

Brexit, COVID and hope for the future
Brexit. Remember Brexit? The UK left the EU at the end of January this year (boo!) but we are in a transition period until the end of 2020 – that’s less than four months away. The time has passed for extending the transition period, it ends on the last day of December. By that time…

It was great, and you can catch up here. Here are some highlights: Caroline favours a…
Dear Mr Eustice – the burning question
Dear Mr Eustice, how long are you going to delay making the right decision on heather burning on peatlands? You are making this government look foolish and evasive by not acting on this matter, particularly when scores of Conservative MPs in England are telling their constituents that the government will act. Let’s have a quick…
