British Conservatives: "Russia has disgracefully interfered in politics in France, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and invaded Ukraine. They even meddled in the US elections." Also British Conservatives: "What? Russia! Interfere in Brexit? Ridiculous! Just a tired old conspiracy theory."

Catapult attacks on animals are surging, yet these horrific acts aren't tracked as a specific, standalone crime. We need a dedicated law to ensure abusers face real consequences.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social a small complaint in the grand scheme but can something be done about cost of printer ink? Ridiculous that can buy new printer cheaper than some inks, leading to printers getting dumped and new one bought instead of buying ink. Can pressure be put on companies?

The BBC is already giving Nigel Farage coverage for a speech he hasn’t even delivered. Report on what he says tomorrow, by all means. But previewing it now gives him free publicity and lets him set the agenda before anyone can scrutinise his words.

With near-daily reports of birds being targeted and killed with airguns and catapults, the cruelty facing our wildlife is reaching a crisis point. Every animal deserves to live free from violence.

It wasn’t so long ago the argument was you couldn’t tax the rich because they use the money to start new businesses, driving growth- But the idea multi billionaires needed more capital to start new businesses is so patently absurd they dropped the mask & now just shout “BILLIONAIRES DESERVE IT!”

This is the stark reality of catapult crime. Kids are sharing their kills on TikTok and other social media apps, ticking off species on their Kill Lists. Enough is enough. We are calling for catapult crime on wildlife to become a standalone criminal offence.
