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.

60 million pheasants and red legged partridges are released annually. That's more than double the amount of our native breeding bird biomass released into the landscape EVERY autumn. And most never even get shot. The majority starve, get predated or are hit by SUVs.

I genuinely don’t understand opposition to solar farms, they are no higher than the hedges they sit behind, silent, odourless and no increase in traffic. Less chance of the land being developed for houses etc. “Mass industrialisation of the countryside” is meaningless NIMBY whining.

Stop. Hen harriers are close to functionally extinct in England, because driven grouse shooting estates ruthlessly exterminate them because they predate the red grouse that toffs and traders will pay £35k a day to mow down with shotguns. Carry on.
