If you are going to hunt with dogs then this is the only ethical way to do it!

The other alternative is trail hunting specifically not using animal scents...
I belive aniseed balls have been used in the past to lay a trail which seems perfectly reasonable to me

The irony of #YourParty emailing me to squee about Mamdani's victory as if he's their kind of guy when Mamdani is

1. Outspokenly pro trans people and

2. Muslim,

... while YP seem to think those two things are incompatible (which is a RACIST position, by the way), is pretty disgusting.

So today Nigel Farage gave us details of his ideas for economic and financial policies.

And what an absolute disaster they would be.

After years of Tory austerity that have crippled our public services and Liz Truss' disasterous budget he wants more of the same.

I’ve seen on the media how pundits amusingly refer to Zack Polanski as if entirely propped up by social media & youngsters’ ‘vibes’ but to this middle aged women (who has no TikTok account) he seems the most serious political leader in sight talking about real issues with conviction and directness 🤷🏻‍♀️

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

I see the "The Greens are damaging Labour" narrative has started after Labour's slide in the polls. Labour, in it's current form, is no longer fit for purpose. People have every right to look to alternatives.

If Jenrick really believes this then maybe he should stop endorsing racist protests outside asylum hotels, stop encouraging flag-raising designed to intimidate people of colour, and stop spouting divisive, racist bullshit himself. Just a thought.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Fast, cheap, clean rail travel is the way to combat global warming, yet our governments have cancelled half of HS2, pushed rail fares to astronomical levels and authorised massive expansion in airports. 🤷‍♂️

How on earth is doubling capacity for flights going to meet any kind of environmental standards?
Expansion at Gatwick has huge potential. It's cleaner and cheaper than Heathrow and will bring 14,000 jobs adding £1bn to our economy a year.

Great to see the Transport Secretary giving it the green light to go ahead but it must meet environmental standards.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

WATCH THIS: The most amazing thing about this remarkable 2002 car commercial is that it didn’t seem to realize at the time, or perhaps didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars and car infrastructure are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn car company.

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*.

There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

Just 500 signatures needed on this for a government response.

We already know what it's going to say ("don't worry, we've got it covered with SAF and fairy dust"), but it's still vital to tell our politicians we don't want airport expansion.
