I lost this ring in the toilets in Bounce in Farringdon tonight. It’s hardly worth anything, but it’s a ring my dad gave my mum and it’s priceless to me now that he’s not here. It’s gold, with a diagonal band of green stones on it. If you find it can you please get it back to me

Snares—cruel, indiscriminate traps—are officially banned in Scotland starting today! 🎉 But why are they still legal in England and Northern Ireland?
200,000 snares lie hidden in the English countryside, harming wildlife & pets alike. It's time for a UK-wide ban.

Scotland once again ahead of Westminster, as snares set to be banned from Monday
Snares are now banned in both Scotland and Wales - so when will England and Northern Ireland get up to speed on this barbaric practice?

Reasonable people have been co-opted into the idea that a declared legal donation is just like "a bit of cake" or "gold wallpaper". Declared, same as undeclared. Legal, same as illegal. This isn't just a smear of Labour. It's a whitewash of the Tories and a lot of good folks just picked up a brush.
