Farmed animals are gentle, vulnerable beings who have never harmed us. It’s our responsibility to protect them. Don’t be among those who look away and pretend there's any justifiable reason to allow this terrible abuse to continue.

TUI refuses to stop profiting from the suffering of captive whales and dolphins.
We’ve had enough. More pressure is needed, so we’ve joined with @whalesorg.bsky.social and other leading NGOs to form a powerful coalition to expose TUI’s part in driving the suffering. And you can join us.

Farage claimed in his speech today that he would raise £65 *billion* by cutting climate policies, DEI schemes, and ‘Quangos’.
He’s not running a serious operation and every political journalist in the country has a public duty to shout that from the rooftops
