Jeremy Clarkson has been forced to kill his first calf after a TB outbreak — despite bragging he’d already “shot all the badgers.”
Turns out, the real problem isn’t badgers. It’s a broken testing system. 🦡

Imagine the Trump-inspired country Farage wants for Britain. No NHS, huge insurance bills, people denied care.
That’s Trump’s America. Don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Farage's Reform want to allow the super-rich to buy their way out of paying UK tax for just £250k.
This would cost the country an estimated £34 billion in lost revenue.
Rather than exempting the wealthiest, the Green Party would tax them properly to help fix our public services.

Labour’s shocking plans to cut vital frontline NHS services must be stopped.
Instead of cuts to hospitals and the community in the name of austerity, the government should remove all privatisation, tax the super rich and invest in these services.
