Oh dear. How many is this now? Wouldn't he be a better fit for one of the more metropolitan seats, where theTories lost by 35,000?

More of that Therese Coffey stardust.

"on the side of shooters". Do they know how this looks? Do they even care anymore?

Probably not and no.

Well they’ve tried everything else from America might as well look at the NRA

Ramblers, shoot them as well. Do we know what they’re conserving? It’s not bullets.
Most rural MPs who aren’t certifiable are happy to see trespass remain a minor civil dispute. Criminalising their voters for blackberry picking and dog walking on a Sunday afternoon isn’t desirable.

The sheep are gonna be pissed off at Coffey.

Coffey looks like she could use some exercise herself. Walking in the countryside is good.

More people in rural communities enjoy a walk in the countryside than are farmers. In fact, quite a few farmers enjoy having ramblers cross their land.

And British Association of Shooting and Conservation? This is the Ian Botham "we do more to conserve by blasting half of it to death than you lot" brigade, isn't it? Guessing those last 2 words were hastily added at some point.

I wish someone would tackle the rising numbers of magpies though, bloody things.

Best way to keep magpie numbers down is to install attractive Blue Peter presenters.

I'm afraid that in the children's TV show presenter PHWOARRR! stakes, Susan Stranks is untouchable.

As opposed to Sally "I didn't know there were two full stops in Tiswas" James?

Congratulations North of England. Not only are you not getting HS2, it's now on the cards that you'll actually be getting the square root of fuck-all.

Government documents that were abruptly deleted after appearing online with announcements of new transport projects were just giving “examples” of what savings from the scrapping of HS2’s northern leg could be spent on, a minister has claimed.

The documents detailed an extra £100m of funding for a mass transit “underground” project in Bristol. Mention of plans to invest £36bn in projects around the north and Midlands, including reopening Transport North East’s Leamside line, were also removed from the government’s website.

“We gave some examples to people about the sorts of things – and we know these things are priorities locally – the sorts of things that that money could be spent on, and to bring it to life for people,” the transport secretary, Mark Harper, told the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire on Sunday...

Why give £36bn to plebs when we can give it to our mates?

Exterminating all known wildlife that could eat a grouse before they’re shot by drunken halfwits is also vital in order to provide jobs.

The similarity between "Vote Leave" and the Northern Transport promise is striking. The "£350 million a week for the NHS" pledge became a suggestion. The transport spending for the North, promised less than 48 hours ago, have become suggestions.

You can tell that little turd Cummings is back.
