Great interview with Bob Elliot from @wildjustice.bsky.social on @endsreport.com - paraphrasing but, some things Andy Burnham needs to do - 1) tackle rodenticide misuse 2) end rear &release of game birds in lowlands 3) find a different approach to grouse moors which are so intensively managed

UK prime minister Andy Burnham has confirmed he will attend #COP31, the climate conference in Nov. Interesting he chose to announce it early, to avoid any "will-he-won't-he" stories as has happened with previous PMs. Also deliberate bit of climate leadership as he could've just sent Miliband.

Turns out toilet breaks were possible after all 🚽 Members stood together, refused to back down and secured an important victory. The V&A has agreed to introduce two paid 15-minute breaks for staff at Storehouse after months of campaigning by Prospect members.
