By Lorraine Platt | 9 May 2022

By Henry Smith MP | 20 January 2022

Roger Gale: It is the season for a fresh crackdown on recalcitrant fox hunters

Deliberately laying a ‘trail hunt’ using the scent of a real animal is asking for ‘accidents’. Time to ban the practice.

By Sir Roger Gale MP | 27 December 2021

Duncan McNair: For too long, UK tourism has driven up cruelty to animals. The Animals Abroad Bill can change that.

But legislation must have teeth – robust enforcement and effective deterrence, not just token fines for multi-billion-pound serial exploiters.

By Duncan McNair | 16 November 2021

Neil Hudson: To level up rural areas, we must rewild them

While we know it delivers good outcomes for biodiversity, the benefits for farmers, communities and the local economy have been less well-documented.

By Dr Neil Hudson MP | 2 September 2021

Henry Smith and Christian Wakeford: The Government would be right to ban fur imports to the UK

The industry’s claims, whether on animal welfare or economic value, simply do not stack up, and public support for action is strong.

By Henry Smith MP and Christian Wakeford MP | 16 July 2021

Stanley Johnson and Eduardo Goncalves: The ban on trophy hunting must happen – and the legislation be fit for purpose

Ministers run the very serious risk of under-estimating the strength of feeling among Conservative voters on this issue.

By Stanley Johnson and Eduardo Goncalves | 1 July 2021

European football. Who needs an elephant when one has Bob Blackman?

“2-0 England is my prediction by the way”, he said in an e-mail received by ConservativeHome at 7.53am yesterday morning.

By Paul Goodman | 30 June 2021

Frank Zilberkweit: Say no to the wardrobe police – the damaging impact of banning natural fur

It would lead to thousands of job losses and closed businesses in the UK, among other damaging consequences.

By Frank Zilberkweit | 9 June 2021

Mario Laghos: Covid reminds us of the dangers of depending on others. We would be mad to do so again – with food.

The proposed Australian trade deal risks bankrupting our farmers. The competition is unfair, their standards lower – and our consumer gain minimal.

By Mario Laghos | 21 May 2021

Gareth Johnson: We must overhaul the way animal cruelty is investigated and prosecuted

A better division of labour between the CPS and RSPCA would help to ensure that increasingly sophisticated criminal gangs face justice.

By Gareth Johnson | 20 May 2021
