🐦‍⬛ Animal Welfare Party Update on the Holborn & St Pancras by-election which the party has decided not to contest. ⤵️

🌳Having grown up in Nottinghamshire, not far from the festival site, and having been introduced to veganism in the county, Vanessa was delighted to be part of such a huge festival taking place on home turf with several thousand expected to attend over the course of the weekend.

🎪Several hundred attended the two events and a jam-packed schedule continues over the rest of the festival which takes place at Walesby Forest in Nottinghamshire and continues until 16th August.

This was followed by a panel discussion on ‘Veganism & Politics’ alongside Veterinary Professor Andrew Knight, Dr. Chris Jolliffe, Councillor Alasdair Keddie of the Green Party & Claire Ogley of the Vegan Society.

Celebrating academic achievements while trashing shared green spaces? Weavers Fields, Bethnal Green, London strewn with discarded egg cartons, flour packets, plastic bottles & school uniforms today. Why aren’t the LA @TowerHamletsNow & local schools doing more to prevent this?

The macaques are flown into Manchester Airport for onward journeys to vivisection laboratories across the UK. We now hope the issue will be raised at full council on 22nd July. @WiganCouncil @manairport #wigan #macaques #monkeys #flightsofmisery #manchesterairport

Wigan UK: AWP co-hosted a peaceful protest outside Wigan Town Hall today, with Cheshire Animal Rights Campaigns, asking Wigan Council to use its voice as a stakeholder in Manchester Airports Group PLC to help end the imports of macaque monkeys into the UK, via Manchester. /

💡In each of these wards Animal Welfare Party stood for the first time ever and, we believe, our candidates made a small piece of history, asserting as they did that animal issues cannot be sidelined in political decision-making. /
