If Essex is serious about stopping animal cruelty, then it must also be serious about ending trail hunting.
Trail hunting has long been criticised as a loophole that enables illegal fox hunting under another name.

Driving home for Christmas? We've got you covered.
We’ve frozen fuel duty, helping to bring down prices at the pumps, and we’re delivering historic investment in our roads to end the pothole plague.
This is the difference with Labour.

Over 14 years they made owning or renting your own home unaffordable to so many.
But it’s ok everyone the Tories can still afford a £14Million home in Westminster.
Securing a new permanent CCHQ in Westminster is a major step forward.
A £14m investment that strengthens our Party, supports the next generation of Conservative candidates, and builds the foundation for victory.
Thank you to the Conservative Party Foundation.

I’m asking Parliament to give us the powers to regulate children’s care providers properly — and impose a profit cap if needed.
