Why we must stand up for EU citizens’ right to stay in the UK #notacard
I've only done a couple of posts in the past week or so, making reference to "events" keeping me away from LDV. When I came back from Witney, I found my husband very seriously ill. An ambulance dash and some very scary moments later, my worst fears were confirmed and then some. Things have now settled down considerably. We've had a couple of boring days without medical drama now and we'd like things to stay that way. He will be in hospital for a wee while yet, though, so please bear with me if it takes me some time to respond to things. The rest of the team have been fantastic - so many thanks to them for stepping in while I've been preoccupied.

Catherine Bearder MEP writes…Golden opportunity to end the illegal ivory trade wasted
I was honoured to be part of the European Parliament's observer delegation to the CITES CoP17 in South Africa. As a campaigner for wildlife protection I know the opportunity to influence protection at the highest level is rare. Before I headed to South Africa I voted in favour of a European Parliament resolution calling for all elephants to be listed on Appendix 1 of CITES (the Convention in Trade of Endangered Species) This would mean in effect a total ban on the international trade in elephants.

Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron has slammed the government's landmark decision to allow fracking in Lancashire, saying it shows "contempt" for the local voices which had opposed the move and is an attempt to turn the North West into a "fracking testing ground".
