🗞️ NEWS: Bradford petition asks for total ban on fireworks "People are feeling depressed, they are feeling anxious, they are not looking forward to a peaceful evening anymore because we know what to expect." 🔊 This Radio Leeds segment is a MUST LISTEN! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
Fireworks… An honour to lead today’s Petitions debate on fireworks misuse on behalf of 370,000 people across the UK The debate was incredibly well attended, and I took well over 15 interventions from colleagues from across the house. It is clear that there is huge public support for change to regulations - and the government should do so without delay. If we choose to continue to ignore this issue, then I fear it is inevitable there will be more unnecessary deaths, injuries and traumas for the victims of fireworks in the future… You can watch my speech below👇

Countryfile is covering city of culture Bradford. There is no city less ‘countryside’ than Bradford. Again the BBC push their woke agenda. While @JeremyClarkson does more to educate the public and useless @UKLabour than anyone in the past 50 years. Time to #DefundtheBBC
Strictly come dancing practice in parliament today! Lindsay Hoyle and Angela Rippon lead the class
It's just constant bombardment out there. A country of absolute bastards. An evil, backwards, completely doomed island of the worst people imaginable. People and animals shouldn't be living in these conditions. I can't stand it any longer.
Please keep sharing the petition, we’re really close to smashing through the 100k barrier! #fireworklawchange petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7381…
Firework Season is a time of high activity for migratory birds in the UK. Here’s what studies show #fireworks do to them, it makes terrible reading: “The primary effects of #fireworks on birds stem from their intense noise and bright flashes, which can trigger panic responses. Migrating birds, which often travel at night to avoid predators and conserve energy, are particularly susceptible. Studies show that fireworks cause birds to abandon roosts en masse, leading to erratic flight patterns and increased altitude to escape the disturbance.” “It is shocking to see just how much further birds are flying on nights with fireworks compared to other nights,” says Andrea Kölzsch, a research scientist at the MPI-AB and first author on the study. “Some individuals flew hundreds of kilometres over a single night, covering distances that they normally would only fly during migration.” As Environment Secretary @EmmaforWycombe you should be doing something about fireworks and their effect on nature. @Natures_Voice @RSPBScience @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin #fireworklawchange You can read the full report here: mpg.de/19528005/1121-…
