We’re LIVE now for #OperationSmokeScreen; exposing an illegal fox hunt. We’re gatecrashing the notorious Cottesmore Hunt 😡 We’ll be broadcasting for as long as the Hunt is here today. Watch along for all the action. opsmokescreen.org @NhantsHuntsabs

“You can run but you cannot hide!” Our presence is clearly not wanted at the Cottesmore Hunt today! But we are with the @NhantsHuntsabs following and exposing this notorious hunt LIVE all day. #OperationSmokeScreen Help to stop fox hunting opsmokescreen.org

"This is illegal, you’re watching this happen...it’s illegally in pursuit of a fox" We’ve witnessed a hound from the Cottesmore Hunt following the scent of an exhausted fox. @NhantsHuntsabs are trying to call the hound off. Help to stop fox hunting opsmokescreen.org

With every bit of my professional authority, I am saying that no woman who values her safety should ever stay at a Travelodge. Travelodge does not care about the safety of their female guests. Their security protocols are so nonexistent that the @TravelodgeUK in Maidenhead, following hotel policy, gave a woman’s hotel room key to a stranger in the middle of the night — without calling her to get permission — because he knew her name and claimed to be her boyfriend. She woke up to find him sexually assaulting her. To clarify: Travelodge in Maidenhead gave a sexual predator the key to a woman’s hotel room - a room in which she was the only registered guest - because they failed to train their people to check with her first, and she was sexually assaulted as a result. By way of an apology, they offered her a £30 refund. I don’t know how civil litigation works in the UK, but I hope to god that this woman can sue Travelodge for enough money to put the entire chain out of business for good. This appalling incident isn’t the fault of one lazy clerk; it’s the fault of a major hotel chain that can’t be arsed to train its employees to follow basic safety procedures, and that doesn’t give a flying rat’s ass about the fact that they got a guest sexually assaulted in her sleep. Handing the key to a guest’s room to someone who isn’t registered is absolutely insane, and to offer a woman £30 in compensation after she woke up with a predator on top of her because of their negligence is both a gross insult and clear evidence that Travelodge corporate culture sees sexual assault as no big deal. (For reference, a room at that specific location usually costs between £40 and £70 per night.) If you’re a woman, find a different hotel. No matter how cheap Travelodge may be, it’s not worth getting raped. bbc.com/news/articles/…

We’ve just seen a fox fleeing for its life with a load of hounds from the Cottesmore Hunt charging in the same direction and we’ve seen no attempts by the hunt to call them off. Blatant illegal fox hunting in front of our eyes. Help to stop fox hunting opsmokescreen.org

Following this outrageous case, I’ve signed this letter along with many other MPs asking the CEO of @TravelodgeUK for an urgent meeting.

Some people will never understand how much you can love a dog, and that's okay the dog knows

Their names were Holly and Jessica, and they both had lives that mattered.

It is time for @TravelodgeUK to answer for this

Hey @TravelodgeUK 🚨A Travelodge let someone into woman’s room to sexually assault her, then offer her £30 compensation & defend their actions!🚨 Outrageous. Review your security procedures. How can women stay safely in your hotels otherwise? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Utterly appalling from @TravelodgeUK. It needs to explain exactly what its security policies are - and fast. How can any woman feel safe in its hotel rooms if it can give out a spare key card so easily? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Women are at serious risk when staying at @TravelodgeUK. The hotel staff who gave a man a key to a woman's room at 3am were apparently following security procedures 'correctly' which beggars belief since: ❌She was checked in as a single woman. ❌They didn't phone her to check if he really was her boyfriend and welcome in her room. ❌They didn't accompany him to the room and knock. ❌They gave him a key card because he knew her name. After he let himself in and sexually assaulted her, Travelodge offered her a £30 refund. This is even more horrifying since it is not the first time this has happened. James Cox was convicted in 2025 of raping a woman in a Travelodge in Liverpool. You might think Travelodge would have instigated better security after such an incident, instead it seems to be aiding and abetting sex offenders. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A woman was accused of 'cop-shopping' by police because she'd been to 2 different police stations to report her ex-husband for stalking and threatening her. They told Kelly she needed to ‘cool off’ and to 'give him a break’. He stabbed her and burned her to death just days later. share.google/Iw2BLHMAeeLDOZ…

Woman was kidnapped, raped and murdered walking home. Five years later women gather to remember her. And the loudest voices in the replies are men saying “not all men.” This is why women are tired. Give it a rest, men. Let her rest. #SarahEverard

Remembering Sarah Everard today and sending love to her family and friends. #SarahEverard

@NiallHarbison Disgusted. So sorry

Today was one of the hardest days I’ve ever had saving dogs. Someone poisoned 10 of the street dogs I feed. It started last night… (1/10)

Bravo to these poor families. Amazing strength to keep fighting and challenging.

Please retweet to help Forrest find a home #SHEFFIELD #UK Available for adoption from Sheffield Council Pound✅ Details or apply for Forrest below 👇ineedahome.co.uk/.../13883-forr…… ☎️07817497995 This lovely boy was brought into kennels after being found roaming as a stray. Unfortunately he is not microchipped so we do not know his name or exact date of birth. The kennels have named him Forrest and aged him around 8 months old. Initially he was a little nervous but he has never shown any signs of aggression. He arrived at kennels in an emaciated state. Forrest needs all aspects of training including house training. We have seen no negative reactions from Forrest towards other dogs but he will need further socialisation as he is so young. Breed experience is essential for Forrest. Forrest is very playful and friendly – he is highly intelligent & will need an active home. #Malinois #GermanShepherd #adoptontshop #Rescuedogs #Leeds #Bradford @APDAWG1 @SueHayman1 @DefraGovUK @DannyVet @andreajenkyns @UKLabour @gsrescueelite
