I think they may just have more pressing matters to deal with to start with. I mean, we're well within the "Cones Hotline" category of moribund government desperation here. To the extent of having another Dangerous Dogs Act and that was one of the daftest pieces of poorly thought out improvised legislation ever.

Last throws of a dying government.

I don't recall that they ever could be.

Sorry but the Bill is very far from being talked out. There are 60-plus Amendments yet to be considered, but the most crucial of these which were intended to improve the legislation were defeated in the COWH September 12th.
The Government say this is a 2019 Manifesto commitment they will be honouring - Col 946 of the full debate prior to the first division (Hansard Entry on the page above)
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
(Lord Benyon) (Con)
In summary, the Government are confident in the approach and drafting of the Bill before us. For that reason, I will not be supporting Amendment 1, nor any of the amendments tabled. I hope I can persuade the noble Earl, Lord Caithness, to withdraw this amendment.
No. But that’s no reason to be grateful for what has been enacted under successive Conservative Governments.

I don't trust ANY politician. There's nothing honourable about any of them.

It's ever more important that you contact your local prospective parliamentary candidates ahead of a general election announcement to find out which ones genuinely listen to you , irrespective of which party they represent.

Agree to a point. The local Labour guy admits to enjoying eating pheasant, our old Harrovian Tory MP appears to look down on his constituents as his inferiors and as far as I'm concerned quite the worst MP of any party that we have had representing us in living memory!
I disagree - i have met several who really do care - but are inundated every day with so much rubbish
I have also met with some absolute plonkers

Ms. Cooper is mine, don't honestly think her response to this would be anymore to my taste than any other response she's ever given me.
She was shipped up here an GIVEN the placement because they know they could put a donkey in a labour tie and it'd get voted in round here.

Regrettably the same applies to the Isle of Wight, put a blue rosette on the biggest waste of space that god has created and he will get elected. Fortunately the Labour opponent who you can have a sensible conversation with is in with a chance next time.
Absolutely not. I’m relatively sure a very lefty labour government would all but do for driven shooting.
The tories are the best we could hope for, especially with Sunak at the helm, who seems pretty pro.

Aside from the local knob head who needs evicting whatever the GE outcome I can't but help thinking that Trophy Hunting Bill was actually a Tory manifesto pledge?
Yes, but I think it was a Carrie Symonds/Goldsmith fiasco. Sunak was the MP for Richmond and spoke in favour of grouse shooting, he’s best case scenario IMO.

If those halfwits get in , Trophies will be the last of our worries
We now live on a country where you can’t catch a rabbit with your dog , can you imagine where that ends ?
