The Countryside Alliance has spearheaded the calls for a centralised approach to licensing. It is right other orgs and politicians are backing this important campaign.

A ‘DVLA for guns’? Plymouth MP @LukePollard is backing a National Firearms Licensing Authority – a move towards centralised licensing that shooting organisations have long called for. Could a national system end the postcode lottery faced by certificate holders? ▶ Watch this week’s Fieldsports Britain: FieldsportsChannel.tv/fields… #FirearmsLicensing #FieldsportsNews #FieldsportsBritain

At this time when our rural communities feel under attack by a raft of ill-thought through & damaging government policies, I was delighted to support today's Campaign for the Countryside, organised by the @CAupdates, pushing for a much-needed #RuralReset. ruralreset.org

A very serious intervention from David Blunkett. It is time for Labour to rest its relationship with the countryside. Dropping the pointless and divisive trail hunting ban would be a good start. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

As Starmer desperately clings to power he’s using a ban on trail hunting as some red meat to his disaffected backbenchers. Sacrificing rural traditions and livelihoods for a few weeks longer as the least popular PM ever. Respond to the consultation now - it closes at midnight. countryside-alliance.org/tra…

🗞️A ban on trail hunting is “irrelevant to meeting the many pressing needs of the countryside” wrote The Times recently. People can see through this ban. It’s a distraction. The government should focus on delivering rural communities, not legislating against them.

The job of government is to improve people’s lives, not to behave like new puritans telling everyone what they can and cannot do — my speech in the @UKHouseofLords on the assault on rural communities – at London, England

Ratters provide a free, humane and effective service. Given the shocking rise in rodents as a result of the Birmingham bins crisis, the services of ratters would seem an ideal solution to a problem that is only going to get worse. eu1.hubs.ly/H0jdYWY0

'A lot of this could have been avoided if the treasury had just spoken to Defra and farmers in the first place.' External Affairs Director for Countryside Alliance, Mo Fisher, brands the Treasury's statistics on inheritance tax changes as 'very dubious'.
