The General Election passes into history, even as the talks continue to resolve the final result and the construction of a coalition Government.
For Animals Count we can take great encouragement from our participation in the election process. No one had ever done this before in the UK and no other party has ever dared [...]

Tomorrow, of course, is polling day, the day when we can use the power of our vote to make a real and lasting difference.
We know that the vote that we have is a precious gift handed down to us by our ancestors who strove and fought so valiantly to ensure that the vote can be [...]

Just as couple of days to go!
We’ve had a terrific campaign with better, more extensive media coverage than we could have hope for and lots of words and emails of encouragement from people not only with the constituency of Islington South & Finsbury, but from across the country from people who are following our campaign [...]

We’re entering the final few days now of campaigning, so we’re really pushing to get our name out there as much as possible in the run-up to polling day.

We had a really successful weekend campaigning, starting off with a speech that I gave at the World Day for Animals in Laboratories march and rally in central London.  We were very pleased to have the opportunity to address the crowd on the important issue of animal experimentation, as we recognise that the science shows [...]

As we know, it’s the second of the Party’s leaders’ television debates this evening, and whilst every possible detail of what was said and how it was said and what they wore and how they stood will be scrutinised in infinitesimal detail, and instant polls will be analysed for every minute trend, we can already [...]

We held a really positive “Hustings” event yesterday (Monday 19 April 2010) at the “Ask a Climate Change Question” event organised by Greenpeace at City University, Islington, London EC1.  I was able to take part as one of the panellists along with the current MP for the constituency, Emily Thornberry (Labour), and Bridget Fox (Lib [...]
