Andrea Leadsom, Tory MP for South Northamptonshire, is one of two females tipped to become our next Prime Minister. Ms Leadsom is a committed Christian who claims she carries out her duties as an MP with God always in mind. She says she became a Christian when her son was born, and she feels God is guiding her hand in all she does. Perhaps she missed Ecclesiastes 3:19 “For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all his vanity. Isaiah 1:11 “What to Me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats.
Ms Leadsom’s favourite hunt footing. Shocking racist verbals from one of the pros. Hereford hunt rearing fox cubs to train hounds by throwing them alive into a kennel full of hounds.
A sneaky backdoor attempt to make minor changes to the hunting Act (which would have legalised red coat hunting through the backdoor) failed last July because of unprecedented opposition from anti hunt MPs across the board. Andrea’s own Tory Party has a growing number of MPs who are opposed to this cruel form of entertainment. If she is elected to lead the Party and she does hold a vote on repeal, she may find she has huge opposition from town and country alike. The UK may be a country in turmoil because of poor Tory leadership, Brexit and the Labour Party coup, but we are still a nation of animal lovers.

Leadsom has shown how hugely out of touch and easily manipulated she is. Let's hope Theresa May is not such an idiot-remember Nicola Sturgeon said she and fellow SNP members had never received so much correspondence as when people were begging her to intervene and save the hunting act. Politicians need to realise that the vast majority of decent British people abhor the horror of hunting.

I'm afraid Theresa May has also promised to hold a vote. It was in the Tory Manifesto although not in the Queen's Speech, which suggests to me the Tory front bench are well aware how much support there is to keep the Act intact. It beggars belief that these two woman can be so ignorant and so easily led; so ready and willing to give in to the rich bloodsport lobby, that they would condemn a harmless part of our wild nature to such an horrific death. The emails those people against hunting have had as replies from both women, are almost identical. Obviously some office junior is just filling envelopes with standard mass produced letters. This is an important issue for the uk and both May and Leadsom have a duty to prove hunting is 'good animal welfare' as they are claiming. The onus is on them to produce the research.

This is incredible. Thank you for highlighting it. Tories were fighting for years to bring it back again. Hope they do no t succeed
