The best news of the weekend was yet another surge in the number of people signing the e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting. As Hen Harrier Day started on Saturday 6th, the petition stood at 73,242.
Today, it has just cruised past 78,000.
We have until 20th September 2016 to get it to 100,000 signatures to secure a parliamentary debate in Westminster.
