HUGE NEWS - The Labour Party has promised to pass an historic Right To Roam Act!

We're delighted to hear this and look forward to engaging with Labour on the details.

I urge Dartmoor National Park to appeal #Dartmoor wild camping judgement, but where on earth is the Govt on this?

I have previously set out The Labour Party ambition for nature & to extend protections & access, with more to come. #righttoroam is a generational responsibility we take seriously.

My job The Office for Students (OfS) is up for grabs as I move to a new role. If you're interested in youth or student engagement, and ensuring that student voices are at the heart of the regulator's work, this is a fabulous opportunity: ofs.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External….
