Andrea Leadsom MP to stand down as Secretary of State for DEFRA

The Issue

Keep The Ban Campaign Call upon Andrea Leadsom MP To stand down as Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Secretary of State Andrea Leadsom who was appointed last Thursday in Theresa May’s first cabinet, claimed in a tweet in December 2014 “What a sight – Merry Christmas to the Grafton Hunt!”.

Andrea Leadsom is well known for her opposition to fox hunting ban. During her own leadership bid for the conservative party Andrea Leadsom stated she would repeal the hunting 2004 as soon as practicable.  

Keep The Ban believes this to be appalling coming from a person that’s role is specifically to look after wildlife in this country. She has already proven her incompetence considering her views on the nation’s forests.
We demand that she does the decent thing and resign her position.
