A ban on foie gras and fur imports is now likely to be dropped from the legislation, after a number of concerns raised by cabinet ministers.

Some - including Brexit opportunities minister Jacob Rees Mogg - have raised concerns about personal choice.

Defence secretary Ben Wallace also raised concerns about banning the bear fur used by the military for the hats worn by Guardsmen.

The UK government has been claiming for many years now that they would be looking to ban the importation of these cruel products. I want to encourage our leaders to show they are more than rich, out of touch toffs who want to be eating foie gras while wearing fur and going hunting.

Anything we can do to stop cruelty is a step forward. Get it banned!
