Today Parliament was recalled to vote on whether the UK should join international partners in participating in air strikes to combat ISIL in Iraq.

Tracey was delighted to receive the League Against Cruel Sports President’s Politician of the Year 2014 Award this morning. Tracey is a keen campaigner on improved animal welfare standards, most recently campaigning against the Badger Cull, the banning of snares, banning the use of wild animals in circuses and the tackling of puppy trafficking and farming to name but a few.

Today Tracey welcomes the launch of Save the Children’s Read On. Get On.  – a new campaign being driven by a coalition of charities, language and literacy experts, teachers, and businesses to get every child reading well  at age 11, by 2025.

This week Tracey met the recently crowned World Champions in the Women’s Rugby World Cup, and learnt about plans to encourage more women and girls to follow in their footsteps.

Tracey has today joined Animal Defenders International (ADI), the organisation spearheading the campaign to end the use of wild animals in circuses in Britain, to back a new bill introduced today by former Labour Defra Minister Jim Fitzpatrick MP to ban such acts.
