The 2018 Saddleworth fire was made worse by a lack of controlled burning, says Thirsk and Malton MP @kevinhollinrake. Managed moors are firebreaks; unmanaged ones are kindling.

Former Prime Minister @RishiSunak tells @ChrisGPackham and co. that a ban on grouse shooting will hurt ordinary, working people the most. Can Packham look gamekeepers in the eyes and tell them their livelihoods are "insignificant"?

In just 3 months, the Peak District suffered over 30 wildfires, mostly on land that is not managed using controlled burning. Landowners including @Natures_Voice and @nationaltrust need to put human lives and the health of our moorlands first.
