"Key workers" have held a protest with a difference at a Northumberland organic farm in the hope of catching the eye of the incoming Prime Minister.
But those protesting were not nurses, teachers, nor journalists; they were "nature's key workers." Insects, including flies and bees, held a tiny protest standing up for their rights armed with miniature placards reading "Save us, don't spray us!" and "There is no Planet B" at Bays Leap farm in Heddon-on-the-Wall.
The aim of the protest is to get the new Prime Minister, either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak, to take action to save nature in their first 100 days in Government. It runs in conjunction with a change.org petition launched ahead of Organic September on behalf of giving wildlife such as earthworms, ladybirds and bees a voice for the first time.
