Shadow environment secretary Mary Creagh told a conference fringe meeting in Manchester that her position on badger culling had changed from a year ago.

"I have certainly moved on from this last year when I was in frame of considering that we would have to continue with the cull," she said at the NFU-Food and Drink Federation event.
"The more I have looked at the science, the less effective I think this cull is going to be. I am really worried about it," she said.
