The professional employed by David Cameron’s fox hunt yesterday became the first person to be charged by police with illegally killing foxes under Labour’s 2004 law.

Heythrop Hunt’s professional huntsman Julian Barnfield, 44, faces three charges.
Tory leader Mr Cameron has ridden with the hunt, in the heartland of his constituency, at least six times and has in the past described Labour’s ban as “bonkers”.
