This is exactly what we’ve been saying for months and have the evidence to back it up. Unlike the government who have zero evidence or justification for their approach. They are basically destroying what’s left of our wildlife to line the pockets of the big housing companies.

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #PlanningBill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇

I haven’t seen much from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on this bill. It is hugely important that we protect and enhance nature whilst building homes, which is more than possible if done right. We need to change the narrative around home building and Zack is in a good position to do this.

This man was, until very recently, the environment secretary. Cash to trash. Awful.

Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down. Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections. Instead, MPs have bought into the false 'nature vs growth' narrative.

If this small modular reactor is the “Nuclear equivalent of an Ikea chair” there’ll be poor instructions, parts missing, screws loose and it’ll become wobbly in a few weeks. Maybe not the best analogy? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era. What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."

The Government can keep shouting. It's talking to itself. The YIMBY-NIMBY divide exists only in Westminster's echo chamber. Meanwhile, the public have made themselves clear. They want homes that work with nature, and leaders who listen.

For months, ministers have been pushing a false choice between nature and growth. Now, new research shows just how out of touch they are. With data from More In Common, it's time to set the record straight. 👇

We've been down on the beach today picking up firework debris. It's odd, isn't it, that you can be fined £250 for dropping litter but somehow it's OK to launch rockets containing plastic casings into the sky.

If you still have friends on Twitter, maybe this will convince them to junk it. The Muskrat openly bankrolling Tommy Ten-Names in the UK courts brings Lord Rothermere and the BUF to mind, only Rothermere wasn't the richest man in the world. Fascism always goes hand-in-hand with obscene wealth.

Tens of millions of essentially factory farmed poultry are dumped into the countryside each year. They boost the population of mesopredators like foxes, reducing ground nesting bird populations. They are an obvious avian flue hazard. They eat declining reptiles. Turn out they're also a health hazard

Please can we just do something. I emailed Yvette Cooper to express my anger at the UKs complicity in this. And now Starmer is increasing police powers to detain protesters. Genuinely scared for the future of democracy.

Appalled to hear this government describe our beleaguered nature in this way. Nature is a necessity, not a nuisance. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
