The appropriately named 'Bulldozer Bill' (otherwise known as the Retained EU Law Bill). It's a massive threat to our health, wellbeing and natural environment. 👇

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

All we want for Christmas is… the UK Government to scrap the Bulldozer Bill! This Bill threatens over a thousand laws that protect our wildlife and special wild places💔 https://t.co/3wTCPkN7TR (1/4)

This splendid bunch need help to buy a native woodland, *pretty urgently* so the local community can continue to use it. So the wildlife continues to thrive in it, and so it doesn't get carved up for timber. Spread the word. And give if you are able. 👇https://t.co/CnNzKwx2ZZ

"Sewage discharged from Oxford works days after Thames Water apology."

So just days after the minister gave water industry bosses yet another finger wagging ticking off, I'm sure an intimidating experience, the WCs do what exactly?

Err? Nothing. Ho hum.

Despite passing of the Heather and Grass Burning Regulations, after 1,500+ reports of burning on peat, just one 'formal warning' has been issued

After nurses and ambulance workers confirm and undertake their strikes, there's word junior doctors could be next.

@DrAmirKhanGP explains why.

Good morning!

...from #Montreal #COP15

[Dom Higgins @DomCHiggins]

A brief🧵on #COP15, the nature one, which ended with a new Global Biodiversity Framework, putting into international law, a target to protect 30% of land and sea for nature by 2030. AND YET - the very week before, our own Government, who were saying the right things at COP15...

[Dom Higgins @DomCHiggins]

...nothing to put decades of species decline into reverse on protected sites, and speedy planting of conifer trees, which do pip all for natural habitats and don't store carbon in the long term.😖In a nutshell (case?), blow a massive trumpet to inflate a global agreement....

[Our Bright Future @OBrightFuture]

It’s official – more time spent in nature = better mental wellbeing. Our Bright Future enabled almost 130,000 young people to boost their mental health, empowering them to make positive changes for the future. 💪

[Craig Bennett @CraigBennett3]

"If the #COP15 talks collapse, or only produce a mealy-mouthed deal, the world faces accelerating biodiversity loss. And that is something that investors, business leaders and everyone else should shriek about -very loudly"

Good piece by @gilliantett @FT
