Today is the first reading of @SarahDykeLD’s 10 minute rule bill to #EndPeatSales🙌

There is wide support for this from the horticultural industry, MPs, & the public🪴

It's time the Government gets behind this crucial piece of legislation📜

📢 We are thrilled to announce the name of the new-to-science deep-sea coral: the Golden Labyrinth (Thouarella aureolabyrinthea)🪸

Our Director @siankowen talks about the competition, which highlights how much more we have to discover about the #DeepSea 🌊

On #BonfireNight and other days through the year, we do need to pursue a different way,
or silent way, to celebrate

Today in the Lords ...
Cttee Day 3 in the Water Bill. I have 3 amendments, all about Water Company ownership and administration.
I'll still be grumbling about @UKLabour not even considering #PublicOwnership. At the very least, it would have been a bargaining chip in negotiations.

Presenting the definitive poo-llution protest poem, by Sue Moon @SueMoondeBeauv, read today at the March for Clean Water. "Take your children to our leaders, ask them what they plan to do." @XRUK_Actions @AquiferChalk @xr_GPsAndElders @MarchforWater @lindanewbery #rivers

[MP For Nature @MPforNature]

Poems are power, poems are protest! Great to speak about Chalk Stream Poet Laureates @MarchforWater today, alongside @WindrushWasp @LauraReineke @MattStaniek @davejvwallace #rivers #chalkstreams @XRLondon Poem to follow!

[Simon Collins @SirGeogy]

Catastrophic news for England’s precious chalk streams‼️DEFRA abandons chalk stream recovery plan‼️We need an holistic approach not only addressing raw sewage overflows but all pressures eg phosphorus discharge and water abstraction etc to fix our rivers https://t.co/gm5pylPOB0

@jamesgilbertmr She looks so calm - do looks deceive? Beautiful.

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

Chancellor didn’t mention climate or nature once in her budget speech. Unforgivable. This is a critical moment. Our entire economy rests on the health of our environment & this was a chance to reset to deliver a liveable future. #Budget2024

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

It’s the job of govt to make public transport better and cheaper. Chancellor has abdicated this responsibility

[Emma Smart @smartyfish]

Illegal fox hunting
Under the guise of ‘trail hunting’
Blatant, deliberate, vile wildlife abuse across the country now

What are @UKLabour waiting for?
#BanTrailHunting

@SarahDykeLD will you be there?

[MP For Nature @MPforNature]

Wed may be budget day but our survival depends more on nature, so pls urge your MP to attend @EllieChowns debate on COP 29 and int. climate finance. Will PM commit to attend COP? Will gov commit to new and additional climate finance, not just part of existing overseas aid?
