Hurray! Some good news for bees at last. Our new government has followed the science, and refused the application by sugar beet farmers to use banned neonicotinoid pesticides.

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

In a year which saw the lowest butterfly counts ever this is disgusting . . . this is the work of @NFUtweets . . . @UKLabour @SteveReedMP and @DefraGovUK must reject this madness #ButterflyEmergency

[Butterfly Conservation 🦋 @savebutterflies]

We need to act urgently so that the already low populations of butterflies do not face yet another challenge in their recovery.

Sign our letter to the Government to ensure neonicotinoids are gone from our countryside for good. ✍️👇

Ban the sale of Artificial Grass: a toxic unrecyclable biodiversity desert exacerbating climate change, flooding and urban heat islands

I've just signed this, and would urge everybody to do so. We don't need to spray poisons in our streets and parks. Pls RT https://t.co/LCP0dM9ucA #GoPesticideFree @PAN_UK

[Alex Ballinger MP @AlexBallingerMP]

Delighted to see us moving quickly on this - the amount of sewage released into the River Stour in the last year was shameful.

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

Labour are ending the use of bee killing chemicals in farming, as promised - fab news. One teaspoon of Neonics can kill 1.25 billion bees! An end to the Badger cull next pls & proper enforcement of the Fox hunting ban… it's a bit like Xmas…:) https://t.co/U0kV9uAQrF

[Chris Stark @StarkClimate]

I have some news…

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

This is massive

Supreme Court rules WCs can sued for nuisance or trespass for dumping sewage even if “There has been no negligence or deliberate misconduct”, by the WC

That opens the way for 1,000s of claims by fishing clubs, swimmers, riparian owners against WCs. WOW just WOW!

[Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership @WarksRoadSafety]

Drivers, please follow these simple steps when passing a horse on the road:

Slow down to a maximum of 10mph and be ready to stop

Be patient – don’t sound your horn or rev your engine

Pass the horse wide and slow if safe to do so, allowing at least 2 metres if possible

[Hugo Tagholm @HugoSAS]

What on earth are people thinking to catch sand-eels to feed to pigs & ‘factory-farmed’ salmon? Stealing the food that puffins, whales, fish & marine life depends on. Environmental vandalism.

‘Huge disappointment’ as UK delays bottle deposit plan and excludes glass.

We live in an age where government commitments are becoming meaningless. Widely distant delivery dates, delays & easy u-turns make policymakers unaccountable. https://t.co/q95wMyuH0m

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

We should fight back against this.

The game is being run in the interests of the few not the many.

[Room 9 Media @Room9Media]

We've recently collaborated with South Gloucestershire Council to create three new eye-catching banners specifically designed for secondary school students.
These focus on the issue of mobile phone distractions, and they are now available to all.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

What an utterly brilliant way to present the 2023 sewage dumping data. Just enter you postcode. 👋👋👋

Deserving of an award me thinks.
