But your Labour Government is about to decimate the protection of nature this week through your appalling Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Instead of being duped by developers, protect people and #nature. Drop Part 3 of the Bill.

[Labour's Environment Campaign - SERA @serauk]

£1bn for two new national forests! These forests can create green jobs & bring nature closer to communities. This allows focus on true ecological restoration- diverse habitats, thriving wildlife, and public access.

Our idiotic and incompetent government has just agreed to pay more than a million £ a day in support of the continued destruction of ancient forests to feed the Drax power plant

Pure insanity

Disappointingly little media attention being paid to this alarming new study. Instead, we're hearing about Bill Gates "tough truths" [read b.s.] downplaying the climate crisis.

Great to hear the fantastic @CraigBennett3 on Radio4
call out the appalling @RachelReevesMP
for her attack on #nature. Having environmentally illiterate CoEx will cost the country and @UKLabour dear. But it's not too late! https://t.co/lVlWTwLgEt

I’m sure people think I’m nuts when I frequently say the media has failed to adequately convey the magnitude of danger we face from the climate crisis.

Here is former Editor-In-Chief of @SkyNews, @JohnRyleyNews saying the same thing.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Some news: I'm presenting and co-writing a new short Radio 4 series, Untaxing.

It's about how tax affects our lives: from the Laffer Curve, to the Beatles, to Jaffa Cakes, and modern day avoidance.

1.45pm on Radio 4, every day next week, and on BBC Sounds as each episode airs.

"Due to.. releases in factories and automobiles every year of >6 billion tons of CO2.. our atmosphere may be getting warmer... it’s been calculated a few degrees rise in the Earth’s temperature would melt the polar ice caps". By 1965 the US Gov knew inaction would mean calamity.

@robhawkes I'd love to see some of your data vis magic applied to showing the damage sheep have done to our landscapes and wildlife, in Wales and across the UK.

The media were more responsible in 1958 than they are today.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

With the anti-green agenda gaining ground across the Atlantic and with the Trump wannabees in Europe more important than ever to keep going green and great to see @_greenfootball and the ledge that is Alastair McCoist taking a lead !! (Only other Alastairs call him that)

[Dr Simon Zisman @SimonZisman]

@TonyJuniper Look forward to reading it. Any chance you'll make it up to Scotland at all? Maybe Edinburgh Book Festival?
