Make no mistake, this is a Govt taking power&decision making away from people

And these shambolic amendments to the #PlanningBill, tabled last minute, build on months of lies from @RachelReevesMP pathetically scapegoating nature for a struggling economy

We need the same… so polluters pay not the pollutees!! And.. more to the point, there’s an incentive NOT to do it!!

In Parliament with housing activists calling to kick developer cash out of politics.

Developers profit from high prices for low quality and donate to buy influence.

We should listen to those living the housing crisis instead.

Join me on Rewilding the World in conversation with Craig Bennett, chief executive of the iconic Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. Under Craig’s leadership, the Wildlife Trusts have become one of the most important forces for ambitious nature recovery in Britain.

Out now wherever you get your podcasts.

Environmental activist Erin Brockovich has launched a national campaign and crowdsourced map to track the explosive growth of AI data centers across the U.S. She aims to empower local communities facing the massive environmental and infrastructural footprints of these facilities.

Whilst millions have been enjoying nature over the long weekend, corporate lobbyists have spent it trying to undermine the processes that protect nature for everyone. Good to see the below myth buster - time to call out the networks working & lying overtime to make England greyer

[Craig Bennett @CraigBennett3]

I think @NaturalEngland is just trying to implement the package of wildlife protection laws which have been adopted by successive parliaments, to be honest.

Would you rather our public bodies ignore the law and the will of parliament?

...so that you are aware of the considerable misinformation and disinformation, @ClaireCoutinho which has been put out there on this topic. Thanks.

Natural England is out of control.

Nuclear is the most land dense clean energy using up to 3000 times LESS land than solar and wind.

Nuclear is much better for habitats and the environment and yet our environment regs are blocking our ability to build it.

Madness.

Great piece from @GeorgeMonbiot

A vivid reminder as to why GDP is an inadequate metric for monitoring the performance of societies.

[Tony Juniper @TonyJuniper]

The restoration of Golden Eagle to England is a very exciting prospect. @NaturalEngland we look forward to working with colleagues @ForestryEngland to support good outcomes for the birds, for Nature more widely & for farming.

I’m backing the Curlew Action Plan.

Species decline and extinctions aren’t inevitable.

We have the evidence, the solutions and the plan. Now we need action.

I’ll be supporting @CurlewAction in the months ahead to help bring this iconic bird back from the brink.

#MorganMcSweeney's advice on #Nature to the
#PrimeMinister @10DowningStreet
has been catastrophically wrong as well

...framing it as the enemy, rather than the foundation of a flourishing economy

Time for a fresh start @10DowningStreet on #Nature pls!

@TonyJuniper Many thanks Tony!

Very good to see Craig’s outstanding contributions recognised in this way. A richly deserved honour.

I'll be on @BBCr4today at 6.50am this morning to talk about #hedgehogs and #housing...

[Craig Bennett @CraigBennett3]

@Rosewood_Farm @BBCNews @AlexForsythBBC @oxfordfarming Just, "Why now?"

(The timing is interesting, politically)

@AlexForsythBBC was absolutely right to say pressure has been building on the back benches, but I suspect getting this out and announced before Christmas, and before @oxfordfarming confs (not at them) was important

[Craig Bennett @CraigBennett3]

Just been watching @BBCNews on "Why now?"

I might be wrong, @AlexForsythBBC but I think it's mostly to do with a new Secretary of State being seen to have "delivered" something for farmers before @oxfordfarming conferences in early Jan

Just a guess...
