The government are failing our wildlife. Badgers killed for TB but not tested for TB. Biosecurity a joke. Monitoring basically non existant. #stopthecull
@MaryCreagh_ This Labour government is still killing badgers against the science and agaisnt your OWN MANIFESTO
And the minister for nature does exactly what for nature? Anything?

Keir Starmer's govt is still under fire #thismorning for the unnecessary harm to our environment, #nature & #wildlife which the Planning & Infrastructure Bill they are steamrollering through Parliament will cause ...
The Planning & Infrastructure Bill lets developers trash irreplaceable habitats by paying a fee. This "nature for sale" plan is ecologically disastrous. We’re in a biodiversity crisis.
Tell the govt to scrap the bill now: https://t.co/kCzVQPriji
Volunteers' Week!
This week we’re celebrating the amazing people who make Northamptonshire Badger Group possible. Thank you to every sett-checker, rescue responder, and campaigner who gives their time to protect our badgers. #VolunteersWeek#ThankYou
@Natures_Voice@herdyshepherd1@RachelReevesMP This is urgent & absolutely essential.
At the coast nature is being pushed off the cliff by agriculture and pesticides.
Near me arable field margins completely removed and insecticides sprayed immediately next to the ditch, a regression of good practice seems currently widespread
@IanDenton12 @UKLabour@SteveReedMP Arable field marigns here completely removed, insecticides sprayed right up to the edge of ditches

The Planning & Infrastructure Bill isn't just about🦡badgers, but ...
“[This is] a significant change in the law, from a power to interfere with badger setts and badgers to a power to kill badgers”😱- Gideon Amos MP

WTF? If Govt can’t even agree to this, which costs them zero & with no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close

Decades of stagnation from the ineptitude of more Governments than you can count on your fingers is being blamed on bats and newts , again . We cannot allow this new bill to wreak havoc on environmental protections .
Top work @CraigBennett3@WildlifeTrusts for taking a stand .
@MaryCreagh_ The OEP states “in our considered view, the bill would have the effect of reducing the level of environmental protection provided for by existing environmental law. As drafted, the provisions are a regression.”
Nature is under threat & the minister for nature doesn't have a clue
@SteveReedMP The OEP states “in our considered view, the bill would have the effect of reducing the level of environmental protection provided for by existing environmental law. As drafted, the provisions are a regression.
@MaryCreagh_ But you are removing environmental protections: The OEP states “in our considered view, the bill would have the effect of reducing the level of environmental protection provided for by existing environmental law. As drafted, the provisions are a regression.”
What dont you get?
One of the biggest scandals in modern UK politics: the badger cull.
230,000 killed. It hasn’t worked. It won’t work. TB spreads cow to cow — not from badgers.
This is pointless slaughter.

Thank you.🤗
Story here. Protected spaces risk being lost under the new planning bill, says Office for Environmental Protection. Labour using Brexit to weaken environmental protections. Will @MaryCreagh_ describe Dame Glenys Stacey's analysis as "deeply misleading" ?https://t.co/wKvZ6JIIzm
Over 230,000 badgers killed! Trapped. Left to die in pain. And for what? NOTHING. No proof it works. Just cruelty. We’re DONE watching this happen.
