With @Keir_Starmer pledging to unite Britain&build back a nation’s & trust in government brick by brick I hope @UKLabour show the nature leadership we so badly need starting with the easiest act: mandating swift bricks. In Labour’s hands is swifts’ existence.
An important closing address from Chris. Thank you to everyone who turned out and supported. Today we sent one clear message to all politicians - RESTORE NATURE NOW!!!

‘Rare birds shouldn’t be rare birds, and they shouldn’t just be in nature reserves.’ That sums up the work of the amazing @royhdennis - lovely tribute from @ChrisGPackham@BBCSpringwatch
This year our swift population will reduce by an estimated TEN THOUSAND breeding birds &/ the population will lose its ability to replenish itself by up to 15,000 chicks. The govt is ignoring #swifts plight despite a simple, urgent & essential solution backed by all experts.
1 year ago TODAY my swift brick petition closed with 110k signatures leading to a proposal supported by experts.
WHY no action?
'Apparently @RishiSunak doesn’t like the idea&has blocked it.' - @ZacGoldsmith
Our PM doesn't want to save our icons of summer from extinction.
Look at this #Tories @michaelgove & @RishiSunak: 🚨Fury as Rishi Sunak ‘blocks efforts’ to help save swifts from extinction 🚨 I, ALL NATURE LOVING VOTERS, @ZacGoldsmith &conservation experts aren’t giving up on swifts https://t.co/UH15wAws0U
Over 150,000 voters have seen this post @RishiSunak@michaelgove - in case you're wondering, I won't be giving up. Us Brits are not prepared to sit back & watch iconic species become nationally extinct when there's a simple brick that can secure their essential nesting habitat.
How does this continue happen, and apparently nobody seems to know anything about it?
How can it be stopped from happening it’s clearly too easy to get away with it?

It shouldn’t be this difficult! Why are there so many barriers to supporting wildlife and nature, especially in what used to be their patch m, one we have ousted them from??? #swiftbricks
On my way with @ZacGoldsmith to a government meeting at the Home Office. Just a normal Monday. Actually my 66th Monday asking the government to mandate #swift bricks.
