Contacted @vango this week because all the shock cord in our tent poles perished after being used once. Very disappointed to find out they don’t care. Won’t be buying a Vango product again
One photo shows a single, solitary ancient sycamore tree destroyed in an act of eco vandalism that has rightly caused outrage.
The other photo shows one of 108 ancient, native woodlands destroyed to make way for HS2.
Can we get as angry about this too?
.@RishiSunak was like the Wizarrd of Oz today - just said as much on @SkyPoliticsHub with @SophyRidgeSky & @JustineGreening (who talks a lot of sense).
My overwhelming impression is that nothing really happened today - the pushing back of the fossil fuel car ban will undermine confidence in the UK, but won’t slow down the transition to electric cars - because the industry are on it. This was really just a pose. The gas boiler thing was totally something and nothing. And the rest was all made up - there was no policy to have seven bins, tax meat or flying.
In classic Sunak style, he denied he was doing exactly what he was - making a short term political move at the expense of the long term. Fortunately he doesn’t have a long term in No.10.
But seeking to polarise public opinion around a false narrative (we can only have green or cheap) to give himself some toehold in the election, that’s beyond contempt.

The third paragraph of Liz Truss’s rather moving 2016 speech is often omitted. It reads:
“But in six years I might choose to bin all this and lead a Conservative Party which abandons my daughters’ freedom of movement (and yours), and announces an unprecedented #AttackOnNature”.
I'm backing @WildlifeTrusts call for nature's decline to stop now! More ambitious species recovery targets need to be added into the new Environment Act - join me! 👇🌍🌳✊
