🚨 ACTIVISTS DISRUPT RACHEL REEVES’ SPEECH AT LABOUR CONFERENCE 🚨

Rachel Reeves pushes growth at all costs 📈—but at what price? Labour is handing billions to Drax 🌳🔥—who just posted record profits 💰—while backing Heathrow expansion ✈️ & cutting winter fuel payments ❄️.

[Brigit Strawbridge @B_Strawbridge]

Awful news, but not unexpected.

Fossil fuel subsidies now more than $A2 trillion just in G7 countries https://t.co/wt7D4tQMqi

@GodfreyBentos No, it's now 2025 and the need to cut carbon emissions is even more urgent. #bbcpm

Weasel words from @Bill_Esterson - no wonder @UKLabour are falling in polls.
@labourlewis is correct. @Ed_Miliband, say 'NO' to Rosebank/Jackdaw consent. To do otherwise would further weaken Labour's green credentials.

We should not allow the EU to overturn the UK’s decision to ban sandeel fishing in the UK’s portion of the North Sea and Scottish waters.
And we should ban all EU industrial 'super trawlers' from UK Marine Protected Areas.

@bbcpaddy @BBCRadio4 Well done @CarolineLucas for trashing @TheSun's anti-nature bilge - nature is sacrificed in planning decisions far more often than is development, sadly.
And building a third runway at Heathrow is irresponsible stupidity.

Lurking behind the good news story that a humpback whale was rescued after becoming trapped in a rope at an 'organic' salmon farm off the Isle of Skye is the fact that locating cages along migration routes for cetaceans is a death trap. It's time to remove all salmon farms now!

I am incredibly heartened by how many of you have liked and shared Team Bat/Team Newt

Thank goodness so many people care about nature.

I've put an enquiry in about t-shirts, caps, badges etc.

Please keep sharing - under every post by Reeves, Starmer et al.

@bbcnickrobinson @RachelReevesMP @BBCSounds @JustinOnWeb A rational person would only want growth that is genuinely sustainable & improves quality of life, NOT @RachelReevesMP's ruinous 'growth at all costs'.
Reeves is delusional believing 'sustainable fuel' will be plentiful any time soon, if ever.

@BBCr4today @JustinOnWeb @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Bats are ecologically important; more should be done to protect them, including greatly reducing light pollution.

@RachelReevesMP's ignorant anti-bat (and anti-newt) rhetoric is utterly contemptible.

@BBCr4today @JustinOnWeb Disingenuous greenwashing from @RachelReevesMP.
Sustainable aviation fuels, carbon capture & storage, etc are unproven & unlikely to be viable at scale.
Planning system can be simplified without giving developers free reign to trash wildlife.

"But never mind, let’s melt human life and the natural world down into money."
Pretty much sums up the govt position on the economy and the environment. All Hail the Great God Growth! Whatever the feck it means.

@BBCr4today @Emmabarnett After 14 years of Tory misrule, hoped @UKLabour would be an improvement, but @RachelReevesMP seems intent on trashing our environment & our quality of life.
Expanding airports is irresponsible madness.And bats & newts matter!

[Richard Benwell @RSBenwell]

Chancellor @RachelReevesMP, millions of people are worried about #wildlife, even if some developers want to wash their hands of it.

The best way to stop people worrying about chalk streams, dormice, wildflower meadows and, yes, bats isn't to deregulate. It's to #RestoreNatureNow

And we wonder why we're one of the most nature depleted countries on the planet. Even before she sweeps any remaining protections aside we've compromised nature to the point of destruction.

Utterly contemptible for @RachelReevesMP to propose planning reforms which will allow developers to "stop worrying about the bats and newts"!
Her empty-headed pursuit of growth will trash our environment.

@SteveReedMP @DefraGovUK Mr. Reed, as Environment Secretary how can you possibly praise @RachelReevesMP after she made the contemptible statement that developers should "stop worrying about the bats and the newts"?
My support for @Keir_Starmer & @UKLabour is rapidly evaporating!

NEW: Labour MP Barry Gardiner tells @politicshome he thinks Chancellor Rachel Reeves is "an environmental illiterate"

Multiple other Labour figures – including London mayor Sadiq Khan – have come out against the govt's plans for a third runway at Heathrow
