Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down.
Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections.
Instead, MPs have bought into the false 'nature vs growth' narrative.

Within the Oxenham Arms in the village of South Zeal, Devon is
The ‘Roman Pillar' propping up the roof in the restaurant at the rear of the pub.
In the next room is an enormous Menhir built into the fabric of the wall too. One pub - two standing stones.

The Government has tabled 67 last-minute amendments to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill.‼️
Rushed through with little scrutiny, it’s a shambolic way to reform the planning system.
It creates confusion, sidelines science and leaves nature dangerously exposed.

When our album Plumb was on the #mercuryprize list in 2012, we were only allocated two seats at the ceremony. Additional seats cost £400+VAT iirc so, just to have Kev and Andrew, our actual band members, at the table with us would have cost more than the entire recording budget for the album.

An… er… "interesting" choice to do this on a Friday.
Private schools will be on holidays by then; but state schools won't be.
Chances of there being a crowd even approaching last year's? Between none and zero, I'd say!

Will they never learn? Reorganisation of NHS structures and management rarely delivers expected benefits or savings, but instead caused ‘redisorganisation’, as @kieranwalshe.bsky.social David Hunter I wrote about for @bmj.com in 2001…. www.bmj.com/content/323/...
Sir Keir Starmer’s plan to overhaul the NHS has been thrown into chaos after no money has been set aside to cover the costs of making thousands of redundancies at ICBs www.thetimes.com/article/14b7...
Starmer’s NHS reforms thrown into chaos by ‘£1bn layoff bill’
Patients could be put at risk as the one-off cost of redundancies, estimated at between £600 million and £1 billion, puts staff and services in limbo

Of course sex is not a spectrum.
In humans sex is binary & immutable. Two sexes, female & male, 2 gametes & 2 body plans. Secondary sex characteristics are on a spectrum within sex.
Discussion between a philosopher & an anthropologist.
Would have been useful to have a developmental biologist.
