Last week’s debate on driven grouse shooting was frustrating for many of us that want to see positive, progressive change in England's uplands.
Watch @oliviablakemp.bsky.social’s brutal takedown of driven grouse shooting in just 90 seconds from last weeks debate in Parliament.

🐦We're delighted to launch Liberals and Democrats for Nature and Climate — a new group working to strengthen liberal action on nature & climate.
It was great to hear from @pippaheylings.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk last night on how the Lib Dems can champion environmental action!

This is not Valencia, this is the town Tenbury Wells UK. There are very real consequences for all of us of ignoring 40 years of warnings from NASA & the world’s leading scientists. Reminder: as the planet heats, the atmosphere holds more moisture meaning rainfall intensity increases. #climatechange
