This man was, until very recently, the environment secretary.

Cash to trash. Awful.

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.

If this small modular reactor is the “Nuclear equivalent of an Ikea chair” there’ll be poor instructions, parts missing, screws loose and it’ll become wobbly in a few weeks. Maybe not the best analogy? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Wylfa nuclear power plant plans go ahead, creating Anglesey jobs
Three small modular reactors are confirmed for the site, with the potential for up to eight.

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."

The Government can keep shouting. It's talking to itself.

The YIMBY-NIMBY divide exists only in Westminster's echo chamber.

Meanwhile, the public have made themselves clear. They want homes that work with nature, and leaders who listen.

For months, ministers have been pushing a false choice between nature and growth.

Now, new research shows just how out of touch they are.

With data from More In Common, it's time to set the record straight. 👇

We've been down on the beach today picking up firework debris. It's odd, isn't it, that you can be fined £250 for dropping litter but somehow it's OK to launch rockets containing plastic casings into the sky.

A pointless but utterly destructive decoration. Why do our human festivities have to result in fatalities in other biota?

What an insane article
Do I really have to write a ranty letter to the editor to say how disappointed I am that @financialtimes.com ran this piece, and that it came out of NESTA, with all the reasons road building is not the answer? Also, the motorway distinction is just plain weird. SIGH. www.ft.com/content/0cb6...
