Why continue this self harm?

PFAS not being phased out because they’re harmful
But companies being sued & EU legislation.
Who says taking #polluters to court doesn’t work! & well done EU!
Leading chemicals companies quietly phasing out production of “forever chemicals” as risk of litigation grows & EU imposes restrictions.

Ask your MSP to act for Scotland's wildlife.
MSPs will debate one of the most important nature bills in a generation on the 19th of November.
Take action and make sure they back a strong Bill that protects wildlife, not weakens it.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

"With waiting lists falling in Scotland but rising in England, this shows the benefit of taking crucial decisions here in Scotland – rather than leaving them to an out of touch Westminster government."
