Even if you’re a Reform leaning net zero sceptic, surely you’re not a clean air sceptic. 30k people die each year and the economic cost is £27 billion at least.

🚨 BREAKING: Govt is proposing bottom trawling bans in English offshore marine protected areas at #UNOC2025 🌊 Many would be FULL bans across the WHOLE site!
If implemented this could protect 30,000km² of seabed 🪸That's DOUBLE the size of all England’s national parks put together! 🧵🔽
