Norfolk CC ignored warnings, wasted £56M of public funds, and failed to plan a viable Plan B for the Western Link.

Blaming bats & Natural England is deflection. We demand accountability & resignations. Norfolk deserves better—enough is enough.

🌿 Climate and Nature Bill's co-sponsor, @labourlewis.bsky.social:

“I don't want to see growth that comes at the cost of my daughter and her generation's future. You can not have growth on a dead planet—MPs need to understand that. Climate, biodiversity and growth are interlinked.” #CANBill

This is extraordinary! The Government says it will expel MPs if they vote for the Climate & Nature Bill for the vital action to protect our environment—backed by thousands of scientists, NGOs, councils and businesses.

It should be a vote of conscience. What are they thinking??!

Great news! Norfolk County Council has withdrawn the Norwich Western Link planning application! 🎉 David Pett says, “A victory for our environment & a greener Norfolk. We urge the council to focus on sustainable solutions.” 🌿 #StopWensumLink #ProtectNature #SustainableFuture

Labour came to power promising to clean up England's rivers.
Now @SteveReedMP is burning taxpayer money taking river guardians @WildFishCons to court, because "cleaning up individual rivers devastated by pollution is administratively unworkable."
WTAF?

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once:

- Things are going to get worse, no matter what

- The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today

This ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees.

Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside.

DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use.

Protect pollinators vital to nature's recovery & our food security.

Abysmal news for the River Wye—already close to ecological death from intensive poultry production—& other catchments.
Labour came to power promising to heal Britain’s river network; today the Env Sec singles out chicken producers & promises laxer regulation.

Delighted to see that my MP @laylamoran.bsky.social is one of the 108 MPs who not only supports the CAN bill but has also pledged to vote for it 🥳🥳🥳

Thanks Layla! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I give the Government 2 cheers for this. If we are to protect pollinators, neonics need to be banned. But it's concerning that they may still be authorised for this year. A ban should start now

@norfolkcc.bsky.social must restore public trust. We call for an independent inquiry to uncover missteps in the Norwich Western Link project, ensure accountability, and prevent future failures. "An inquiry is crucial for transparency," says campaigner David Pett. #StopWensumLink #Accountability

Would you lobby government to make this a wind turbines painting requirement please....

Merry Christmas & HNY to too

So if our demand for cheap food results in farmers having to create #megafarms to survive, what is the answer?

Cranswick plans to create a chicken & pig #megafarm that will spread across 2 villages. Residents fear pollution.

Something has to give.
