Heather Humphreys was a disaster as minister in charge of heritage and nature. She didn't meet nature groups and seemed to have no interest in her job expect for when it came to weaking wildlife laws to allow more burning and hedge-cutting.

Heather Humphreys was ‘unsympathetic’ to fears over change to wildlife law, say activists

Campaigners had ‘no access for discussion’ on ‘damaging’ Bill extending hedgerow-cutting season

Great news from Moldova, where the party of President Maia Sandu has won an overall majority🇷🇴🇪🇺

Pro-EU parties got about two-thirds of votes despite rampant Kremlin interference in the election, which ranged from bribery and disinformation to bomb threats at polling stations.

Well done Moldova👏🎆🥂

The Pro-European PAS party has secured 51 seats, an absolute majority in Moldova’s parliament.

A good result and a slap in the face for Putin.

Don’t let the EU tear down nature protection ❌

The European Commission is quietly trying to dismantle the laws that safeguard what we cherish most: our nature.

They think we wouldn’t notice or care. But we do.

Tell them to keep their #HandsOffNature 👉 handsoffnature.eu

Europe is already flooded with oversized, dangerous SUVs. Allowing more U.S. pick-ups and mega-SUVs will make our streets deadlier, worsen emissions, and undermine efforts for safer, sustainable mobility.

This harms people and the planet!

This is the opposite of what we need!

ETSC: Mutual recognition deal with U.S. will cost lives on Europe’s roads

By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the United States, the European Union has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice…
