🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray

I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future.

Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

It's estimated in the UK alone we need to invest £1bn+ per year to achieve necessary progress in nature, climate and water. Who pays? 🤔
Green Finance may hold the answer. New episode out today - fascinating listen right at the cutting edge of what might move the needle.

Great to see so much positive reaction to our new episode - out today - all about Green Finance. It's going to be a massive growth area and it opens the possibility of a "new economy" - one that works with nature, not against it. Have a listen and get informed:

Green finance - if it’s driving more growth how do we ensure it’s sustainable and fair? Hear from #Triodos UK CEO on the latest Planet Possible - out now! bit.ly/PP_greenfinance #SustainableGrowth #GreenFinance #NewEpisode #PlanetPossible

Can sustainable finance - making nature more investable - be the funding engine to solve the planet's environmental issues?

This bill is absolutely vital and it is critical that it includes nature AND climate. Any last-minute attempts to water it down would be fundamentally catastrophic

Hold fast everyone involved and the country will thank you for it
