This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version.

This is the UK security assessment that the government tried to bury: ecosystem collapse is a national security threat.

Good to see mainstream coverage of “deplaytion” - the loss and decline of neighbourhood playgrounds, and of a tolerance of children’s neighbourhood play.
It’s critical that this issue is taken as seriously - in terms of children’s mental health - as social media.
Thanks @anooshc.bsky.social.

Excellent thread on a complex issue, well worth a read. Reform of the law is certainly needed.
1/15 The Labour Party are coming for the Green Party on drug policy. And they are doing it by sensationalising and mispresenting the policy. This is politics driven by focus group, that aims to smear and misinform at best - or lie and disinform at worst.
