This week @simonforstroud.bsky.social & 20 other MPs made a valiant effort to strengthen Community Right to Buy powers to help communities own rivers, woods & moors

Ministers didn't accept the amendments but sought to reassure that CRtB will apply to environmental assets 1/

Let communities own rivers, woods & moors!

Excellent to see @simonforstroud.bsky.social has tabled amendments 107 & 108 to the Devolution Bill to strengthen Community Right to Buy laws in this way.

We need more Labour MPs to support this - email yours:

Shooting birds is not a "sport"; it's a cruel and outdated pastime that has no place in a modern, compassionate society.

This is so deeply disappointing. I really despair. A dark day for the UK’s precious wildlife and habitats. We need to be urgently stepping up protections, not recklessly discarding them… 🦇 🌳

We attended the annual UK Wildlife Crime Enforcers conference this week & met some fantastic people working hard for wildlife. We also had a few interesting chats about potential new projects/partners...plans are already underway with some of them. We'll tell you more when we can!

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

REVEALED: Willow trees on Dartmoor common owned by Prince William deliberately poisoned with herbicide

This is an outrageous act of sabotage. Dartmoor’s commons are virtually treeless already, due to centuries of overgrazing by sheep. The culprit must be found:

While the large-scale projects are intended to last 20-30 years, the government could pull the plug at any time with a year’s notice.

There are some people who seem to see the recovery of ecosystems in a deforested waste as a personal affront. It's about power, and different landscapes reflect the different ways in which power is distributed - or concentrated.

You’ve seen the signs: ‘Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted’. They lie. In the UK ‘trespass’ is a civil offence, not a criminal one. You cannot face prosecution simply for being on someone’s land, off a designated Right of Way, open access land, or land where bylaws permit access, without permission.

Looks like the long-awaited Environmental Improvement Plan will finally be published on Mon 1st Dec.

The EIP sets out what Govt will do to meet Environment Act targets. The last EIP in 2023 was subject to legal challenge as it failed to show how these targets would be met. Hope this one's better!

...whether they can afford it or not. Some very easily can and should. Cop out not taxing the super rich and spreading the wealth/spending it on public services. Austerity for the lower earners continues, whilst the rich get richer. We need to break this cycle.
