We desperately need some convictions for these crimes - not just those killing the birds, but those who are paying them to do it.
The shooting estates refuse to clean up their act. It's time to make them.

FFS indeed!
“One key dispute is over whether another planning or nature bill is required to change rules over protected species and measures to make it easier to build large infrastructure projects, but the changes may be made via secondary legislation.”

FFS. 🤦‍♂️

Failures at South East Water owned water treatment centre led to tens of thousands of people in Tunbridge Wells being cut off from the supply.

In 2024, regulator warned SEW over bacteria and pesticide contamination risks ... nothing happened.

Does any regulator serve the people?

Labour's blinkered 'Build baby build’ agenda could speed up nature decline to the point of no return, conservation charities warn.

Devastating to watch this happening, whilst knowing how close to the brink so many species are, already.

In today's Budget, the Chancellor spoke about building the economy “brick by brick” but left out the very foundation that underpins it all: nature.

The same Government that promised to restore our natural world appears instead to have wiped it from their agenda.

All the positive (and believable!) noises that Labour were making before the election and they turn out to be worse for the environment than the Tories in their desperation for growth. Beyond disappointed, and not just for making me also agree with Michael Gove!

🌿 “You can't buy back biodiversity.” We agree with #CANBill supporter, Neil Duncan-Jordan MP, at the Planning Bill debate. Nature isn't a nice to have, it’s all we have. Restoring nature must be at the centre of the Government's plans.
