🐟🌲💧- Our environment is under attack!
The government is getting rid of the biodiversity net gain promises they previously made. That means precious habitats like our chalk streams in Hampshire are all under threat.
This is not acceptable. We have to protect our environment.

thanks Danny 🙏🏻

this 💯. We need to have a national conversation about what this is going to mean. Landscapes will need to adapt and hold a lot more water for starters

The new APPG will provide a powerful voice in Parliament 💪

A huge thank you to all the MPs, Peers & partners who joined us to make this such an energising start

It's now clear that the gov't are NOT proposing to repeal the Protected Landscapes duty 🙌

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

thank you John. I actually had to say a sudden goodbye to my dog of 13 years last friday. So sad 💔
