Good to see one mainstream media outlet finally admitting that the attack on planning is driven by @hmtreasury and by @LabourGrowth, rather than by anybody who has any clue what's at stake. It's time these people were told a sustainable future matters. https://t.co/7x02QXcWvF

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. But soon there may be no turtle doves left. Their numbers have declined by 99% since the 1960s. That’s why I’m backing the @Natures_Voice's calls for proper, sustained funding for nature-friendly farming.

I’m totally convinced that high value/margin grazing can take place round highly biodiverse landscapes We are too often encouraged/forced to make bad ecological choices or presented with false choices

The grassland around them doesn’t look much now, but in summer is immense So the combo is incredible for nature

Biodiversity Net Gain isn’t perfect, yet – but it works. It is delivering real habitats, real finance, and real accountability. Exempting small sites doesn’t “reduce burden” – it breaks the market. With outcomes of the government BNG consultation imminent, the message from

🚨UK Gov could let developers of “small” sites avoid nature recovery rules🚨 Up to 97% of planning applications could be exempt, putting green spaces and wildlife at risk. We could lose wild spaces 3x the size of Birmingham every year. We must build with nature, not against it.

Right. So when it's Steve Reed's local green spaces, it's "No build baby!". What a #NIMBY!!
We’re so lucky to have so many green spaces in Streatham and Croydon North. Definitely worth visiting, especially with all the Christmas activities happening on the weekends! 🎄

In Feb @SteveReedMP looked me in the eye and promised me the Govt "was committed to #BiodiversityNetGain" Now, we understand, he is contemplating gutting it If this happens, why should we trust any future promises @UKLabour make on #nature? https://t.co/T4SYTashr7

#ThankYou @CHinchliffMP for your ongoing advocacy for #nature in @UKParliament It is much appreciated
Flowing Chalk Streams have been turned into shallow dribbles. They're irreplaceable habitats. Once gone, they’re gone. Companies over-abstracted our rivers. Our inheritance vandalised for money. Our planning system must protect the nature people love over short-term profit.

Housewash - when someone pretends that building more houses either in general or in a specific location will help the homeless, when the houses are not for the homeless!

It’s often said that it takes anything from 6 months to 60 years for the water to percolate through the Chalk Aquifer’s to bubble up in springs🧐Over abstraction is devastating this unique habitat 🆘 #SaveOurStreams

Biodiversity Net Gain is one of the key mechanisms through which the Environment Act is currently being delivered in practice. Lawyers have raised concerns about how any regressive changes to BNG would sit alongside: 🌿 statutory nature targets 🌿 international biodiversity
