We can’t survive without nature. Proud to stand with @ChrisGPackham and @NatalieBen to launch our Bill giving nature the legal protections it deserves. The @TheGreenParty will keep fighting for nature, because when we protect nature, we protect everything we depend on.

Labour is eco ignorant. Reeves brags that she got round the rules on protecting a rare snail. "It’s a bad look for a Labour politician, let alone the chancellor, to boast that green rules can be bent for chums." Comment @10DowningStreet @labourpress ?? https://t.co/e7viP1NUzk

Editorial: Rachel Reeves’s drive to speed up development is beginning to treat wildlife and the environment as expendable. Voters want homes built, but not at any cost

NO. 10 BLOCKS REPORT WARNING OF THREATS TO NATIONAL SECURITY FROM CLIMATE AND ECOSYSTEM COLLAPSE This is a minefield for Keir as he seeks to avoid exposure for failure by the Greens, and ridicule from Reform. The government is paralysed, and should go. https://t.co/bSyehSGgmN
