How about remove the Zero Rate VAT loophole on greenfield property speculators and developers? @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @UKLabour

Last week's drought status. What kind of a mess have we become that as a national we're sitting around keeping our fingers crossed, hoping beyond hope that it's going to rain? Is anyone in charge?!

This is the scene at RoseHill today where the construction site borders the SSI of RedHouse Plantation. Mature trees cut down and water gushing into a ditch during a drought/ hosepipe ban. @MyDoncaster @MillerHomesUK please can you explain what is going on. @DonnyFreePress

For those for whom it is behind a paywall, the Government is considering another new Bill which would sweep away environmental concerns altogether to let them build infrastructure and new towns

The myth or is that the fantasy of biodiversity net gain exposed as nothing but another charade. https://t.co/yXKDWnnTCx

You voted to remove environmental protections and put our ancient woodlands and chalk streams at risk. You voted to remove essential funding for farmers and voted to remove life saving benefits from disabled people. You have nothing to celebrate.

Brilliant news that @WildJustice_org is taking the government to court over the Planning & Infrastructure Bill 👏 Via an email from them to supporters: “This week we lodged an application for judicial review at the High Court against this proposed legislation” Nature:

Here to help, @Keir_Starmer: You said you would ‘restore and protect our natural world’ but we see planning protections being weakened and funding for nature-friendly farming threatened. 1/6 species in the UK risk extinction. Time to act!

We have a full nest! 🎉 Chick number 3 hatched at around 6:45am today — and the Cathedral is now home to three young peregrines. 🐥🐥🐥 Watch them live: https://t.co/2IjDY4IqMB #PeregrineWatch #StAlbansWildlife @StAlbansCath

“This is not the answer to the housing crisis.” The RSPB Youth Council issue a passionate plea for a fundamental rethink on the Planning & Infrastructure Bill. Their powerful letter 👇 https://t.co/EjGA2GVS6d

The evidence of HS2 corruption keeps on coming, but MPs just ignore it  "A damning tribunal decision & renewed scrutiny of escalating costs of the UK’s high speed rail project, as delivery dates seem less robust than ever." https://t.co/KW6YYePP9s

Did you know that England's chalk streams are one of the rarest habitats on Earth? Despite this many are now highly threatened due to pollution and must be protected. Learn more about this special habitat 👇 https://t.co/sYelP8V0n8

70% of UK land is farmed. If we want nature to recover, this is where it happens. Farmers like @herdyshepherd1 are already doing it – farming with wildlife, not against it. But without proper funding, we risk losing it all. @RachelReevesMP: increase funding, grow our future.

When the penny finally drops at just how much beauty & wonder we’re exterminating to serve a psychopathic economic system, who & what will be left to hear it?

Read this and weep. And, for those who think it's all down to wealthy people in the Chilterns objecting, not a NIMBY mentioned. Indeed everything critics have voiced over the decades (yes, it's that long now) has manifested itself. #hs2 is a scandal! https://t.co/QnEcnig3cm
