UK economy is stagnant. One of the main causes is high inflation, the driving force of which is increases in food prices. Extreme weather is one aspect pushing these increases. A stable climate isn't a nice to have for the economy. It's a fundamental foundation

Win for nature-friendly farming! UK Government’s one-year extension of some nature-friendly farming agreements in England gives breathing space for those making space for wildlife on farms. But it’s only a stop-gap, we need a long-term plan for their future 🧵 👇

Growing up, the main bus in my town was every 10 minutes and always packed. I didn't worry about timetables I just left the house and knew it would be there. Now it's every half hour and completely deserted. This is no coincidence. Fund buses properly and people will use them.

The Chancellor says she fixed a problem caused by “some snails or something”. Comments like this pit nature against growth – it’s the wrong target. Here the system has worked: protecting one of UK’s rarest species while allowing 20,000 homes to proceed. https://t.co/CnPWPqow9e

Happy #DamRemovalDay! 🎉 This celebration of free-flowing rivers is a great reminder of the issues that dams, weirs, and sluices can cause for fish. Wild brown trout can be cut off from spawning areas, and those trapped upstream are vulnerable to disease and pollution 🧵 1/4

It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! https://t.co/ST6xrjYvvr
