Without changes the Planning Bill could rip up protections for habitats including internationally important chalk streams🚨 Vague promises on compensation won't do - we need strong nature protections Read more via Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust & Helena Horton 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…

The analysis by Whitehall officials provides no data or research to back up the government’s central argument that it is environmental legislation that holds up building. theguardian.com/environment/20…

With communities across the country already deprived of nature, we can’t afford further loss of protections🚨 If Government doesn’t fix the the Planning Bill it must be rejected by Parliament 📢 We can't allow this application to demolish wildlife👇 express.co.uk/news/politics/…

The Planning & Infrastructure Bill drives a coach & horses through nature protection laws - yet Govt’s own Impact Assessment shows nature is *not* a block to development. These plans are also deeply unpopular. Time for Ministers to think again RSPB The Wildlife Trusts 👏

Before the Election Labour promised to restore nature. Less than a year in &they are leading a charge against the natural world. Please ask your MP to remove Part 3 of the Bill and to tell the Chancellor to end her attack on nature wtru.st/fix-the-bill action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/171483/ac…

.⁦⁦Richard Benwell⁩ is right - exempting small sites means almost three-quarters of developments face no requirement to compensate for nature loss - let alone enhance it. Govt pledges to restore nature aren’t worth the paper they were written on 👇 bbc.com/news/articles/…

Come on Rachel Reeves Keir Starmer the power is in your hands to make a difference. Do you really want to look back on your career in years to come and realise you left the natural environment in a far worse state because of short-term, short-sighted economics?

Our latest research shows spot-on flea treatments on dogs are released into water when dogs swim even 28 days after treatment - in contrast to the label which suggests dogs can safely swim 48 h after treatment. newscientist.com/article/248265…

though I have been Organically gardening sadly despite all my efforts over four decades there are fewer birds and fewer larger insects visiting, my butterfly bushes seldom have many if any when they used to be inundated, the dawn chorus has become a solo

I urge the Government to back my Planning & Infrastructure Bill amendments. We were promised a win-win for nature and growth - we got a developer’s charter that will destroy nature. Let’s change course and deliver for workers and wildlife. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Chris Hinchliff MP (@chinchliffmp) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I presented my petition to Parliament urging changes to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. We are custodians of our natural environment, it is our national heritage. It’s not too late for the Government to accept my proposals. We must not let developers destroy nature.

"Take away the funding for nature contracts, and farmers will be pushed back to intensive methods - forced to undo years of progress." We join industry leaders in writing to Daniel Zeichner ahead of potential #farmbudget cuts in the #spendingreview. 👇 news.sky.com/story/spending…

Pesticides from agriculture & pet flea treatments can kill invertebrates in rivers & streams, leaving fish & birds with little to eat. Without the tiny creatures who eat algae, blooms worsen, contributing to the deaths of even more river wildlife. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Frankly outrageous from the govt. This new, and I think unprecedented, ban on civil servants speaking in public will damage public debate, politics, policy making and the civil service itself. What are they thinking? instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/govern…

It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.
