I accused naturephobe Rishi Sunak of blocking a popular, cheap, easy measure to reverse the horrifying decline of swifts in the UK (numbers collapsed by 60% between 1995 & 2020). 

Govt has denied this saying: “This is wrong. We are working hard with the sector to promote the…

This is a pretty simple and straightforward point that undermines completely the childish narrative of the student protestors.

If Rishi Sunak's callous action—it's not even inaction any more—in sentencing our unique, precious and iconic British #swifts to ultimate death, doesn't make you furious, nothing will.

I repeat: the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has blocked the simplest biodiversity measure *ever* that without, leaves the most epic birds - swifts- without ANY guaranteed nesting habitat in Britain.

Good to catch up with my friend ⁦Zac Goldsmith⁩ at ⁦Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office⁩ discussing #nature #oceans #SmallIslandDevelopingStates

Campaigners for a change in the rules to require all new buildings to include swift boxes have been puzzled by the govt’s failure to act.

The richest, most privileged students in the world don keffiyeh’s to role play as exotic arabs & centre themselves in an imagined drama where they are oppressed people fighting a revolution, knowing that a professional police force will safely disperse them when playtime is over

1 year ago TODAY my swift brick petition closed with 110k signatures leading to a proposal supported by experts.

Our PM doesn't want to save our icons of summer from extinction.

Hamas must be p*ssing themselves at the utter depravity - and stupidity - of the west
This is surely the clearest possible illustration of the term ‘useful idiot’

Fantastic outcome but still incomprehensible that it ever happened. I do feel the people in Westminster Council who sacked her for saying sthg inoffensive &true should be named & shamed. These anonymous people have ruined lives &the only price they’ve paid is with taxpayers money
