UK Government has halted SFI applications, cutting off support for nature-friendly farming in England. Farmers need certainty, not funding that’s switched on & off. Pulling the rug from under them erodes trust, disrupts farming, and stalls critical progress on nature & climate.

An A* (or should that be a 9?) for the government for announcing Natural History GCSE. And full marks to Mary Colwell for making it happen! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Yay!! So the Govt *will* go ahead with #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. If we know & love nature, we’re far more likely to protect & restore it. Big shout-out to ⁦Mary Colwell⁩ for her vision🙏 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Whoahh! Look at the hail density and height of the hail that fell/accumulated south of Rania in Saudi Arabia today 👀

Plans to reform environmental regulations risk irreversible harm to nature. My amendments to the Planning Bill would prevent this. Safeguarding nature and building homes can go hand in hand - with an empowered, well-funded planning system. politicshome.com/opinion/articl…

We've published a report into the role of natural capital in the green economy 👇

We can't reverse England's wildlife decline without nature-friendly farming. That's why I'm backing the National Trust, Nature Friendly Farming Network, RSPB, The Wildlife Trusts, Green Alliance and National Farmers' Union in calling on the government to support investment in sustainable farming.

Disability support cuts will hit 700,000 families already in poverty - forcing more disabled people into destitution and driving up child poverty. The public showed what they think of the Government's approach at the polls last week. We must change course.

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill must not give developers a license to kill nature. We must remember that nature is the true foundation of all wealth in our country. My amendments will safeguard nature and deliver affordable, sustainable housing to our communities.

Expanding Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton is once again putting corporate greed before our environment. To offset the carbon impact we'd have to plant a forest twice the size of Greater London over the next three years. It's time to call this out for what it is - wishful thinking.

The developer-led model has failed North East Hertfordshire. I've launched a local petition pushing for a planning system that puts people and nature before profit. I will present this to Parliament before the Planning & Infrastructure Bill vote.

Ripping power from communities to appease developers will build resentment - not affordable homes. Developers will continue to prioritise profits over public need. We need a left alternative: democratic, sustainable development with councils in the driver's seat.

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is bad for people and nature. It enables luxury homes no one can afford while weakening protections for wildlife. I've backed key amendments to fix this - to improve protections for nature and ensure we get the affordable housing that we need.

A brick. That’s it. One hollow brick to help save a species... and apparently that’s just too woke for Westminster. With 1.5m new homes planned by 2030 there’s a massive opportunity to also create new homes for wildlife. If Labour caves on this, they’ll have abandoned common

Swifts: Government rejects Swift brick amendment to planning bill. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill committee voted against the move today, after minister stated that while the government supported its aims, it didn’t think legislating was the correct course.

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill offers plenty of deregulatory carrot for developers – but no stick. I’m proposing: • Penalties for developers who sit on land after gaining planning permission. • Powers for councils to block developers that repeatedly fail to build.

The continuing discharge of sewage into the#RiverVer continues to pollute its winterbourne headwaters. Our MP waiting two months and no response from the EA either!

Exciting times! Working with Aquawatch, we have a pair of water quality monitors in the River Darwen, measuring the size of the pollution caused by the M6 runoff. We want to see if simple analysis of turbidity & conductivity can pick up the pollution caused by the motorway runoff

In the @Guardian, I argue it’s time to take water companies into public ownership. For our health, our rivers, and the future of our environment — let’s end the sewage scandal for good. 🔗theguardian.com/business/2025/… #TakeBackOurWater #TogetherWeWin

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU everyone for the absolute tidal wave of kindness and support I've had over the last 12 hours. I'm pleased to say all is well at this end. I had my treatment almost a year ago to the day, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound and everything is now
