Rachel Reeves clears planning blockage amid ‘good relationship’ with developer Exclusive: Chancellor says 20,000 homes were being held up due to ‘some snails that are a protected species or something’

She's a nature loss denier -

First of all, 5mm isn't microscopic and you CAN see them.

Second of all, the fact that our Chancellor thinks she can't see these seems to mean she thinks they're not worthy of our consideration.

A hallmark of this government's terminal lack of imagination.

Just as corrupt as the Conservatives, and in my opinion even more reckless with nature and the environment.

Even if you don't care about snails, we as human beings rely on nature for our mental and physical health.

This is Labour taking an anti enviromment and anti public health stance for cash.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

The Swifts don't know (they're whizzing around over Africa now) but it's their big day @senedd.wales. I'm on BBC Radio #Wales in a few minutes talking about the petition to mandate Swift Bricks in new buildings, started by @juliabarrell.bsky.social

Calling on all East Glamorgan birders. Nothing in your diary this Saturday night? Fancy crossing the border into Gwent for this event?

This @gos-birds.bsky.social talk is about our local BTO / @webs-gsmp.bsky.social / @glamorganbirdclub.bsky.social Green Sandpiper project and its amazing findings.

A small flock of Swifts sweep across a clear blue sky, their slim bodies and crescent wings cutting sharply above the roof of a house. A beloved summer sight - and one at risk of disappearing if protections for nature are lost.

A small flock of Swifts sweep across a clear blue sky, their slim bodies and crescent wings cutting sharply above the roof of a house. A beloved summer sight - and one at risk of disappearing if protections for nature are lost.

The tree you climbed as a child. Gone. The Swifts over your town. Gone. The air you breathe. Polluted. The river. Unsafe.

This is the reality of deregulation.

Cutting protections would mean disaster for nature & our economy.

Welsh Government under fire for failing to implement gamebird regulations amidst heightened risk of bird flu The RSPB has, justifiably, grown tired of waiting for the Welsh Government to implement regulations on the release of millions of non-native gamebirds (Pheasants and Red-legged Partridges) and want…

@rspbcymru.bsky.social calls on Ministers to act on advice received from NRW 2 years ago (!) for proper controls & oversight of gamebird releases. They don't even know how many are released, other than 'millions'.

While I understand the BBC’s imperative to provide balance in stories, at times it can feel completely ludicrous. Data vs one person’s entirely anecdotal opinion isn’t balance.

Police hurt during Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom rally in London Some 25 arrests are made after

Last year 100,000 people marched across London in support of nature and BBC News didn’t cover it, leading to complaints to Ofcom about political bias. Today BBC News covered a similar size march on front pages and every channel demonstrating fully its political bias. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In what feels like the 100th story this week of how Wales is falling behind on environmental regulation and action to combat natural decline, the Welsh Government are dithering on regulation of gamebird release.

Millions of invasive birds are released into the Welsh countryside annually. Enough.
