UK climate and nature bill dropped after deal with Labour backbenchers Ministers avoid internal party row by promising potential rebels they will have input into environmental legislation

Does the government think that climate and nature breakdown will somehow get easier to deal with if they just avoid doing it for a bit longer?

Are they just hoping to leave it all to the next government?

If not this, then what? What's their plan?

A deeply disappointing government response to @wildjustice.bsky.social’s petition on banning driven grouse shooting, that even cites bullshit stats from the shooting industry

Please sign the petition, let’s get it to 100k and force a proper debate: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
