People care about wildlife.

Ooo where?

And doesnt resolve the problem. Ending second home ownershipwould gp some way towards.

Coal mines didnt close for the environment, they closed to attack trade unions and working class communities.

a bunch of bats are flying in the night sky ALT: a bunch of bats are flying in the night sky

Oh didnt you hear, its not affordability or land banking etc its the newts, bats and hedgehogs that are at fault.

Why wasn't this report published before the P&IBill end back to the Commons?

Is there still an opportunity? Or has it gone?

What is it with rich men and rocket toys.
They could use their money to resolve lots of things on earth.

Also as someone who has worked in Housing for 38 years, its not wildlife that hold up house building but gov policies on how social housing and 'affordable'housing financially stack up, its land banking by big landlords/developers and decision making delays by politicians local and national.

The government has badly let wildlife down. But we will continue to work with local authorities to help halt swift decline one swift brick at a time. @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social

Totally depressing and so unnecessary. Arrogant and uncaring. They could have been the best of humanity building needed housing and integrating wildlife or the worst of humanity pitting wildlife against people in housing need. Really pandering to big builders. They made their choice.

It was good to hear Ed Miliband making an explicit case on #Today this morning that reducing inequality should be a core objective of economic policy.

He's much the most persuasive advocate of the government's economic strategy, & of the philosophical case for things like the workers' rights bill.

#FirstBirdOfMyDay a single pigeon. No other birds. Ive just come back from a week away and all the bird feeders are still full. Whats going on?

Do they catch up he reds?

Pine martins 😃how lucky

#FirstBirdOfMyDay a couple of crows flying into the dreary fog. No other birds around.

@pennymordaunt.bsky.social should keep that big sword she carried
at the coronation.

Joking aside its appalling that our politicians have to keep dealing with threats and attacks.

Hope she is ok.

If you think you an waltz into government and reverse 14 yes of Tory cuts in year one you are delusional.
It was always @labouruk.bsky.social to end the child benefit cap.

What was the tweet

They are too middle class. Like many of the NGOs

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The thing is @georgemonbiot.bsky.social the swift network mobilised very quickly over a swift brick amendment. Last week we asked for your support. I didnt see it and no mention of swifts in your report.
Re 7.5m membership rspb and WTs many will be dupicates. Ive also many WT petitions against P&IB

I love collared doves

#FirstBirdOfMyDay new family baby called Robyn. Im sure the spelling still counts. First feathered bird of my day is a Plymouth seagull. I know its not a species 🙃

13% of Green - even worse. I dont trust polls

I cant believe there are 12% of labour and 10% of Green voters who support it.

Congratulations

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

THEIR COUNCILLORS BLOCK SOLAR FARMS AND CLEAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE. THEIR LEADER IS AGAINST NUCLEAR ENERGY. WHAT'S SO GREEN ABOUT THE GREEN PARTY?

Labour is delivering on making Britain a clean energy superpower.

The Green Party opposes it.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?
