Of 22 sites being held on a waiting list, before designation, 14 were at risk from development. That's 64% of potential SSSI's, and the wildlife living within them, at risk of being lost.

Last year, the then BBC director general explicitly ordered the Corporation to pander to Reform voters. An extraordinary instance of the formal adoption of institutional bias. This has now firmly set in.

UK signs deal to rejoin EU's Erasmus student exchange program More than 100,000 students are expected to benefit in the scheme's first year alone, according to the British government

🥳 More on the good news yesterday that the UK and EU had signed a deal to re-enter Erasmus+.

✅ A huge win for our youngsters, universities and our position as a world leading powerhouse of research.

I seesaw between, on good days, feeling we're making real progress towards a more mature, harmonious relationship with the natural world in Ireland, and, on bad days, that we're getting absolutely nowhere.

Seeing stuff like this just makes me despair.

For Keir Starmer to talk of national resilience and ignore nature is absurd | Letters Letters: Responding to an article by the PM, Caroline Lucas says he must be clearer about climate risks, Molly Scott Cato says we must reverse Brexit and Dr Victor Ajuwon applauds Labour’s directness....

Extraordinary that nowhere in an article on resilience did PM find space to include the growing threat posed to UK security by the dramatic decline in the health of nature around the world - especially since his own intelligence chiefs have recently spelt it out for him in no uncertain terms 👇

Perfect front page.

Richard Tice tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims A property company owned by the Reform UK deputy leader failed to pay £91,000 in tax on dividends, according to the Sunday Times.

Odd how the minor administrative errors always seem to produce the same results.

The Iran war is exposing the huge risks in our food system No matter where you get your food from, a good chunk of your diet is ultimately reliant on fossil fuels. We already need to change this to tackle climate change, but the Iran war and resulting oil sho...

From fertiliser to diesel to pesticides to the plastic packaging that the food came in — it is estimated that 15 per cent of all fossil fuels go into producing, processing, transporting and storing food.

In a sense, you are eating fossils fuels.

Nearly 1 in 6 UK species are threatened with extinction.

We've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s.

We have 73 million fewer birds than in the 1970s - a decline of almost a third.

And yet some politicians still just see wildlife as a blocker to progress.

Their buyer’s remorse is pathetic & meaningless. The continuing promotion & prominence of inexplicably self-confident idiots, aka ‘Brexiters’, will undermine our national interest for generations.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

Your frequent reminder that Farage wants to frack the UK - in multiple ways - and that doing so won’t make a blind bit of difference to energy bills

It would, however, make us more dependent on volatile fossil fuels, make the climate crisis worse & industrialise the countryside

Don’t vote Reform

Ed Miliband hold firm! North sea oil and gas drilling won’t help anyone other than Nigel Farage | Zoe Williams It’s worrying to watch Labour entertain Reform’s fantasies about fossil fuels. Only renewables will bring lower bills and higher energy security, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

I mean this is just the dumbest possible moment to come up with this line, when he has visibly stood up to US aggression and kept us out a war she would have weekly joined.

Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK should not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.

Reform cold calling public in bid to find ‘paper’ candidates for local elections Guardian journalist among those to get surprise request, though Farage denies party are ‘begging’ people to stand

Surely this is as bad as so-called ‘family voting’ they got so worked up about in Gorton and Denton. Charlatans, the lot of them #reformuk www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Whatever this bullshit poll ‘exclusively’ reveals, I can guarantee that:

A) it does not show voters abandoning net zero, and

B) Drilling for more oil & gas in declining North Sea reserves will make NET ZERO difference to bills

UK looks to relax planning rules for factory farms after industry lobbying Exclusive: documents chronicle years-long campaign to make it easier to build intensive livestock units

Just what we don't need. Already, our rivers are overloaded with both human and livestock waste, leading in many cases to #rivercide. Now the government, responding as always to lobbyists, wants to make it worse. Then it wonders why it loses public support. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Say hello to the UK’s most successful growth industry: organised waste crime | George Monbiot Thanks to a sustained ideological assault on regulation, our country has been turned into a literal dump, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions.
