These are the people who blocked the swift brick amendment last night. 102 Labour Peers thanks to the rather extreme 3 line whip which just goes to show how much #Labour do NOT want to help nature let alone swifts. Normally a 3 line whip is used for fairly extreme amendments.

The UK has 4 million people using Food Banks, while the richest 150 billionaires are not paying £120bn in tax.
One is causing the other.

At what point can we hear the sound of prison doors slamming and the keys being thrown away?

Atmospheric CO2 usually peaks around May each year. Yet the most recent weekly average at Mauna Loa has already set a record: The highest it’s been for the last 800,000 years, at 430ppm.

Almost 90% of flights from Luton are taken for leisure - in other words British tourists taking their money out of the country to spend abroad. Expanding Luton is not good for UK growth & certainly not good for nature & the environment. Why doesn’t Labour understand that?
This government has just approved the expansion of Luton airport. But, as new NEF analysis shows, airport expansion isn't a magic bullet for economic growth.
In fact it's bad news for our domestic tourism industry as more holidaymakers will leave from Luton than arrive.

Good Morning!
Unbelievable night of tornadoes across the U.S - so many, I wouldn't know where to begin. The damage looks severe, and unfortunately, there are likely casualties.

This new study found a flaw in most econometric analyses of future damages from climate change. They used a different modelling approach that incorporates global economic interconnectedness, and found when you do this, projected damages are much greater than originally estimated.

Hard to describe the feeling of satisfaction you get from being a river guardian seeing a sand martin nesting hole you campaigned to be installed being used for the first time.
This morning I witnessed a sand Martin couple moving into their new build, affordable nest in the heart of Barking, & I couldn’t be more proud!
Thanks to @ToureenGroup & @ArteliaUK for taking the time to effort to install these holes during the works on the wall- it really has made a difference for local wildlife.
