The government are failing our wildlife. Badgers killed for TB but not tested for TB. Biosecurity a joke. Monitoring basically non existant. #stopthecull

Keir Starmer's govt is still under fire #thismorning for the unnecessary harm to our environment, #nature & #wildlife which the Planning & Infrastructure Bill they are steamrollering through Parliament will cause ...

But you are removing environmental protections: The OEP states “in our considered view, the bill would have the effect of reducing the level of environmental protection provided for by existing environmental law. As drafted, the provisions are a regression.”
What dont you get?

The Planning & Infrastructure Bill lets developers trash irreplaceable habitats by paying a fee. This "nature for sale" plan is ecologically disastrous. We’re in a biodiversity crisis.
Tell the govt to scrap the bill now: protectthewild.org.uk/planni…

The Planning & Infrastructure Bill isn't just about🦡badgers, but ...
“[This is] a significant change in the law, from a power to interfere with badger setts and badgers to a power to kill badgers”😱- Gideon Amos MP

The governments Planning & Infrastructure Bill lets developers destroy vital habitats—like ancient woodlands—by paying a "Nature Restoration Levy."
This isn’t conservation. It’s a licence to kill nature.

WTF? If Govt can’t even agree to this, which costs them zero & with no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close

Decades of stagnation from the ineptitude of more Governments than you can count on your fingers is being blamed on bats and newts , again . We cannot allow this new bill to wreak havoc on environmental protections .
Top work @CraigBennett3 @WildlifeTrusts for taking a stand .

UK Government promised voters they would “protect nature” and “ensure…new towns and housebuilding include nature at their heart”. So why are new planning changes weakening environmental protections for developments? 😕🧵 (1/5)

One of the biggest scandals in modern UK politics: the badger cull.
230,000 killed. It hasn’t worked. It won’t work. TB spreads cow to cow — not from badgers.
This is pointless slaughter.

Tell your MP: Badgers are NOT disposable.
Planning & Infrastructure Bill will allow badgers to be killed for development.
⚠️ This is not conservation. This is cruelty.
🛑 Not in our name.
Demand your MP opposes this Bill.

The new planning bill means developers can build on nature areas and parks as long as they pay for new nature elsewhere. HOWEVER Defra sources have admitted this can be nowhere near the initial site - stripping communities of their green space theguardian.com/environment/…
