Today is the first reading of @SarahDykeLD’s 10 minute rule bill to #EndPeatSales🙌
There is wide support for this from the horticultural industry, MPs, & the public🪴
It's time the Government gets behind this crucial piece of legislation📜

Today in the Lords ...
Cttee Day 3 in the Water Bill. I have 3 amendments, all about Water Company ownership and administration.
I'll still be grumbling about @UKLabour not even considering #PublicOwnership. At the very least, it would have been a bargaining chip in negotiations.

Catastrophic news for England’s precious chalk streams‼️DEFRA abandons chalk stream recovery plan‼️We need an holistic approach not only addressing raw sewage overflows but all pressures eg phosphorus discharge and water abstraction etc to fix our rivers chalkstreams.org/2024/11/02/…

Chancellor didn’t mention climate or nature once in her budget speech. Unforgivable. This is a critical moment. Our entire economy rests on the health of our environment & this was a chance to reset to deliver a liveable future. #Budget2024

It’s the job of govt to make public transport better and cheaper. Chancellor has abdicated this responsibility

This is why it’s wrong to freeze fuel duty while hiking bus fares by 50%.

Illegal fox hunting
Under the guise of ‘trail hunting’
Blatant, deliberate, vile wildlife abuse across the country now
What are @UKLabour waiting for?

Two Counties Hunt Sabs have captured horrifying footage of a fox kill at the opening meet of the notorious Somerset-based Seavington Hunt.

@SarahDykeLD will you be there?

Wed may be budget day but our survival depends more on nature, so pls urge your MP to attend @EllieChowns debate on COP 29 and int. climate finance. Will PM commit to attend COP? Will gov commit to new and additional climate finance, not just part of existing overseas aid?

Nature's amendments to Great British Energy Bill need prioritising! Speaker will decide which of many amendments are heard. Here's hoping for a Nature Recovery Duty and a prohibition on investments leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions proposed by @AdrianRamsay @WCL_News
