Local action alone can’t fix the Tories’ rigged planning system. We need a National fight back. My piece in today’s Guardian @ChrisGPackham @Lampsie1 @Hs2Rebellion @StopWensumLink @ZacGoldsmith @CPRE @cprekent @NorfolkBea

@DanicaPriest @BBCRadio4 No wonder you were so good! You’ve really done the research. And it’s very useful to have , thank you.

Panorama tonight -@BBCNews -is about the rush for renewables. Justin Rowlatt challenges the government’s scorn for’NIMBY’protestors. Instead we see the truth-ignored communities, distress at lost landscapes, and better solutions ignored. @CommunityPlann1 @BBCJustinR #pylons

@DanicaPriest @BBCRadio4 Well done, Danica. You put the case extremely well and were very nimble challenging some of the ridiculous assumptions about the environment and planning.

George Monbiot is right. When it comes to the environment @Kier_Starmer & @RachelReevesMP - ignorant, sneering, joyless- are worse than the Tories. Utterly depressing. @SteveReedMP @GeorgeMonbiot

This excellent report by the Community Planning Alliance ought to change the govt’s approach to housing. It exposes their ‘build build build’ fallacies & offers better solutions. There’s also a super easy link to forward to your MP
