Govt too busy blaming bats & newts to get facts right. Now @RachelReevesMP backs nature-free zones on @BBCr4today “…get development built, so that things are still 'nature positive', but not in every particular site.” Why do we bother any more? @mtpennycook @GarethBaconMP

@EnvAgency Why bother when the govt has decided to treat nature as a problem, erroneously blaming bats, newts and essential nature legal backstops as a barrier or block to growth? There’s no money to do anything decent. And you, the EA, are as unresponsive as MPs and councillors.
