Anti-nature lobbyists are pushing misinformation to remove our legal protections for endangered species and habitats so let’s go over all the errors in the Nuclear Regulations Review aka the Fingleton Review. Please share to get the truth out there. Unlike Sam no one funds me 🧵

First some context for those new here:
The Fingleton Review was commissioned by the government to find ways to speed up nuclear projects. The review recommends weakening the Habitats Regulations, which would remove legal protections for our most important sites for wildlife

🚨 Are you a nature lover? 🚨

The government is pushing a planning and infrastructure bill that weakens environmental protections. But what does that actually look like?

The species at risk have real faces and names. Lets meet some of them 🧵

shy and declining, reliant on ancient hedgerows, woodland and scrub. Their populations are fragmented, and they require well-connected habitats to thrive.

I’m overwhelmed by the lovely comments I’ve seen after my appearance on Antisocial on @BBCRadio4 🥰 Thank you so much for the kind words! I wanted to provide the sources for all the points I made on the show since I’m a big fan of showing your evidence 🧵 First up I said studies show that nature degradation could lead to a 12% decrease in the UK GDP which is a larger loss to the economy than Covid 19 and the 2008 financial crisis. That came from this study here: eci.ox.ac.uk/news/nature-de…

I’m so pleased to be your Green Party candidate for Filwood alongside @breitideas in this May's Bristol City Council Elections!

Promoted by Ed Fraser on behalf of Danica Priest (Bristol Green Party), both at 17 Great George St, Bristol BS1 5QT I’ve been working hard for Knowle West and South Bristol for ages as this is my home and it’s green spaces are my life’s passion. I fought relentlessly for years to save the Western Slopes from @MarvinJRees @LabourBristol Now the Western Slopes will finally be a nature reserve 💚

Breaking‼️@Redrowhomes are coming in to plow Yew Tree Farm an SNCI, ancient grassland with dormice! There is no ecologist present. They have no planning permission. This is exactly what we said would happen if the hedge was cut. Where’s planning enforcement @marleybennett They are cutting more hedges and driving around in circles damaging the grassland. Where’s your iron clad commitment to saving Yew Tree Farm @TomRenhard @MarvinJRees ? Why are you not stopping this? We told you the crematorium application would lead to more damage!

Arg! I’m so annoyed with myself for missing this!!! Luckily BCC have said they will accept comments this weekend so theirs still time to add this. I can’t believe BCC are endorsing @BuildWithNature who are supporting Homes England to destroy @BrisMeadows 😡 This has to change! You can tell BCC why you don’t think it’s appropriate to endorse Building with Nature, a group that is helping destroy @BrisMeadows here: smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Bristol-Loca…

I went to the Epic software meeting with long Ashton parish council and here’s a quick summary: the company has ‘special requirements’ that means they can’t use any existing Bristol office space but can’t say what those are. They denied this section of Taylor Wimpey’s report They had a graph saying 84% of their employees travel without cars to their current Redcliffe Bristol office and made the claim that this meant their ‘campus’ in the middle of the greenbelt in long Ashton would be the same.

🚩Silent majority myth🧵
bear with me this is a long one but it’s really important! I found the source of all this ‘silent majority that approves of housing’ propaganda & it’s worse than I thought! Please take a trip down the rabbit hole with me & see how we’ve all been misled… Long story short PR companies & billionaire developers are using data from a deceptive survey commissioned w/ Shelter to mislead young people, push a self-serving narrative & make more money from a housing crisis they helped create. I’ll explain more & provide sources of course…
