    In votes just now, the House of Lords said NO to Government plans to… ❌Scrap #NutrientNeutrality rules ❌Give itself powers to further amend protections without proper security. A massive thanks to the peers, orgs & people who have stood up for rivers & good policy making 🙏

    Voices across environment, business, unions, law & civil service are united in calls to stop the #REULBill🛑 EU Laws include key regulations protecting everything from nature to public health🌳 @RishiSunak can stop putting them at risk, by immediately withdrawing the bill🌱

    We’ve had political promises to save #nature before. And they’ve been missed time and time again. Now we’re calling on @BorisJohnson to put promises for nature’s recovery in law. Sign our petition for a #StateofNature target in the #EnvironmentBill. 👉 e-activist.com/page/76784/pet…
