🇬🇧 Today marks a very dark day for fundamental human rights in the UK. Daniel Shaw and his co-defendants have been sentenced to spend 4 & 5 years in a prison cell for planning a peaceful protest. This decision is beyond comprehension. Full statement here: unece.org/sites/default/file…

🏘️ On planning reform, as ever the devil will be in the detail. The govt promises engagement on this, underpinned by an “unwavering” commitment to the environment which is good to see. 🌊 Disappointing gaps on protecting peat bogs and oceans though.

And - the democratic decision making process for planning must be protected/improved
This is the right spirit to start reform: nature is *critical natural infrastructure*, with as much national significance as any NSIP. It can't be done on the cheap (needs a x-sector #polluterpays approach) but there's real potential for large-scale nature benefits if done well.
