This. Whilst we've all been distracted by the sewage issue. Please, if you care about #pollinators - read what @MattEAShardlow has to say. It's hugely important that we understand this 👇👇👇 buglife.org.uk/blog/bees-and…

Just had a very thoughtful and connected politician on the phone I won’t name as that wouldn’t fair, but it is clear to me that the battle of the next decade is going to be about land - and corporate control of, and use of, land is going to another level

6 days ahead of cop26 the headlines are 265 Tory MPs voted against protecting our environment by being unconcerned about sewage in our rivers. Only 22 Tory rebelled. Is this a govt you see prioritising climate issues?

Reference the online discussion about the dumping of raw sewage. There are a lot of MPs that are trying to justify their vote. I've checked out the details of the actual amedment. It reads ... /1

104 days after been fined £90m for dumping sewage into the environment and less than 12 hours after Gov voted to protect water companies and not our rivers, @SouthernWater were dumping sewage at 60, yes 60, different locations along the south coast of England. #COP26 hypocrisy

This week @UKLabour voted to stop water companies routinely dumping raw sewage into England’s rivers. The Conservatives voted to allow it to continue by blocking an amendment to the #environmentbill that would stop it. The Government needs to think again.

Hey @Conservatives, to conserve means to keep or protect something from damage, change or waste. How's that going???
Will someone stand up at #COP26 and call out Johnson for discharging tons of sewage into UK coastlines as soon as #Brexit slammed the door on the EU's environmental British rivers and beaches program? 9000 miles of rivers, 95% of water at beaches cleaned by the EU!🙄I despair

GREAT NEWS My campaign to limit the number of people retweeting this image and causing upset to the Conservatives has made great progress I am now so confident that nobody will RT it that I am going to tag in @Conservatives so they can see how well we're doing. Thank you. #marr

My MP, @joymorrissey, was one of many MPs who rejected eight amendments to the Environment Bill, including measures to stop sewage being dumped into rivers, protection for bees and tougher air pollution targets. She has blocked me, so retweeting this to her would be appreciated.

People in favour of pumping raw sewage into rivers and the sea have a little get-together
Thank you @shaunbaileymp for attending as our guest for the @NorthantsSouth Conservatives Association dinner and @ALewerMBE it was great to be able to meet volunteers and members again. They are the life line of our party. #Conservatives #SouthNorthants

Pls check whether yr MP is on this list of shame = those who voted to allow water companies to discharge raw sewage into our rivers. If they are, write & ask: WTF? MP's contacts here: theyworkforyou.com. Don't forget to say you're their constituent. Pls share responses.

You may know @DPuttnam from his brilliant films - Chariots of Fire, Local Hero - but he’s also an expert in digital rights, data, democracy. On Friday, he resigned from the Lords because he believes our country is in terrible danger. Please read this. davidputtnam.com/viewNews/n/…
