The EA has been under-resourced for many years, hence the appalling state of our rivers - and with climate change already ramping up, the Flood Risk Management and Water Resources/Abstraction teams will need to be expanded, not cut! (Disclosure - yes, I'm biased :-))

☀️🇬🇧 Solar panels do not currently cover “thousands of square miles” of UK farmland. DESNZ estimated in 2024 that ground-mounted solar covered 21,200 hectares, or around 81.9 square miles. That’s just 0.1% of the UK’s total land area. 🌱

You often hear that the Welsh uplands are naturally treeless — too high, too wet, too exposed — and that the evidence for it is upland tree cover declining from the late Mesolithic, before farming even arrived. In Eryri, the pollen record shows the opposite. 1/🧵

Adrian Ramsay
MP for Waveney Valley

"The hottest summer on record requires a response that meets the needs of the moment and our future, and the expected decision to allow new North Sea drilling would be a betrayal to a public that expects and wants more action on climate change.

The summer has seen unprecedented wildfires, a drought and it's thought that thousands of people have died as a result of hot weather.

This is a major threat to our country and we need the Government to step up."
