Rachel Reeves is right to want businesses 'in the room'. But beware of corporate capture: other interests with other perspectives need to be in the room too!

This is an excellent commitment. We'll look forward to seeing more detail about how all London rivers can be made safe for people and nature.

'There is an undeniable appetite for businesses to address the wasteful and destructive practices prevalent in the industry.'

🧵by Richard Benyon demolishing Liz Truss's unfortunate piece in the Telegraph. It's important that the consensus on environmental action holds - not important for NGOs (yawn) but for the UK's prospects in a decarbonising world (&, of course, the state of the planet).

'We should call out the green lobby’s brazen anti-capitalist agenda', says Liz Truss. The many businesses Green Alliance works with seem pretty keen on the net zero, green growth agenda.

Excellent article Shaun Spiers on how to avoid ‘green belt wars’. Important advice for The Labour Party.

The EU declares war on puffins.

Many MPs love to attack the regulators, but we won't get clean water without tougher regulation. And this isn't about attacking farmers either: supermarkets & consumers need to pay a proper price for milk.

This is shameful Ursula von der Leyen Virginijus Sinkevičius

Your regular reminder that 'unattractive' #GreenBelt can become very attractive, nature rich Green Belt.

Tl;dr trains are great, but there's room to improve, and this would be very smart politics heading into key upcoming elections.

Brand new report from Green Alliance on What people actually want from Greener Fashion drops on Monday. We’ll be here to give you the highlights and the experts. Sign up now. Free online event! eventbrite.co.uk/e/changing-fas… #sustainablefashion #fashion

'If politicians want to help both people and planet, they need to make taking the train as cheap and easy as the plane. This would be a solid first step towards reducing flights and getting runaway aviation emissions under control.'

Such a great event celebrating, revitalising & discussing the findings & themes of the Dasgupta Review on the economics of biodiversity!
📄More from Green Alliance to come on this but yesterday was a good evening of chatter & enthusiasm for big ideas to finance nature restoration
