So exciting to be at the #saveourwildisles reception in Westminster this evening. Fantastic to be in the company of citizens from the People's Assembly as well as business and community leaders, politicians and charity folk talking about how we can save nature in the UK.

1781 environmental regulations are in 🔭 covering pesticides, food, nature, air/water quality etc

This whopping increase of > 1200 laws shows the huge environmental risks of the bill.

NEW: conservatives have a Millennials problem.

In both UK & US, it’s not just that Millennials aren’t voting conservative because they’re young.

Every previous generation grew more conservative with age, but Millennials are not playing ball.
