NEW The UK's pledge of an 81% cut in emissions by 2035 is confirmed by Keir Starmer at #COP29 in Baku Makes the UK only the third country to come forward with a 2035 NDC, behind Brazil and UAE. The UK reduction is much more ambitious too.

The Football Governance Bill will be introduced in Parliament to protect "the sustainability of English football". Environmental decline threatens so many clubs, but the bill ignores climate & nature. Surely the new Regulator needs environmental duties like other public bodies?

Today is the first reading of @SarahDykeLD’s 10 minute rule bill to #EndPeatSales🙌 There is wide support for this from the horticultural industry, MPs, & the public🪴 It's time the Government gets behind this crucial piece of legislation📜 #peatfree #horticulture

There were 328 *million* poultry in England at last count. Can numbers keep rising if we ever want river pollution to fall? Hope @DEFRA's water commission considers new rules to review permits for intensive units & support farmers to reduce pollution. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/669e3a76…

Today, @MuniraWilson presented a 10-Minute Rule Bill placing statutory limits on PFAS in drinking water – as a first step to regulating PFAS as a group of chemicals. “There’s no better legacy we can pass on to our children than to safeguard their health as best we can”.

I am about to present my bill to Parliament which would limit the levels of dangerous forever chemicals in our water. We must hold our water companies to account on this. You can follow along what I say here 👇 🧵 1/8
