Half of England is owned by just 1% of the population. 24 Dukes own 1 million acres of land. The rest of us are shut out of it. Until that changes, we can't ensure that the nature we're blessed with is able to thrive well into the future. That's why we must extend #RightToRoam.

As @nickhayesillus1 says, it’s not swimmers poisoning our rivers or ramblers burning moorland. It's water firms dumping sewage, landowners burning peat & Govt failing to help farmers adopt agroecological farming. We must enable public to be guardians of nature, not its destroyers

Really powerful thread, thank you #AccessToNature #RightToRoam
RT @jm0ses: As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay.
Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.
Yet almost no-one has ever seen it. 🧵 https://t.co/Ihi8KafoHb

🚨HAPPENING THIS MORNING🚨
I'm leading debate urging Govt to improve public access to nature. Our immersion in nature has so many benefits, but access to so much of it remains a preserve of the privileged few. This must change. Tune in on https://t.co/ifFiqFFUD6!📺 #RightToRoam

🚨Today's news that we could hit 1.5C within a few years confirms what we already knew: that new fossil fuels *have* to stay in the ground. If Sunak is serious about climate leadership, he must cancel the Cumbria coal mine, drop the 100+ new oil & gas licences, and #StopRosebank

🚨 On Thurs I'm leading House of Commons debate urging Govt to improve public access to nature. Our immersion in nature & intimate connection to it is vital if we’re going to inspire people to know it, love it & therefore protect it. Please ask your MP to attend! #RightToRoam 📝

Deeply worrying that there’s so little focus on #LongCovid. With 2 million people suffering - some so badly they can no longer work - you’d have thought ministers might be taking it more seriously - @AppgCoronavirus will keep pressing for more action @LongCovidKids @long_covid

Yay!! Many congratulations 🎉 Hugely well deserved #Brighton
RT @AfroriBooks: Well that was a night. Awards are great. But we have come so far from 2020 and there was a stark lack of diversity in the awards. We don't want to stand alone. There is a lot of work to do. https://t.co/jfHsJfFWcI

Proudly wearing my badge to mark @theRCN #NursesDay today. Thanks to nursing staff in #Brighton for everything you do 🙏
In one of the richest countries in the world, we have nurses relying on food banks. Govt must deliver fair & decent pay & urgently address workforce shortages

An obsession with infinite economic growth on a finite planet has left us grappling with a climate & nature emergency. Long term-prosperity is only possible if Govt shifts to #wellbeingeconomy to benefit people *and* planet.

6 months ago, I raised with Minister the senselessness of #REULBill's sunset clause, meaning crucial environmental laws risked being unnecessarily torched - a clause which Govt has now finally ditched. It was an embarrassing response then, but it's even more awkward now 👇
