Honestly didn’t take it as snark - You got to the nub of it ! We can build reservoirs but can we guarantee enough rain to fill them - it really is the the million dollar - or rather gallon - question

National Grid is trying to fell a 300-year old oak it promised to save. (The farmer even checked this morning that they would keep their promise and they said yes). This afternoon he finds out they were lying and WERE going to fell it. He has stopped them - for good?

And this is only part of the picture. It doesn’t even show the full extent of the devastation on the ground. Locals are experiencing the endless road closures and restrictions daily. Now consider the bigger picture. With so many energy projects earmarked within a six-mile radius of Sizewell, we have to ask: 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙠’𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚, 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚? SEAS questions whether Ofgem can justify committing consumers to £2.89bn £3.2bn for Sea Link when questions remain over Sea Link’s need, cost, technical operation and value for money. Our landscape is not an empty space on a developer’s map. It is home to wildlife, local communities, and the unique natural heritage that makes Suffolk so special. We all need energy. But that doesn’t mean we should accept the destruction of our countryside without asking serious questions about the cumulative impact, the alternatives, and the true cost to our communities and environment.

People need to see the scale of what is happening to our county. 💚 #SEAS #SaveOurSuffolk #Sizewell #ProtectSuffolk #SuffolkCountryside #EnvironmentalProtection #SizewellC

Joe Reeves @isnit0 & @shivmalik always have treated the residents of Cambridgeshire and Suffolk like pawns in some game only they knew the rules of, their arrogance truly knows no bounds #ForestCity #Suffolk #Cambridgeshire

People are lying awake at night worried about whether their homes are at risk, meanwhile @isnit0 is playing board games and cracking jokes about nimbys

These are the real life green fields that Forest City will destroy. Forever. Food security is not a game. Neither are people's lives.

I feel disgusted by the political parties - i.e. @UKLabour and @LibDems that are making this happen.

What’s it called - “Grand Theft Countryside” perhaps?

In Cambs one million trees were planted to compensate for loss of mature habitats felled for A14, 90% died. An order has now been granted to decimate a century old traditional orchard, our largest, a priority habitat, for a busway. Plant new trees AND stop felling mature ones.

Driving through Haverhill this evening, car parked at the side of the road with a huge 'Say No to Forest City' poster in the rear window.

Britain cannot afford to lose farmers and farmland and then assume that food security will somehow take care of itself. A country does not become food secure merely because its supermarkets are full today. Food security means having dependable access to food under normal circumstances and during disruption. It means retaining enough productive land, farming businesses, skills, infrastructure and processing capacity to maintain supplies when the world becomes less predictable. That distinction matters. And right now, the UK government is failing to recognise and address this. They are failing on farming and food security in the same way they are failing on energy security. Shameful.

No rural, no countryside, no farms, no nature, no environment. I suppose it confirms where we are in the PM’s pecking order, but one in four postcodes is rural. labour.org.uk/updates/storie…

Picking fruit all week; village produce stall this morning. With CSF this afternoon and another food bank tomorrow. The last harvest from these trees that have fed our County for a century. All to be felled for a busway to Grange Rd. Criminal.

what the hell has happened to my parcel

Developers are being told they can now pay to trash and override environmental legal protections. Why are the big environment charities being so silent? 👇👇👇

Primary school kids when the character in the book has the same name as a member of the class.

Impressive start to the day in Newmarket #Morston #Blakeney

My blood is boiling. These condescending bastards who have blocked everyone and anyone who questions their wholly destructive scheme of our beloved rural county. How dare they? The fear and dread is unrelenting.

I noticed that leaked tweet straight away. Pretending a petition stops sprawl elsewhere while quietly pushing your own development is exactly the kind of irresponsible practice I always call out. Well done for exposing it.

They cracked NIMBYism to work in their favour. At least it's out in the open now. I'd rather back homes near stations and brownfield sites than a petition that tricks neighbours. 🌿
