George Monbiot speaks out on the Planning & Infrastructure Bill
"In its manifesto, Labour promised “to restore and protect our natural world” and “to unlock the building of homes … without weakening environmental protections”. Well, I guess you could argue it isn’t weakening them. It’s deleting them.
Environmental defenders were wary of Starmer’s Labour party, though I don’t think anyone believed it would be worse than the Tories. But here we are. Its legacy, if this terrible bill is approved, will be a grimmer, greyer, unhappier nation."
