Eco Chamber

DEFRA’s Budget blues and will Reeves’ raid ‘ruin’ the countryside?

Listen on

Episode notes

Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, and take a forensic look at one of the deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

This week, ENDS journalists look at:

• The environmental implications of Labour’s first budget in over a decade-and-a-half and what it means for DEFRA.

• And the news-in-brief: The mother of the first person in the world to have air pollution on their death certificate has settled her legal claim against the government, Natural England’s approval of a protected saltmarsh demolition may have been unlawful and the COP 16 walkouts. 

For this week’s fact check, we look into the truth behind claims made by the former president of the National Farmers Union that the government’s latest changes to agricultural property relief will ‘destroy lives… and ruin the countryside’.
