1. The UK government’s pursuit of GDP growth at all costs is an assault on our natural wealth, which will impoverish us all. It might be able to massage the headline figures by converting the living world into money, but it does not improve our lives.🧵

Hello Bluesky! I've now actively left Twitter - we all know why! So, I'm looking forward to interacting here as we build the resistance ✊
