The RSPB Blasts Government Over Abandoning Green Pledges
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has strongly criticized the government for breaking its environmental commitments, accusing ministers of being "liars".
The RSPB, with approximately 1.2 million members, expressed its anger on Twitter after the Rishi Sunak-led administration announced its decision to remove certain European Union regulations related to water pollution, which had been retained post-Brexit.
The move, aimed at facilitating the construction of new homes, received widespread backlash. Of particular note was the scathing attack from the typically mild-mannered environmental charity.

Itβs now very patently clear that you do not.

The RSPB concluded its statement on Twitter by demanding an end to the lies and urging the government to take concrete action to protect nature in the country.

Everyone should read this. Ps if @RSPBEngland put out a thread like this against a Labour government it would lead the news and lead all the right wing rags who will instead try to turn it into a story about wokery. Liars supported by liars. Viva RSPB!! https://t.co/8iMjLRy2dG

In response, environmental campaigner Feargal Sharkey highlighted that not a single river in England complies with the chemical standards, and the condition of rivers has been declining, with the government's own prediction indicating a further decrease by 2027.
Let me help with that.
Not a single river in England passes the chemical test, not one, they all fail, every single one.
