Sewage fat cats face the clink, net gain loopholes and Labour's 'reckless' solar expansion

Eco Chamber

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.

In this week’s episode, the team explores:

• The implications of Labour's new water bill, which includes the threat of criminal action against water company executives who don't clean up their act.
• Why conservationists want to close loopholes emerging in biodiversity net gain policy.

In the news-in-brief section the team discusses:

• The final report on Grenfell Tower
• Scotland’s nature bill.
• And the energy majors pursuing oil and gas in the North Sea.

For this week’s deep-dive, the team factchecks the Conservative's claim that Labour’s ‘reckless plans’ are compromising food security in favour of giant solar farm development.
