'I thought that it was overblown. We should not have created fixed penalty notices, for example. That was us not going with our principles,' she said
Chris Packham has criticised the Government for not mentioning climate in its Budget during a protest march against water pollution on Sunday. Speaking at the March for Clean Water outside Westminster in London, the naturalist and TV presenter said: “Rachel Reeves gave a Budget in 2024, whilst Valencia was being flooded and people were losing their lives, and she didn’t use the word climate or nature once in that Budget. “Now that’s scary.
” Pointing at Parliament, Mr Packham added: “I know there are plenty of MPs and ministers over there who are desperate to do what they need to do and do their job – but they need to be given access to the resources, and part of that is finance. “We’re here in good natured mood because I think that we’ve got to give them time, and this is going to take some time, but you have to mitigate that against the urgency of the situation. Because it is an absolute crisis.
