Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories and bring you up to speed on the latest developments in environmental policy.

This week, ECO Chamber host James Agyepong-Parsons speaks with editor Jamie Carpenter about Reform UK’s party conference hosted at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham over the weekend. 

With prominent fringe events hosted by groups such as the US conservative think-tank, the Heartland Institute, we discuss how climate denialism has permeated Reform UK’s thinking around climate policy.  

And what does it mean now Steve Reed is leading the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government? And who is his replacement at DEFRA? This and more…

PLUS: A new legal opinion casts doubt on Planning Bill protections, a new report suggests sewage capacity fears are holding up housing, and a first-of-a-kind local nature recovery strategy has been published.
