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, ENDS journalists discuss:

• The Treasury’s action plan to cut the administrative burden of red tape and what it means for environmental regulation
• Sir Keir Starmer’s attack on the “watchdog state” where “distinguished jumping spiders” are holding back the development of whole new towns

Plus, we explore how excess phosphates have stung development within a Welsh special area of conservation (SAC), discuss the government’s new reforms to the bathing water regulations, and look at the start of work to clean up plastic nurdles following the collision of two ships last week in the North Sea.
