Ahead of elections on 7 May, ENDS Report presents a podcast politics special in addition to your usual ECO Chamber episode.

With polls suggesting Labour is facing crushing defeats across the country, we hear from a power house of special guests on what the implications could be for green policy if what is predicted comes to pass: 

• Ben Goldsmith, co-founder of Nattergal and a former non-executive director of DEFRA
• Paul McNamee, director of the Labour Climate and Environment Forum
• and Kitty Thompson, head of campaigns at the Conservative Environment Network.  

The trio join ECO Chamber host James Agyepong-Parsons and ENDS Report news editor Pippa Neill.

With a focus on England’s local elections, the team breaks down the implications of the latest polling suggesting that Reform UK is set to dominate and asks whether the government is likely to double down a narrative that nature is a blocker to environmental growth – or whether it may see cause to make peace with bats and newts?.

The ECO Chamber is brought to you by journalists at ENDS Report.
