The
East Anglian Daily Times (EADT) recently created a story out of a tweet about liars allegation including MP Therese Coffey. But it didn't really explain enough of the story.
The 31st Aug 2023 edition of the paper brought our attention to a tweet by the RSPB in which the RSPB calls Coffey and others liars.

The reason for the Government ammending the EU nutrient neutrality rules, appears to be the concern that the rules would prevent the building of the thousands of homes urgently needed across the country, to house British people and also migrants.
You can see from this article by Norwich City Council that nutrient neutrality rules could potentially thwart new housing developments in many areas of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Politicians need to be allowed to react to new information and circumstances. But also, a tried and tested trick in Western democracies is to make a rule or law, and then amend it a short time afterwards in a way which everyone knew wouldn't be popular if public were aware of it in the first place.
