Fury as Rishi Sunak ‘blocks efforts’ to help save swifts from extinction (www.independent.co.uk)

Rishi Sunak may be a devoted “Swiftie” – but the prime minister’s government has provoked fury by reportedly blocking efforts to help save real swifts from extinction.

Mr Sunak last summer went to a Taylor Swift concert in Los Angeles and even took part in a cycling class set to the “Shake It Off” singer’s music.

But the Tories are said to have vetoed a popular campaign to change the law to create homes for swifts, the globally threatened bird species whose populations have plummeted by more than half in the UK.

The government denied it had blocked the move – but campaigners claim a purported official letter proves ministers “have no plans to legislate”.
