Tory environment group criticises PM Liz Truss over farmland solar energy plan

It is relatively unusual for the group - compromising 150 Tories - to directly contradict the prime minister in such a way. Green energy supporters are also joining their dissenting voices.

We're deeply saddened to hear of the death of HRH Prince Philip. Among his many interests, he was a passionate environmentalist and a vocal supporter of early conservation efforts. We remember his many years of loyal service to this country.
