Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, and take a forensic look at one of the deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.


In this week’s episode, the team explores:


  • PFAS. How much is it going to cost and how long have our agency’s known about its dangers?
  • And planning for the UK’s first new deep sea coal mine in decades has been quashed by the courts… why?


In the news-in-brief section the team discusses:

  • DEFRA's order to ‘regulate more effectively’.
  • Labour’s climate and nature special envoys and
  • Severn Trent's £300K payout following the pollution of a Gloucestershire brook.


For this week’s deep-dive, the team factchecks the true cost of renationalising the water companies.
