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 unearths:


  • The gardens of England where food grows with toxic PFAS pollution.
  • The environment secretary's plan for growth, growth, growth at DEFRA.
  • And the news-in-brief: Missed biodiversity targets, rotten ammonia protocols and landfill permit breaches. 


For this week’s fact-check, we look into the truth behind the claim made by Robert Jenrick – the front-runner for the Conservative party leadership – that offshore wind is the driver pushing energy prices up, up and away.
