A screenshot from the government blog post on the changes in the SFI options saying Reason for removing: GRH6 had moderate uptake. It was the only endorsed action in the SFI24 offer. It's being removed as part of the simplification of SFI26 as it required bespoke Natural England adviser endorsement. An equivalent of GRH6 is in the CS Higher Tier offer.

Species rich grassland in summer
A screenshot of a website page saying Removed GRH6 Manage priority habitat species-rich grassland (endorsed) £646/ha Removed GRH11 Cattle grazing supplement (non-moorland) £59/ha Reason for including: Like the arable farmland wildlife package, most of these grassland actions have moderate to high uptake and deliver moderate to high value for money. Some (for example, GRH1: Manage rough grazing for birds) currently have low uptake but deliver high to very high value for money. They also support important grassland habitat for birds in the uplands. Overall, this package of farmland wildlife actions makes a strong contribution to our environmental targets.

A screenshot from June 25 of Ben goldsmiths tweets on x disgusting stuff @@BenGoldsmith-30/06/2025 Replying to@piersmorgan Without diminishing the horrors of this war, if Israel wanted to eradicate Palestinians from Gaza they could have done so in the first week. The reason for the IDF sending brave soldiers into one dangerous tunnel after the next (mostly built beneath schools and hospitals), and into booby-trapped buildings, as well as sending clear warnings before every strike, has been to "minimise" civilian casualties. Militaries the world over will study for a long time how the IDF managed to achieve such low civilian to combatant casualties in such circumstances, with the other side deliberately using a strategy of human sacrifice. US-led coalition forces killed tens of thousands of civilians rooting ISIS out of Raqqa and Mosul. Nobody accused them of genocide. The term has been debased utterly, and the Palestinian people have been done no favours by such absurd accusations relating to Gaza. @BenGoldsmith • 29/06/2025 Replying to@piersmorgan You think Israel is seeking the complete eradication of the people of Gaza? Seriously? @BenGoldsmith•14/06/2025 Replying to @zain8130 @RedFing75194897 and @CouncillorJamal/ If the place had been carpet bombed, hundreds of thousands of civilians would be dead. As it happens, and while every civilian death is a tragedy, the ratio of combatants to civilians killed in Gaza is the lowest ever recorded in urban warfare, miraculously low even, given Show more @BenGoldsmith • 13/06/2025 Replying to @CouncillorJamal No, Hamas placed Palestinian civilians in harm's way as a deliberate
