"could pass a significant tipping point by mid-century"

Which is less than 25 years away. And given the lag in effects, we have then, what? 15 years to make changes or suffer the consequences of inaction?

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

He's an evil piece of shit, and after 10 years we're closing in on everyone seeing it

He's *dismissing* hundreds of raped kids—and I bet a lot of people who hear him do so will imagine that he's doing something so otherwise unthinkable because some of those kids were his victims

Hunners of them

Inside the £64bn pharma deal that could cost more lives than Covid With the NHS on its knees, the UK has struck a secretive new drugs deal. But how was it made – and what will it really cost?

£64bn is the cost of UK capitulation to pharmaceutical companies and Trump.

Secret deal commits the NHS to pay higher price for new and existing drugs

No debate in parliament.

Govt can tax the rich, cut other services, let people die, start manufacturing drugs and become self-reliant.

Trump warns US-UK trade deal ‘can always be changed’ with relations in ‘sad state’ President says he gave Britain ‘better deal than I had to’ but ally was ‘not there when we needed them’ on Iran

Trump threatens to end US-UK trade deal because UK won't join his illegal Iran war.

There is no special relationship. It is subservience to the US.

Don't make agreements with Trump. He doesn't honour them.

The King's visit should be cancelled.

UK must rejoin the EU, build alliances with others.

Archaeologists in Glasgow have unearthed what may be a 1,000-year-old posthole in the churchyard of Govan Old, an early medieval Christian site established by Northern Brittonic Clydesiders around AD 500.

As Orbán bites the dust, it’s worth remembering this old Farage confession in the clear. He always seems to be compelled to thank foreign entities for their help in damaging our national interests - it has echoes of a serial killer taunting the police.👇

Nigel Farage MP reposted Stack BTC 7 @stackbtc_• •10h X BREAKING: Nigel Farage has purchased £2m of Bitcoin for Stack BTC - becoming the first sitting MP and the first UK political party leader in history to publicly buy Bitcoin. A landmark moment for Bitcoin in British politics. $STAK @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Show more Photo of Farage and Kwarteng grinning like Cheshire cats together at the launch

Farage and Kwarteng doing a Bitcoin deal has to sum up the sheer stinking rottenness of their brand of politics.

This is not democracy. It’s certainly not public service. It’s pure corruption. And repulsive, piss-taking greed.

Private firms providing services to NHS made £1.6bn profit in two years, research finds Exclusive: MPs say profit-making levels in England are ‘scandalous’ and call for cap on amount private companies can make from NHS

Private firms got £12bn NHS contracts.

Private equity, offshore tax haven firms big winners. Donations to Ministers pay dividends.

£1.6bn profit in 2 yrs. Enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses

Health service “taken for a ride”.

Say NO to privatisation. Must expand NHS capacity

Private firms providing services to NHS made £1.6bn profit in two years, research finds Exclusive: MPs say profit-making levels in England are ‘scandalous’ and call for cap on amount private companies can make from NHS

No wonder Wes Streeting has so many private healthcare donors...

Mathias Corvinus Collegium -which Orban used to fund Christian Right across Europe - has endowment worth *1% of Hungary’s GDP*

This money has gone to Matt Goodwin, Frank Furedi, a Roger Scruton foundation run by Michael Gove + James Orr

Magyar needs 2/3rd of seats to unpick this. Be huge if he can

Emergency Prices: How Private Equity Captured the Ambulance Market Emergency service costs have been going up for years, frustrating city officials. One reason seems to be private equity, which bought up ambulance makers and raised prices.

How Private Equity Captured the US Ambulance Market.

PE controls vehicle manufacturing, prices raised, profiteering. Higher cost of emergency services.

In UK, PE controls water, dentistry, vets, care homes, child fostering, hospitals. What next?

Capitalism worships profit, devoid of humanity.

don't forget the eyeliner

a senior golden retriever sits in the grass in front of a gray stone wall and faces the camera head-on. he has at least four tennis balls in his mouth – two stacked vertically under his nose, and one pressing up his cheek flaps on either side. the balls are faded shades of orange and green, now weathered and well-loved, like the sugary white of the dog’s face.

This is Finley. He is the Guinness Book of World Records champ for most tennis balls held by a dog in their mouth with 6 at once. Earned the title six years ago and has remained undefeated. He may be a senior, but he definitely knows ball. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: finnyboymolloy)

The battle against Trump is a battle against genocide iandunt.substack.com/p/the-battle...

Trump declares war on nature

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time.

Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end.

We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

Antarctic whales’ remarkable comeback is threatened by krill fishing Huge industrial trawlers are competing for krill – the main food source for whales – in the Southern Ocean, removing vital nutrients from the ecosystem

“Whales are back” depends on where you look.

Some areas are dense.
Others—where they used to be common—are now quiet.

That’s not recovery.
That’s compression into what’s left.

We don’t notice absence.
We notice what remains.

That’s an echo.

What happens to Britain's radical right if Orbán loses? Inside the money, power and patronage connecting Hungary and the British right

Brexit remains unforgivable in the damage it’s done to our country, our democracy and to people’s lives. Ruinous stupidity, vengeful prejudice and political dishonesty. And Farage wants more of that. Threatening to tear up improvements to our Brexit deal and leave the ECHR.
Jeezus, UK. Wake TF up.

Today your water bill is rising again, after a 26% hike last year on average.

This is because the regulator is allowing extractive private companies to rinse the public.

In Parliament I'm calling to end the failed experiment of water privatisation. Time for public ownership.
