WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF FOOD.
The day the UK govt was supposed to release a report warning of catastrophic food collapse, it also published data showing England had just had its second-worst harvest on record.
So they cancelled the report's launch, calling it "too negative".
I’ve just signed the petition to ban councils using bailiffs to collect debt. With council tax going up this month, we need to act now before millions of people have the bailiffs come knocking. Can you sign and share? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

White text on black background reads, "You’re going to have to act. It’s just whether you act in response to the crisis, or you try to prevent it. Both options are going to have to involve systemic change.”
White text on black background reads "Yes, there are the deniers and the delayers and ignorers - the Trump people and the Reform voters and the rest - but there’s a chunk of people in the middle who, if they understood, would act more. we need to try to engage those people.”
Yesterday, we hosted a live screening of the People's Emergency Briefing. Throughout the film, UK scientists issued stark warnings about the climate crisis.

Their path to winning is simple: knock every door. Twice. They’re close - but need more people. If you want to change how politics works, it’s happening in Lambeth: shakeitup.org.uk
Map of Lambeth
Labour look set to lose Lambeth Council for the first time in a generation.
Polls show their vote collapsing across London. On the doorstep in Brixton, Clapham & Stockwell, only 1 in 20 say they're voting Labour.
A combo of Greens and independents could break their grip.
Is he growing food for humans or stable crops for farm animals. The constant use of chemicals is actually destroying our soil. It’s like running an overdraft and being surprised why you’ve got a massive interest bill and not enough money to pay it. It’s time to grow with the soil not against it.
Pennycooks opposition to rent controls was welcomed by Kurt Mueller - Britain's largest listed private landlord
Labour's housing minister's opposition to rent controls welcomed by the country's largest private landlord.
Who's side are Labour on? Renters or landlords. The answer is here.
MacFarlane: Are we to pretend we didn’t watch all that on television on January 6th? Did we not all see what happened at the Capitol?
These vacating of convictions, these pardons, are communicating to the American people: do not believe your lying eyes
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?

They have become the beast incarnate, they can't do anything except destroy everything around them. They have become so myopic and insular in the self imposed isolation they have lost any capacity for empathy for their fellow humans, we are after all just GOY. #FailedState #GenocidalIsreal
🚨NATIONAL HOUSING DEMONSTRATION
Join the demonstration assembling from 1PM at Soho Square Gardens to demand more council houses, rent controls, an end to exploitative landlords and the rip-off squeezing working class families out of London.
AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter.
And I think today was an important turning point
The nod and a wink old boys network is at work in this case. Nothing traceable is on the record except the proscription of Palestine Action and the judgements of not guilty and an illegal proscription. Our country is being run in Gentlemen’s clubs and in the lobbying halls, all off the record.
BREAKING - Zarah Sultana MP exercises Parliamentary Privilege to expose the unjust nature of the Filton 24 re-trial.
UK press has been court ordered not to publish these details.
“If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that”

We have a Prime Minster that is a reactionary rather than leading man. For an ex human rights lawyer he seems to have lost his moral compass.
Make sure you let people know who's sponsoring GBNews by advertising on their toxic Myopic Platform.
A temple built into a mountain in Dubai
In 1972, Bhutan scrapped GDP as a measure of national success and replaced it with Gross National Happiness.
Now it's carbon-negative, 70% forested, 100% renewable electricity. The world's tallest unclimbed mountain - left that way on purpose.
Small country. Way ahead of the curve.
Brendon Grimshaw on the beach with his dog
Brendon Grimshaw was the real life Robinson Crusoe.
In the 60s, he bought an uninhabited island in the Seychelles for $13,000 and never left.
Over 40 years, he planted 16,000 trees by hand. Brought in 120 giant tortoises. Watched 2,000 birds return. Now it's a national park. 💚

The power of the lobbying of governments is a one sided affair. They have the money and the contracts and so they can influence the policies. It’s time we stopped believing this is a flare in the system. The truth is it’s built in to it so that those that have the most and have even more.
Over $3.5 trillion is being hidden by the super rich.
Tax abuse hurts everyone, depriving our communities and public services of investment.
Governments need to act to close loopholes, ensure transparency, and properly tax the super rich.
