Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution? | George Monbiot The US attack on Iran has made the need for renewable energy inarguable, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“Greens who were long dismissed as “idealistic” & “unrealistic” now look like hard-headed pragmatists & true patriots. They’re years ahead of their rivals in demanding a transition that makes sense on every level: environmental, economic & political” - great article from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👇

In June 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon, butchering 25,000 people, mostly civilians, bombing 13 hospitals.

Ronald Dahl wrote about it in 1983, condemning Israel’s Nazi tactics & racist savagery.

43 years later, the slaughter is being ramped up, the terrorists emboldened by US-backed impunity.

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵

1) Since Starmer became leader, Labour Party membership has dropped by over 50%. And falling.

2) since Zack Polanski became leader, GPEW membership has risen by over 200%. And climbing.

3) Now only 25,000 difference in membership numbers between them.

'Benefits changes mean my son could lose out on £200 a month' Charities say families are facing financial worries as changes to disability benefits come into effect.

UK disability benefit cuts

New applicants for the health top-up to Universal Credit
to receive half of the current rate whilst cost of living rises. Loss of £200+ a month.

If you lose your benefit and reapply, you get the lower rate.

Thousands will be pushed into poverty.

Cruel.

A terrible decision, and one which will do huge damage to the Government's climate credentials.

As Ed knows, this drilling won't lower bills, but instead it sends a clear message that Britain won't be a world leader on ending oil and gas exploitation

Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today

Can you explain how the greens have "veered to the left"?

To the left from what?

I've supported them for decades because they are left wing.

This is Apartheid.

It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide.

To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

Massive props & thanks to Zack for continuing to speak up about the Gaza genocide & Israeli apartheid. This takes a huge amount of bravery bc as we've been seeing recently, it's coming at an increasing personal cost as the smears & attacks ramp up in the media

But the fear and terror land on real people, thousands of miles away, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support.
