Two of the journalists assassinated in South Lebanon this morning by Israel were Lebanese correspondents Ali Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni.

They become the 252nd and 253rd journalists killed by Israel in the last two years.

Unprecedented.

UK ‘weeks away’ from medicine shortages if Iran war continues, experts say Concern that supply chain disruption could hit health essentials – and prices – from painkillers to cancer treatment

Trump, and his propensity to start wars by bombing a school and killing children, has caused a ripple effect on everything. We are not isolated from the effects of wars. Eg. we no longer manufacture all our medicines, this will be a problem soon.

I was angry then and I am angry now. Johnson, Sunak and Hancock should be held accountable for the unnecessary deaths that occurred as a result of their decisions. They failed the first rule of government, to protect its citizens.
We need justice to be served.

I was angry at the time and I am still angry. That these men, Johnson, Sunak and Hancock made decisions that actively spread Covid leading to thousands of preventable deaths is unforgivable. They need to be held accountable in court facing criminal prosecutions.

Progressive Paris has many weapons to fight the far right, but the best? Spaces where you can simply hang out | Alexander Hurst Drop into any of the French capital’s ‘third places’ and you’ll find food, culture, community – and an antidote to the disaffection extremists feed on, says Paris-based writer Alexander Hurst

We need more “third spaces”’in our towns and cities. A place to “just be”. An anti dote to the isolation and resentment that fuels far right politics.

Labour’s donations crackdown is a blow to Reform UK – and a highly political move Reform’s ability to fundraise is hobbled in a move that draws attention to donations from an overseas billionaire

How about stopping all political donations and have a level playing field with state funding that could minimise sleaze and corruption that large personal donations encourage.

PM set to ban crypto donations in blow to Farage Max Kendix - Political Correspondent Sir Keir Starmer is expected to ban cryptocurrency donations in a blow to Nigel Farage as an independent review warns that they risk letting foreign powers intervene in British democracy. Reform UK was the first party to accept donations in cryptocurrency, which Farage has strongly advocated. He has also personally invested £215,000 in a bitcoin scheme run by Kwasi Kwarteng, the former Tory chancellor, and claimed the party had received “a couple” of donations in crypto. Tomorrow Philip Rycroft, a former senior civil servant, will publish his report on foreign interference in British politics. The Times has been told he will call for a ban on crypto donations as concerns rise about a lack of transparency and the risk of money laundering. Farage has previously said a ban would be “aimed directly” at Reform. Ministers have promised that Rycroft’s recommendations will be “incorporated” into the Representation of the People Bill, which is making its way through parliament. The Rycroft review was launched after the conviction of Nathan Gill, the former Reform MEP in Wales, for accepting bribes to promote pro- Russian narratives. It will also recommend forcing individuals behind opaque company donations to declare themselves to regulators. Rycroft said the report would “set out clear, practical steps to modernise political finance rules ... and better protect UK democracy”. Last year Farage received what was believed to be the largest political donation by a living person when Christopher Harborne, a British crypto tycoon based in Thailand, donated £9 million to Reform. Soon after the donation was received, on August 1, Farage publicly promoted Tether, the crypto company in which Harborne bought a 12 per cent stake in 2016. Farage denied that Harborne had asked for anything in return.

Crypto donations to political parties to be banned. Good.
Farage claims this is aimed directly at Reform. Good.

He also says that him publicly promoting Harborne’s crypto company had nothing to do with Harborne giving Reform £9M.
You’d have to be a v special kind of useful idiot to believe that.

Girlguiding gives trans girls and women until September to leave UK organisation Youth organisation says its belief in ‘dignity, respect and inclusion’ is unchanged but it ‘must operate lawfully’

Girl guiders now face hostility for standing up for their friends.

We’re letting big corporations gamble with our lives. Act now, or the food could run out | George Monbiot The fragility of the global food system fills me with dread – and the war with Iran has exposed just how close to collapse it is, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Just as we need energy security, we also need food security. Home grown plants 🥕🥦take up less land and provide UK farmers with an income. Why leave such an essential resource to few mega corporations at risk of global shocks?

The govt's ban on new oil and gas licences is just lip service for as long as it plans to introduce ‘tiebacks’. This loophole allows *new* drilling, by connecting new sites to existing ones. This is indefensible when every drop of oil or gas burned puts our future further at risk.

Ministers delay new rules for low-carbon housing in England Homes built from March 2028 will produce 75% less greenhouse gas emissions than those built according to existing 2013 standards

Welcome that, finally, a new UK homes standard requires solar power & heat pumps. But

- year's delay to 2028 means a further 150,000 homes will need retrofitting, at homeowners expense
- allowing wood burning stoves will mean air pollution costing many lives

Great thread.

If you had a cancer, would you just treat the symptoms or would you treat the cause to improve your chances of survival?

Time we treated fossil fuels as a cancer.

Fossil fuels need to be removed . They are killing us.

Ministers delay new rules for low-carbon housing in England Homes built from March 2028 will produce 75% less greenhouse gas emissions than those built according to existing 2013 standards

An opportunity to cut ordinary people’s bills, to cut carbon emissions and future proof new homes wasted by Labour government. Instead they allow developers to make profits 💷off home buyers and build homes that tie them into ripoff gas.

'Planet Earth is being pushed beyond its limits. Every key climate indicator is flashing red”
Fossil fuels are the cause of this crisis. A quick shift to renewables, electrify everything and eat less meat are well within our grasp should we chose to do so.

Good news.

Countless Iranians have died.

Energy bills will skyrocket.

The British people are against the UK involvement in this war.

A vote in Parliament is needed now and it's what Starmer promised when running for leader and pretending he was progressive.

‘It was our little idyll – until the solar farm landed’: the battle raging in the heart of the British countryside In one corner, clean energy champion Ed Miliband. In the other, residents – and Reform politicians – outraged at plans for more large-scale solar farms in Lincolnshire than anywhere else in the UK

Do you want to support our farmers, improve nature so skylarks, hares and red kites thrive? Do you want less chemical sprayed on our land and have a secure energy source that doesn’t pollute and slows climate change?

This is incredible.

Lowering speed limits among contingency plans to curb UK oil demand International Energy Agency recommends emergency measures, including working from home, as Iran war hits fuel supply

If only we had electrified everything and built secure renewable energy projects quicker. Electric cars, heat pumps more public transport, charged from home grown renewables. We wouldn’t be in such a pickle, reliant on short supply, expensive fossil fuels.
