Shocking decision from the government to approve a data centre over desperately-needed social housing.
31,000 people in Tower Hamlets are on the waitlist for council flats. This centre will do nothing for them, except consume an immense amount of water and energy. Appalling.
"BP has doubled its profits during the Iran war. We should be using that money both for wildfire prevention and also to fund the fire service that is badly struggling."
Zack Polanski speaking about the climate crisis on LBC.
Losing access to our drinking water is a huge risk.
Over half of the country is in drought, yet we're losing 3bn litres of water daily through leaky pipes - which water companies won't fix because it's not profitable.

Palantir was sold to the NHS for £330m on the promise that it would magically reduce hospital stays by 15%.
It has been found to have no impact at all.
Get Palantir out.
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
Everyone needs to see this. Hundreds of Israeli settlers are coming down from hilltops and setting entire Palestinian villages on fire. Full on pogroms.
I'm one of 80 MPs & Peers calling on the PM to:
- Recognise the UN’s findings on genocide & implement the ICJ ruling in full
- Impose sanctions including a full arms embargo
- Ban trade that supports Israel’s illegal settlements
End Britain’s complicity in genocide, now!
How can we hope he has a serious plan for ending "the terrible suffering of people in Gaza" when he can't even bring himself to name Israel as the genocidal aggressor causing the suffering?
We need concrete action:a full arms embargo & an end to trade with illegal settlements.
At a certain point the guy in the bulldozer at the controls cant hide behind “its my job i need the money they will just get someone else to do it”
At the point where an elephant is trying to save its home from you, you are as liable and evil as the suits that gave the order
We are living through a "Cost of Living Crisis" while corporations are reporting "Record Breaking Profits." These two things are not happening at the same time by accident. One is literally causing the other.
I don't understand. It's £20B of private debt. Let it collapse. Shareholders wiped-out. Creditors take a massive hair cut. Someone else buys the assets at a massive discount & runs it better.
That's the creative-destruction inherent in capitalism.
Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones, with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you’re the one filming it
FIFA have lost control of their own tournament. From the moment Donald Trump made the call to get Balogun off the hook, it left them in utter disarray. From now on, every decision will be greeted with accusations of double standards. It's why the only way FIFA can regain respect and control is for Gianni Infantino to resign.
