The government is suppressing a terrifying report which says the U.K. is in imminent danger from ecosystem and biodiversity collapse.
People may laugh and ignore this but we’re talking about not being able to produce enough food.
What do you think will happen to all of us when that happens? To relationships between people, for social cohesion and prejudice and hatred.
We really are not taking any of this seriously enough and what they’ve warned about for decades is coming through right in front of our eyes.
Thank goodness for the @guardian@guardianeco and journalists like @fionaharvey pushing these stories that are ignored almost everywhere else.

The UK’s welfare bill is lower than it was 15 years ago as a proportion of national income.
But mainstream media keep pushing the idea that it needs to be slashed so we can spend more on “defence”.
When economist Jonathan Portes was asked on Sky News where the welfare bill could be cut – he called out the broadcaster for asking a "nonsense" question.
The idea that welfare spending is out of control “is just wrong," he said.
Portes "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong"
Spot on!
The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties.
This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.
A fundamental principle being lost here - is that if you are charged with terrorism - you can defend yourself by explaining why you are not.
As the Filton 4 were never charged or found guilty of terrorism - the judge who sentenced them as terrorists -has denied them this right.
🚨”Temperatures in the Antarctic climbed above 15°C this month, shattering the previous winter heat record for the usually frozen region and raising concerns about the speed of climate breakdown."

Zack lives in a shared house.
That's like saying someone living in an HMO is "living in a £750,000 house".

👀 Pretty remarkable stat!
The Green Party got 1.95 million votes at the local elections (excluding mayoral!)
Approx 1 million more people (!!!) than best record in 2023.

The media are down playing the Green Party’s success because they don’t want you to think they’re a viable option. Meanwhile it’s wall-to-wall free advertising for Reform. The illusion of a democracy laid bare.
The only party led by a Jewish leader, who’s faced Nazi salutes and antisemitic abuse on our streets this month, wasn’t invited.
Reform's leader, with a track record of antisemitism, is invited.
I know, like every party, we’ve got work to do on tackling antisemitism. But tackling hate requires cross-party solidarity, not ideological gatekeeping.

Zack Polanski, "Austerity has stripped councils of funding"
"In the fifth wealthiest economy in the world, where 50 families own more wealth than 34,000,000 people, that's a political choice"
"National government needs to make different political choices"
I'm Jewish.
I condemn genocide.
I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide.
The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.
