Very moving and appropriate analogy of being in a relationship with a loved one who is suffering from addiction. Thank you Clive.
🔥 Former lawyer Tim Crosland outside the Royal Courts of Justice earlier today. 💬 "The real legacy of Just Stop Oil can't be assessed against the policies of a failing and addicted state or a collapsing empire. Just Stop Oil's real legacy is something much more important."

Hey @robertshrimsley here’s a Jew who has actually read the report which states that while anti-Jewish attitudes (abhorrent as they are) ‘are less prevalent & have remained stable’ anti-Israel sentiments ‘are more prevalent & have been increasing.’ The methodological weaknesses of some aspects of the report are also indisputable, as anyone who has done any meaningful research would attest. But we won’t let this reality mitigate your & the establishment’s hysteria & your shameful attacks on @owenjonesjourno & others. We live in a world of lies constructed by our mendacious politicians, corporate leaders & facilitated by the woeful mainstream media, which has long abandoned its crucial role in holding power to account.
Relax jews. Owen Jones has decided there’s no antisemitism to worry about in schools. Such a relief we have had him these last years to explain why things that look like antisemitism aren’t. What a mensch

This is an act of mass murder. People are already dying because of fossil fuels. Now the UK Government has locked in more deaths. Join the 4 Billion Dead open call tonight at 7pm UK time, with Roger Hallam and Ruth Cerezo-Mota: actionnetwork.org/events/oct…

1. THE GREATEST ACT OF FUCKING TREASON IN BRITISH HISTORY - The hiding of the report by the joint intelligence committee on the threats to UK security of the climate crisis and collapse of critically important ecosystems. It is totally beyond me that the British people are being subjected to the greatest ever grotesque act of tyrannical fuckery and everyone in the public sphere is going "Oh well, how upsetting". The security forces are saying that this country has "no future". What the fuck do we think this means? This is the same old same old British establishment routine that said we were experiencing "difficulties" on the western front in WW1 when literally thousands of young men were being blown to bits everyday. Millions more bodies are about to be sacrificed as the El Nino is turned into another mass killing machine by the pathological elites' refusal to slash emissions. The most fucked thing about this is that somehow Ed Miliband is being made out as our man in the thick of it as he waves bits of paper about peace in our time. Why the fuck doesn't he threaten to resign unless the report is published in full? Because he has absolutely zero guts. He does not a give flying fuck about this being a democracy - rule by us not him. When did we decide we are just dumb serfs to be fed into the final mass meat grinder rather than citizens whose fucking government actually belongs to us, not to the Labour Party? Why isn't someone, anyone, screaming - "we fucking demand the report in full because we are not fucking idiots ready to roll over and die". FUCK! Chronology: October 2025 - Report due to be published, but publication was cancelled. 14 October 2025 - Baroness Boycott raises the report in the House of Lords. The government declines to comment. Late 2025 - Ruth Chambers of Green Alliance submits an FOI request for the report. The request is initially refused on national security grounds. 20 January 2026 - The government publishes a 14-page version of the report following the FOI request. 27 January 2026 - The Guardian reports that the published version is significantly shorter than the original report. May 2026 - The Environmental Audit Committee asks the government for the full report. The request is refused. July 2026 - The Environmental Audit Committee raises the issue again. The full report is still withheld. 23 September 2026 - Ed Miliband briefs foreign ministers at a private meeting during the UN General Assembly in New York on climate change and ecosystem degradation as national security risks. 24 September 2026 - The UK government publishes a statement about the Foreign Ministers Dialogue co-hosted by Miliband, the EU and Kenya. September 2026 - The full report remains unpublished, although sections of its contents have been reported by The Times, The Guardian and ITV. - .GOV press release about the above 24/9/26 : gov.uk/government/news/press… - Guardian 23/9/26 : theguardian.com/environment/… - Parliament Debate 3/9/26 (skip to Adrian Ramsay) : hansard.parliament.uk/common… - Parliament Research Briefing 2/9/26 : commonslibrary.parliament.uk… - Environmental Audit Committee 8/7/26 : committees.parliament.uk/ora… - Environmental Audit Committee 18/5/26 : committees.parliament.uk/ora… - Ruth Chambers/Green Alliance who requested the report via FOI 29/1/26 : greenallianceblog.org.uk/202… - Monbiot/Guardian 27/1/26 : theguardian.com/commentisfre… - Times 23/1/26 : drive.google.com/file/d/1URu… - .GOV 14 page summary released under a FOI request 20/1/26 : assets.publishing.service.go… - Baroness Boycott House Lords 14/10/26 : hansard.parliament.uk/lords/… - Times 8/10/25 : drive.google.com/file/d/1DeF…

No juries, no justice, no trust. The Government say removing juries will speed up courts but estimates show 2 year back logs may only be reduced by a week. The right to a fair trial is more important. In Sheffield campaigners say: People need juries & people need justice!

Dear @BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News @5_News 🔔This is all across local news. The government hasn't yet briefed the public on the severe threats from climate change and nature loss, so civil society is taking matters into its own hands. Articles from last 10 days👇
What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Across the UK, communities are watching The People’s Emergency Briefing & discussing what to do next. Find a screening → nebriefing.org/screening-map

All civilisations collapse for basically the same reason: they could have responded to reality but they didn't. Our civilisation is no different as we face the consequences of runaway climate collapse: we can but we won't. “New Orleans is in a terminal condition, and we need to be clear with the patient that it is terminal,” he said. “There is an opportunity for palliative care, we can transition people and the economy. We can get ahead of this.” But, he added, “no politician wants to first give this terminal diagnosis. They will speak about it behind closed doors, but never in public.” theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

If Science is King then there is no Hope But Science is not King, God is King. And God is Love and Love does not need Hope And only once this is realised can there be Hope. (What is written here should not be taken "literally" - it is "poetic" - because only the "poetic" can be of help in the End times). theguardian.com/environment/…

🗣️”May I remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence. Even the lack of willpower to help humanity is a sick and sinister form of violence.” #CorettaScottKing #Coretta99 #DearCoretta #MLK #TheKingCenter

The genocide in Gaza is not in the past tense. The blockade, starvation, and killing continue—this is still the present reality. Lord, have mercy.
