This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.

“…Conventional economics, and all our journalists, always ask the wrong question: “Where will the money come from to pay for this?” But their first question should be something quite different. It should be: “Do the resources exist for money to buy?” If they do, finance can always be arranged.”
Bylines Network@bylinesnetwork.co.uk · yesterdayDonald Trump may have accidentally proved modern monetary theory right. The US can create the dollars to fund his war. What it can't create at will are missiles, factories, skilled workers and raw materials. Richard Murphy explains why that matters for far more than war. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

I’ve just signed the petition below calling for the Government to make Amazon pay their fair share in tax. Will you add your name too and then share it far and wide? 38d.gs/MakeAmazonPay
We pay our dues. They should too.
Amazon made £555 MILLION in profit in the UK last year, but only paid a fraction of what they should in tax. Jeff Bezos is rubbing his hands together, avoiding tax, while we pay our dues. Don't think ...

I just signed a petition to stop the rollout of facial recognition surveillance in the UK. The Government and shops are scanning us without clear laws in place, using our faces like barcodes. It feels really invasive. Can you take 30 seconds to sign it too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

WARREN: Do you still work for Capital One today? JOHNSON: I do. I'm here today in my personal capacity W: Ok. But they're paying you to get confirmed for this job. I also understand they're letting you keep a bonus you haven't yet earned. They must be really excited about getting you confirmed.
You know it makes sense Clacton 💯 #makeearthgreatagain
Peter Kay@theonlypeterkay.bsky.social · 2w agoFarage’s narcissism has handed Clacton a once in a century chance to make history: A chance to establish itself as a beacon of British good sense, humour and democracy by electing Count Binface. The World and his wife know who Farage is. Clacton voters will be derided forever if they reelect Farage.
Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.
Oh how the cultists used to cheer at his campaign rallies when he said this.
"My message to the people of the UK is that I'll train the new guy but you're going to have to stick with one of them eventually."
What could possibly go wrong?
Birmingham Green Party@brumgreens.bsky.social · 2w agoWe are in an existential #ClimateCrisis, and what does Burnham decide to do right at the start of his premiership when his support is at its highest and he can get away with the most outrageous policy? Drill for more oil and gas in the North Sea! This is more than insane - this is a #ClimateCrime.
