‘Then there was the casual, almost Muskian, manner in which minister Jack Chambers disbanded the climate division in the Department of Public Expenditure. In other words, the man holding the purse strings on big projects does not need any environmental inputs on their effects or improvement.’

The great green retreat: Is this Government done with trying to save the planet?

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’ve been standing stock still in this wood for about 10 minutes while I mess about with a photo on my phone. I look up, notice the shape, and slowly crouch down to film This has made me so happy I feel I could cry. It’s as close to magic as I hope to get.

A barrister represents his clients in court. Clients who are political dissidents. He now faces criminal prosecution for doing so. Not Turkey. Not Egypt. Not Russia. England. Astonishing, deeply disturbing, and part of a long slide towards authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Today, in manufactured social outrage; Muslims are apparently hanging Islamic prayer mats to dry on the railings of the Church of the Assumption, Tullamore, in a deliberate and provocative attempt to antagonise locals. The story has been viewed by millions and has no basis in reality

The neighbours' cattle have come over to check out the choons of @johncreedon.bsky.social that I'm enjoying out in the evening sunshine. More "summer in the country" than "summer in the city" as sung by Axtec Camera. Thanks John for those two Aztec Camera tracks, & for all the music these sunny days
