A depressingly common response whenever nature collapse is highlighted. It's as if it somehow doesn't matter that: * Vast numbers of species that took millions of years to evolve get driven to extinction * Planet Earth will have no complex ecosystems for millions of years * Everyone will be dead

Thames Water's future in doubt after investor KKR pulls out. TW is financially, environmentally and morally bankrupt, can't be run for profit. Govt must not bail it out, let it collapse, buy for low price, end Thatcher's curse, start a new era.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m... What’s been a salutary experience is that these ordinary ppl (like us ordinary ppl) are invisible to politicians. What happens us, I now realise, is inconsequential. As long as we vote for them/believe their empty promises when the time comes is all that matters.

🚨 A statement: Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

In the same week Gary Lineker is forced to leave the BBC for his views on the atrocities in Gaza, Jeremy Vine has a show where Nigel Farage is given a voice to spout his populist bollocks, followed by Elon Musk’s dad doubling down on Trump’s white genocide propaganda. Good old BBC. So balanced.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Let me be clearer. I was former head of UK Foreign Office humanitarian affairs, incl policy on war crimes, genocide. I helped craft policy for international criminal court. I’m in no doubt these are war crimes. Disproportionate, indiscriminate, collective punishment by an occupying power.
