Making economic growth the overriding purpose, to which all else must be sacrificed, not only trashes ecological and social values. It's also spectacularly bad politics. Governments can't control growth, but when it dips, this government, by its own criteria, fails. A rod for its own back.

There are answers to our poor health & the cost of living crisis. It’s easier to point the finger at foreigners, but it won’t help us heat our homes or pay for groceries. At the end of the day, any politician attacking migrants is covering for the fact they have no answers for you.

Nadia making the real moral case when it comes to welfare on #r4today Responding to truly disgusting questions about “incentivising” people out of disability through benefits cuts. Protecting sick & disabled people from poverty is not only morally right, but saves money long term. Cuts cost more.

Old Mary's Life Lessons. No.13:- 1st wild garlic appearing in the veg box, my own patch in the garden nearly ready but it grows profusely in the wild. Always value Nature's bounty, harvest carefully & only take what you need. Makes great pesto & sauces but I love it shredded into mashed potatoes!

www.ft.com/content/daab... It’s maddening to see Labour not mentioning 3.1 million with long Covid and I am very disappointed in the opposition. They don’t want to talk about COVID. We are being failed.

Badenoch wants “to shift immigration powers from courts to Parliament and elected ministers, enabling more effective control over our borders" Giving politicians the power to disapply human rights law for people they think their voters don’t like… What could go wrong? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sadly it seems clear that Labour are intent on losing the next election and heralding in a right wing government. We need Labour to start acting like Labour. Abandon this growth think tank concept and focus on key areas like reducing household bills, child poverty, clean air, crumbling schools, NHS🧵

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

Tree buds are beginning to open: vegetative buds with leaves and stems; flower buds with floral parts; mixed buds with leaves, stems, and floral parts. In many trees, all of this year's leaves were laid down last year, meaning that this year's growth was largely determined by last year's weather.

People say that Musk can be very intelligent in some respects and very stupid in others but the stupidity is now so glaring that I've forgotten the evidence for intelligence. I wonder how much of it was just great marketing all along.

Starmer must know that the minute he 'really' pushes back against Trump, the dictator will slap tariffs on the UK faster than the speed of light. Trump wants total loyalty and subservience from the US's 'allies', he just totally gets off on the control thing. It's quite revolting to watch 🤮

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for
