Can't believe there's a literal HOLOCAUST being fueled & normalised by the so called democratic West, fascism is on the rise, we're at late stage capitalism/imperialism & on the brink of climate collapse & extinction... & they've got us arguing about who uses which toilet. You couldn't write it 🫠😅

BREAKING & BIG: Today in PARIS, citizens voted in a referendum to PEDESTRIANIZE 500 MORE of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by city leaders to create people-places, curb car usage, and improve air quality. 66% of Parisians voted in favour of the measure, official results showed!

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried. This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership. Cities are a result of choices.

Sewage pollution and E coli in Boat Race water. River Thames has E coli levels three times above the threshold for poor bathing water status. All due to privatisation of water, sewage dumping, profiteering, high dividends, low investment. poor regulation. End the nightmare. Nationalise.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Last week I met one of Scope's storytellers, Jean, who has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Jean told me about her current experiences with PIP, UC, and the Access to Work scheme, and how the govt's cuts would leave her unable to feed herself properly, and at risk of becoming homeless.

“Reeves is right to call growth our only hope. But Brexit is a great drag on that ambition. Even if the UK schmoozes itself into avoiding Trump’s v worst tariffs, the EU is still our biggest market” Denialism about the damage of Brexit is the biggest drag of all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thames Water wants to be spared billions of pounds of costs and fines over the next 5 years. TW ripped off customers, dumped sewage in rivers, neglected investment, borrowed money to pay dividends. Laws must apply. No public bailout. Let it go bankrupt. Nationalise for nominal sum.

Labour absolutely need to backtrack on plans to cut benefits. Disabled individuals are already struggling. It's already far too hard to access support, especially for "hidden disabilities", such as autism. Even before cuts come in they are increasing stress and fear. www.bigissue.com/opinion/disa...
