George Monibot, "We have a Chancellor and. Prime Minister who seem to have no vision at all, except this thing called growth, GDP growth" "GDP should not be used as a measure of national welfare" #BBCQT

Goodbye John Duran and thanks for all the fun #avfc

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . . www.history.com/this-day-in-...

Becoming increasingly worried about the anti-environmental rhetoric coming from the Chancellor and No.10. Falling for the fallacy that protecting the environment is what is holding up growth.

Very funny www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great performance from Man Utd

Arsenal could play for a week and never score against Newcastle in open play

Joelinton is such a dirty player. Can’t believe McCoist keeps defending him

Lambs resist calls to close slaughterhouse

Nice summary piece here of where the water industry in England is right now, in a pivotal week for it. news.sky.com/story/five-c...

Dunk done by Sarr for a second time. Slam Dunk

Lots of empty seats at the Amex

Huge thanks to everyone who’s chipped in to make LBD interventions happen this year. We’re 100% funded by small donations & refuse big donors to protect us from becoming reliant on any individual source. Wanna help? Link in bio👆

Important and deserved win for Villa. Looking forward to heading to Villa Park on Saturday for the game against the Saints #avfc

Wow Liverpool all over a very poor Man City. Goal no surprise. Exquisite from Salah

Not a single person has been put on trial for killing 72 people at Grenfell. But they can lock up non-violent protestors for 21 years, because they are a 'danger'.

My 2 articles on Degrowth are the culmination of years of work, not just mine - please do share widely.🙏 GDP growth will inevitably collapse on a planet with finite resources. Here's how we can manage that in a life-improving way, not profit for Billionaires: [gift link] medium.com/the-new-clim...

Sport may be a blunt tool of social change, but it’s time to take a stand against Israel www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/n...

If you liked Part I, then here's Degrowth: Part II. Economic growth will (and sorry if this is news to you) collapse. This is inevitable on a planet with finite resources. We can manage that in a life-improving way, or let the Far Right pick over the bones. [gift link] medium.com/the-new-clim...

This article has been weeks - but also years - in the making. The time has come for #Degrowth. GDP growth at-all-costs is killing us, leading to runaway climate change & fascism. We have to consider other, better options. Fortunately, they do exist. [Gift link] medium.com/the-new-clim...
