Immigration stats are out. As predicted: sharp decreases everywhere except boats. Work visas down 37% including down by 81% (eighty one percent) for Health & Social Care Worker visas specifically. Is this good? www.gov.uk/government/s...

Great to see more conversation on the impact of forever chemicals on women's bodies. Plastics and chemicals are disrupting cycles, causing reproductive disorders and cancers, getting absorbed by the placenta and breast milk. Yet hardly anyone is talking about it.

Here I stand in Islamabad, Pakistan, where children, Afghan refugees, and the poorest wade through mountains of waste every day, scavenging for recyclables. This is what “recycling” really looks like. 🧵

We know the Greek coastguard systematically illegally pushes back migrant boats & leaves them adrift without engines in international waters. It’s still horrific to hear them cynically & deliberately try to palm off the Pylos ship with 650-800 people who ended up drowned, anywhere but here #r4today

The rich get to buy safety and opportunity while migrants from the global majority drown, get detained and are turned away. We always knew-borders are only for the poor.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

Recycling is the single greatest scam of the modern era. Sold to us as the solution, but in reality, it’s a corporate smokescreen to shift responsibility onto consumers while they keep churning out plastic. We don’t need better recycling—we need to stop plastic at the source!

What the government can’t afford: ❌Lifting children out of poverty ❌Disability benefits ❌Compensation for WASPI women ❌Winter fuel allowance What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military. Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.
