If I was trying to come up with the best possible method for breeding new strains of a zoonotic virus, I’m not sure anything could beat this:

In 1994, I saw a postcard captioned 'Britain in 2030'. It was a cartoon of the police apprehending people living in vehicles, saying 'you're under arrest for not owning or renting property.'
It was funny.
Now it's happening.

I've just watched #ICouldNeverGoVegan . A genuinely brilliant film. Clever, engaging, funny, infuriating and - for the first time I've ever seen on screen - covering all the essential issues, while getting the facts right. A must watch.

Meanwhile, industrial-scale tax evaders are more likely to receive a seat in the House of Lords than a fine.

🚨Outsourcing NHS operations to private hospitals has caused deaths.

The real solution to waiting lists is to invest in the NHS and pay NHS staff.

In November, I wrote a column estimating how much it would cost to restore public services. Answer: v roughly £100bn a year: theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Where would it come from? Richard Murphy has the answers in this essential article. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…. Read them together.

Now we need an inquiry into the systematic mistreatment and abuse of ME/CFS patients, a massive scandal affecting far greater numbers of people than the poorly-evidenced Gender Identity Development Services (important as that issue is).
Where's the major government investigation?…

Channel 4 News I urge anyone interested in the British countryside to watch this video by George Monbiot:

As National Parks turn 75, a new report highlights only 6% of their land is recorded as being in good health for nature - with the Yorkshire Dales having less tree cover than York and waterways across these special places heavily polluted by sewage released from storm overflows.

She didn't listen to anyone ... unless they worked for a dark money junktank.

What is all this economic activity, all this environmental destruction, all this frenetic elbowing past each other *for*, if it is simply making us miserable?

🚨Stop Scrolling!

Let's pause & reflect a minute about what this shocking picture of Greta Thunberg 's arrest tells us about the current state of #climate politics.

A short 🧵on some key lessons we can take from this image

The horror in #Gaza will haunt the Western governments that have supported it for many years to come, just as the Iraq War has done. Biden, Sunak and others will forever be associated with the backing - and weapons - they supplied to Netanyahu.

George Monbiot Actually George, are you sure which blue tick it is? I just checked (😬) and Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) spp, this grotesque, bloated, blue tick blood sucker lives its whole life cycle gorging on its host until dropping off to lay eggs

The argument is we're fuelling a collapse in birth rates which threatens the future of Western civilisation.

Very normal newspaper.
