168 children died in school with 14 teachers on the 1st day of US attacks on #Iran.
For the #US some children count - like the 36 children horribly killed on October 7th by Hamas - and some don't.
After WW2, there was an effort - unreached - to ensure all children mattered. What happened to that?

Faisal Islam: Trump comments may have eased oil price spiral, but havoc remains
It has been the most volatile day of oil trading in world history, and there is much still to play out.
Iran seems to be outplaying Trump by ensuring that we fossil fuel dependent countries have another surge in prices & recession.
Imagine if the Conservatives instead of blocking wind farm development had taken advantage of 0.25 interest rates to invest in green energy!

💩The scandal of privatised water is an issue Labour can’t wash away.
We’ve been working with @weownit.org.uk and councillors like @jamesmcash.bsky.social to pass motions across the region; because the public, not shareholders, should decide on our water.
Agree? actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll
The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.
"The YouGov weekly voting intention poll puts Reform UK on 23%, down one, Greens on 21%, up four, Labour and the Tories tied on 16, both down two, and the Lib Dems unchanged on 14."

Example below. To believe that the current government is doing well on green issues is, I'm afraid, delusional.

British voters don’t like Trump so let @Reform & #Farage ape #MAGA even on racist dog whistles because it’s going to give serious blow back at some point.

We uncovered the redacted climate report the government didn’t want you to see
YouTube video by ITV News
Don’t look here!
ITV expose of the suppressed - redacted - government report on national security threat of biodiversity loss.
Ummm isn’t it their job to keep us safe?

It’s a vote against the divisive approach of Labour against Starmerism, McSweeny. It’s for real change . It’s for dealing with climate change.
It s seismic moment and feels like a move against the spirit of division and Brexit …

The @greenparty.org.uk s win is a vote for hope, for equality against poverty, a vote for Gaza. It’s against hatred and for community. It’s for real people not professional politicians. Young people mobilised in the constituency yesterday. Wake up UK this is the beginning of the end of polarisation

Zack Polanski, "When did you first become political?"
Hannah Spencer, "The big moment was during covid where inequality got so much bigger so quickly"
"The very richest were doing incredibly well out of an emergency"
"And the people who were making the rules were breaking the rules"

I have no particular knowledge nor interest in Palantir, but as a public procurement lawyer looking closely at the public domain documents about the MoD-Palantir contracts, there is something concerning going on.
Two successive high value tenders without advertisements or competition?
Really?

A blast from the past - @windrushwasp.bsky.social s Ash Smith supporting public ownership of water last year.
Ash is the hero of the harrowing drama Dirty Business on #channel4 right now in which the water companies behave like criminal organisations putting profit above even children’s lives.

Sign the Petition
Return the Water Industry to Public Ownership
What an amazing & upsetting drama Dirty Business on C4 was tonight.
I remember watching the film Dark Waters and feeling lucky to live in the UK where flagrant profiteering never got as extreme as in the US.
What a dupe!

Dirty Business
Shocking real-life drama about the muck in our water and a corporate scandal
So excited to watch this, this evening. Hoping it will have the heft of the ITV post office drama. Most of the public want water in public ownership but our LABOUR government differs. Why??
