In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.
Thousands of people in the UK took to the streets to call out the corrupt US and Israel on their illegal war of aggression in Iran.
Thousands of people in Athens marched on the US embassy against the US and Israel’s illegal war of aggression on Iran.
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
Iran's Jews feeling fear and heartbreak as US-Israeli strikes rain down
'They would deny us autonomy over our bodies, remove reproductive rights and disenfranchise us. It’s alarming to witness how fast things are moving. We must fight hard not to lose the gains we have made to determine our own lives.' @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

I think the devil will not have me damn’d, lest the oil that’s in me should set hell on fire
Any one remember the Iran Iraq War? The ‘West’ gave Saddam Hussein every help in their proxy war against Iran, but Iran was undefeated
How to make a war deeply unpopular.

Made me laugh.
As Iceland plans to resume talks on becoming an EU member, note that it will be the smallest EU member with just 400,000 people.
Cyprus: 1.3 million
Luxembourg: 700,000
Malta: 600,000
And Scotland can’t possibly join?

I may have my frustrations and disappointments about Starmer as a domestic politician, but internationally, I think he’s serious, responsible and trying to do his best for U.K. in unbelievably complex int’l environment, despite treasonous ghouls like Farage doing their best to undermine him.
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
One of the very best actors of modern times.
So, Labour involves us in America’s aggression and simultaneously plans to make refugee status temporary.
Does politics really have to be this dangerous and cruel? They take such unforgivable risks with people’s lives.

No, Shabana Mahmood, people seeing failing state support and crumbing infrastructure don't have either legitimate concerns or a legitimate grievance against immigrants, refugees or asylum seekers.
They have a legitimate grievance against governments.
Farage cannot cope with his own unpopularity. At all.
With the media’s help and huge foreign donations, his ego has been massaged into such a state of entitlement that he thinks he’s answerable to no one and simply owed power.
It’s become a national imperative to prove him wrong.
If you could distill disapointment into an elixir
It would be called Kier Starmer
UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, PM says
UPDATE: Hezbollah enters #Iran war, reportedly firing missiles at Israel from South Lebanon. Israel now retaliating across Lebanon including in Dahiye (S. Beirut).
The 2024 ceasefire was already shaky but this is what many in Lebanon hoped to avoid. Latest: www.al-monitor.com/live-blog/tr...
Dear world leaders…please, say NO to Trump & Netanyahu (who reportedly fled to Germany yesterday)
Within hours of UK PM Keir Starmer allowing US to use their bases, the UK’s Akrotiri air force base in Cyprus was reportedly hit by a drone.

this policy is cruel and will make minimal difference to immigration numbers (as refugees are only a small % of overall immigrants, and most of them come from countries that aren't going to be safe any time soon [e.g. eritrea;afghanistan]).
It will actively harm integration and finding work.

Vance: ‘No chance’ any Iran strikes would lead to long war in Middle East
Absolutely. Just like there was no chance that Putin’s special military exercise in the Ukraine would take more than two or three days.
Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK.
The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party.
Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.
Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.
Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.
America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.
This is what integrity looks like.
A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.
Much in evidence at the moment
