Remember the Soviet joke about a man who always goes to look at the papers but never buys one. The news agent asks him what he's looking for and he says, "An obituary" and the news agent points out that they're always in the back section. "This one won't be".

What Carney said about NATO & trade was hugely important, but it’s what he said about truth that’s even more so.

Plastic pellets are often mistaken for fish eggs + eaten by sea creatures. Because plastic is so absorbent, it soaks up pollutants from water which are consumed along with them. These beads were being used at a wastewater treatment plant so who knows what they could have absorbed.

The more layers we peel away the more we see that most of our problems have the same root cause.
Climate knowledge has been taken hostage to prevent climate action.
“It didn’t happen by accident. It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies.”

The government published its planning and infrastructure bill in March. Before and after the bill’s publication the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, and housing minister Matthew Pennycook have met dozens of developers in numerous meetings.
