I can hardly find the words for this
This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

This must add to the case for a nationally televised @nebriefing.bsky.social. Be interesting to see what if any coverage it gets in the news when the BBC etc will be paying attention to Davos, Greenland etc.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:
“Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.”

If you’re worried about Greenland, prepare to be much more worried. Please listen to this
Thank you so much to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for inviting me onto his podcast. We talked about critical issues the media & political establishment is ignoring such as the extraordinarily dumb & dangerous UK defence deal with Peter Thiel’s Palantir
"Peter Thiel... the founder of this company, does not believe in democracy"

Merseysiders in my network. Did anyone attend the ill-fated Hope and Glory Festival in Liverpool in 2017 that had to be called off part-way through because it was so dangerous?
Keen to speak to anyone who was caught up in it for a new piece. Give me a shout, thanks!

also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?

not only is this an appalling take which attacks Starmer for the actions of a lunatic and not the lunatic, but also strays well beyond ‘unbiased’ reporting

If what is really going on here is a rapprochement between the US and Russia, then Canada is target Number 1. In which case, you definitely want to take Greenland first, preferably peacefully, before the world sees the game.

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

Why we should tax the super-rich:
Without people working in the public sector for the common good, such as (often poorly paid) childcare workers, teachers and NHS doctors and nurses, there would be no productive workforce to co-create the profits of the business owners
