Reading a utopia almost feels like an act of defiance today. Somehow managed to have missed reading this one before. A thought for the hive mind: would a podcast on utopias be of interest? I think there's a desperate need to think about more positive possibilities for society today.....

In my column today I argue that, unbelievably, Labour are worse on environmental issues than the Conservatives.

Our rivers, our wildlife, the air we breathe: the government is sacrificing all to the insatiable god of GDP – and mocking our objections, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

1/Ok here goes: I find it hard to believe that Keir Starmer is ignorant of just how much trouble we're in because of climate breakdown and ecological degredation. The MOD have been doing disaster scenarios on this for years and have been planning scenarios for supply chain interruptions etc.

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

It's funny but whenever I go to the woods for an extended period I start to drop out of hyperactive 21st century consciousness and enter a more timeless space. I also start feeling a deep sense of peace. Something about the wood seems to flush low-level anxiety from the brain.
