At last! Beaver releases into wild to be allowed in England for first time in centuries

Big congrats to the rewilders, nature-friendly farmers, & campaigners who’ve fought for this for so long.

And credit where it’s due - thanks to Labour for pressing go!

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps.

This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare.
Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing.

Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law.

If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

Some thoughts while returning on the Eurostar from Paris.
1. It’s a cliché but nonetheless true that the intellectual culture in France reminds us what we are missing in the UK. 🧵

The campaign for a shorter working week grows as 200 UK employers sign up for permanent four-day working week.

"The 9-5, 5 day working week was invented 100 years ago and is no longer fit for purpose. We are long overdue an update"

When a government tells us, within the course of one week, that we can't have new hospitals but must have new runways, you know that it is not working on our behalf, but on behalf of economic power.
