Thank you #Wales & Welsh Government for standing up for lobsters, crabs & crustaceans 🦞 🦀 And for declaring that boiling lobsters alive is just “not an acceptable method of slaughter" 👏 The government is now considering legislation to protect lobsters, crabs l & crustaceans from this cruel practice

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Palestine is not a tragedy without an author. What is being done to Palestinians is targeted, state-sponsored, and deliberate. The rape of Amal ‘Ajlouni’s dignity in front of her children was an order carried out by a soldier who knew exactly what she was doing.
