Many of today's Palestinians are actually descendants of the ancient Jewish people. Some of their oppressors are not. Make it make sense!

Make your voice heard. There is a consultation open until October 29tn over what could be the world's biggest data centre in Chapelcross in Dumfries and Galloway. Developer CX Power’s own documentation confirms that the habitat is used by bats, roe deer and small burrowing mammals.

9/ And yet they still steal. Just like under Peter the Great, who was told: "If you jail all the embezzlers, there will be no one left in the state." This is Russia's scourge, one that no tsar, no president, no ruler has been able to overcome.

2/ The Ukraine war has provided unprecedented opportunities for Russian officials to enrich themselves, which has been reflected in a massive increase in corruption cases involving government officials and their collaborators in private and state-owned enterprises.

1/ Russia has experienced a huge increase in corruption cases over the last five years, with over 50,000 cases being heard in that time, 3 trillion rubles ($35 billion) in stolen assets being recovered, and a 500% increase in the number of top officials being arrested. ⬇️

The government has rejected an application by North Yorkshire Council, the University of York and Drax Group to turn the latter's power station into an AI Growth Zone. Had it been accepted, the status would have fast-tracked Drax's plans for a 1.2GW data centre.

Deforestation is not “development.” It is the destruction of a living system that cools the climate, feeds rivers, and holds species found nowhere else. Call the clearing what it is.

When you clear a forest in the Congo Basin, you don't just cut wood. You wipe out gorillas, forest elephants, pangolins, and thousands of species we haven't even named yet. Extinction is not development.

They call it development. But development doesn't trigger droughts, starve farmers, and drive gorillas to extinction. That's ecocide. #CongoBasin

The science is not ambiguous. A forest does not “make way” for progress. It is the progress: rainfall, carbon storage, food, and species that exist nowhere else. Clear the Congo Basin and you export drought to the people least able to absorb it.

Deforestation is not development. It turns carbon sinks into carbon sources, wipes out gorillas and forest elephants, and helps dry out the farms downstream. In 2025, non-fire primary forest loss in the DRC hit a record.
