Cried today listening to a VM from a friend with Long Covid/ME whose life is now unrecognizable to me & to herself. The physical & cognitive cost of even watching a movie or reading a book is immense, all while working in an indifferent capitalist world & disbelieving society. Appreciate this piece.

Tom Watson’s move to Palantir is the latest sign of how far the rot has spread in UK politics. Like Blair, Cameron, Clegg, Mandelson, hired to open govt networks to companies and corporate capture of the state. They sell political capital built with public money. What do we get in return?

Tom Watson’s move to Palantir is the latest sign of how far the rot has spread in UK politics | Clive Lewis

When a former Labour deputy leader joins a firm built on surveillance and military targeting, it deepens public cynicism – and democracy depends on trust, says Labour MP Clive Lewis

Across the world, sometimes peaceful street protesters are cable tied and arrested, elsewhere, despite challenging behaviour, they are not. Inside the UN, Netanyahu can spill his mendacious messages (does he not know we have SEEN 'settler violence') in person, while Abbas cannot enter the US.

Datacentre are being foisted on people living in low/medium income areas, not in wealthy areas. Resulting in excessive use of water, energy; pollution and environmental damage. Very few long-term jobs are generated. Watch the Minister's reply.

Lewis, the COVID measures had profound impacts, of course. However, the extent of the damage was due to a decade of austerity and NHS cuts. The poverty gap is obscene and we were reactive, not proactive. Also, schools open vs closed was a false binary, the solution was to make them safe.

Almost total eclipse over the River Dart from opposite and just upstream of Old Mill Creek on 11th August 1999. Photos taken between 10.59 and 11.15. Small birds tumbled down through shrubs to roost, gulls took off en masse, flying downstream out to sea. Moon shadow rolled over like a thundercloud.

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.
