Those who start wars to make money while polluting the planet are the WORST of humanity. Despicable. They don’t just spill blood,they spill poison into the very Earth that feeds us all. Humans are the ONLY animals on Earth that will shit on its own dinner.

Dundee Uni staff are taking strike action to fight compulsory redundancies and cuts. I stand firmly with them. Staff and students did not cause this crisis, but they’re being asked to pay the price for it. Solidarity with Dundee UCU, UOD Students Against Cuts and all those standing with them. ✊

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

It's Climate Week, yet the Tories want us to double down on oil and gas. Jackdaw and Rosebank won’t solve the challenges facing the North East. We need a plan for good, secure jobs and investment in our green economy, with communities having a real stake. We need to change course.
