Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

What’s this about mayors for Scottish cities (Reporting Scotland, BBC1)?! We had provosts not mayors in Scotland. Anyway, given the size of the Scottish population, there might be more effective ways to devolve power to local communities, something I think is desirable.

Water is life, not a luxury. When greed controls nature, rivers run dry, forests disappear, wildlife dies, and families are left with nothing. Profit should never come before people or the planet. The choices we make today will decide who has a future tomorrow.

For information: "Once the oil is drilled from the North Sea, it is owned by the private businesses and multinational energy corporations (like BP, Shell, and private-equity-backed firms) that extract it." Drilling more oil doesn't make us more energy secure.

UK income tax personal allowance frozen at £12,570 since 2021. If increased in line with inflation, it would be £16,048 for 2026/27. As a result, in 2026/27 someone earning £17,000 will pay additional £696 in income tax and £278 in national insurance. All because govts appease the rich.
