It seems so obvious that I struggle to understand how people fail to see it. Starmer tells us that *WE* have to stop Reform by voting Labour, whereas *HE* could do it by introducing PR. But then we'd lose any remaining incentive to vote for his party.

People talk about “sacrifices” of being vegan are the food you’ll no longer eat - cheese, chocolate, cream, eggs…. No one talks about the real sacrifices, the social implications. Becoming unpopular for not tolerating abuse. The bullying. The hostility.

Ngl, drives me mad everyone goes on about how bad AI is for water use, pollution and fossil fuels, but then they don’t want to talk about animal agriculture. They’ll boast they don’t use AI because of the environment whilst eating a beef burger.

Now is not the time to be quiet. It isn’t a ceasefire. It’s a stealth fire. Trump and his board of warmongers intend to use Gaza as a template. Replace the UN. Turbo charge the colonisation. Delete your rights.

It’s funny how they call it “unproductive” land because it isn’t exploitable for high yield, yet it tends to often be the land most productive for ecosystem services - water and pollution absorption, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, clean air, clean water, soil health…
