Huge drop in UK cereal harvest compared to 1984 - the first year of records
We have been able to make up shortfalls with imports, but as harvests are hit worldwide, countries will hang on to what they have

Governments are borrowing money from you, then wondering why the economy will not grow.
Here is the part nobody tells you:
A government deficit creates money. But when the government sells bonds to households and firms, they use money they already have to buy them.
The deficit creates money. The bond sale cancels it.
So growth stalls, debt rises, and politicians respond by cutting the things that actually make an economy work.
This is not fiscal discipline.
It is an economic straitjacket.

And a question for the young Lawrence: from 1909 he backed Zionist settlement in Palestine on the grounds that the land would be better farmed. Why did the great champion of Arab freedom never see the Palestinians as a nation? Were they simply not his kind of Arab?

Why is Labour Friends of Israel not led by Labour members?
The pro-Israel group does not have to declare its funders because majority of board are not Labour party members👇

Look at what's happening here...
After the hottest year on record a party of fossil fuel backed climate sceptics is celebrating Labour's backtracking.
Slashing funding for warmer homes, approving fossil fuel extraction, caving on EVs - the far right love it!

Israel continues to restrict the entry of humanitarian supplies and essentials into Gaza, with worsening weather and inadequate shelter compounding the crisis.
Asked what Britain is doing about it, Middle East minister Stephen Doughty says the UK continues to “urge” Israel to lift restrictions.

Challenge your local @UKLabour MP to take a look at this graph and defend their party's position on the proscription of Palestine Action.
We dare you.

Britain’s Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Richard Knighton, was on Sky News yesterday discussing the UK-US military relationship and Russia’s threat to world peace.
What he wasn’t asked about was his role as Chief of the RAF in overseeing British spy flights over Gaza, sharing intelligence with Israel as it carried out a genocide.

Andy Burnham has appointed the US consultancy giant BCG into the heart of Downing Street to draw up his 10 Year Plan for the country.
Last year they worked with Donald Trump on his plan for a 'Gaza riviera' to permanently ethnically cleanse Gaza.
There are no words.

We launched this petition 2 weeks ago.
Now, we are just 2,000 signatures away from forcing a debate in Parliament.
Will you be one of 100,000 who helped exposed the truth of Britain’s complicity in genocide?

This should not surprise Britain.
We have already give Israel permission to launch their own Holocaust against the Palestinians of Gaza.
They are just looking for an acceptable final solution.
This is winter in Gaza because Israel had blocked the entry of not just aid, but essentials for life.
Tents are not allowed in because the poles are considered dual use.
950k need new shelters. Hundreds of thousands are at high risk of flooding.
Palestinians in Gaza need life essentials to enter. This is collective punishment and a crime in intl law.

Although nuclear war could always wipe us out, the main risks are climate change, mass extinction, and resource depletion due to overconsumption. Also pollution, pandemics.

“Confirmation of 2026 as England’s worst cereal harvest on record means that 4 of the 5 worst harvests have now occurred since 2020 following extreme weather.”
Meanwhile, the US just reported the smallest wheat harvest since the 1970s.
It's official
Climate breakdown made the 2026 UK harvest the worst on record
The 4 worst UK harvests ever have happened since 2020, leading to the loss of grain equivalent to more than a year's worth of bread supply
And it won't stop there

How many more devastating thresholds must we push ourselves towards before world takes decisive action

I have seen this bald man on things talking a lot. Inexplicably I have never once seen anyone tell him to shut the fuck up or call him an idiot.

“There is room certainly for being more woke.”

Illegal? Absolutely.
Police doing anything about it? Of course not. Don't be ridiculous.
Welcome to post-Maidan Ukraine, where the far right gets to play dress-up Nazis with impunity — as long as they defend Zelensky’s regime and drag working-class men off the streets to serve as cannon fodder in NATO’s proxy war.
Slava Ukraini!?
