A mother in Gaza holds her starving child, who’s spine and ribs protrude through their tiny back. Most of the child’s hair has fallen out. The child’s lower half is dressed in a black bin bag.

High water bills, filthy rivers – and now drought. This is England's great artificial water crisis of 2025 | George Monbiot In its refusal to nationalise water, it’s clear the government operates in the interests of private capital and not of the country, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

How do you ensure a nation fails to cope with drought? Privatise its water system.

Almost everyone wants our water renationalised. Almost everyone, that is, except the government.

Please see this film. Yes, at times it’s a hard watch, but it has to be. It’s also indescribably beautiful and compelling and filled with hope. Our oceans are our lungs, our life force, and they can recover much quicker than we think. The time to act is now! #Ocean #Conservation #DavidAttenborough
