Mass starvation spreading across Gaza, aid agencies warn, as pressure on Israel grows – Middle East crisis live More than 100 aid agencies, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Oxfam, say ‘our colleagues and those we serve are wasting away’ Palestine Red Crescent says the situation in Gaza is “only getting worse”, with spokesperson Nebal Farsakh calling it an “unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe”. Farsakh said in a video posted to X on Tuesday that there has been no food, clean water or medicine entering the Gaza Strip for more than four months. This has resulted in a catastrophe where people are literally starving to death. More people are being admitted to hospitals with malnutrition especially among children, pregnant women and the elderly. Continue reading...

Mass starvation spreading across Gaza, aid agencies warn, as pressure on Israel grows – Middle East crisis live

We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

Want to import toxic chemicals into Britain with scant scrutiny? Labour says: go right ahead | George Monbiot Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Tory fantasy of a post-Brexit bonfire of regulations is coming true. Our bodies and ecosystems will pay the price, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Wes Streeting is talking dangerous nonsense on obesity

Wes Streeting says cutting 50 calories a day will solve obesity and save the NHS. That’s bad politics and bad science. In this video, I take apart his arguments and ask whether he’s naive or deliberately complicit in weakening our NHS.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

AI boom means regulator cannot predict future water shortages in England Datacentres, which do not have to report amount of water used to cool servers, leave Environment Agency with no idea of shortfalls

Interestingly, data centres that use electricity from fossil fuels or *nuclear* use more water for electric turbine generators than server cooling.

BBC On Gaza-Israel: One Story, Double Standards - Centre For Media Monitoring

"Despite Gaza suffering 34x more casualties than Israel, BBC gave Israeli deaths 33 times more coverage per fatality" and that's not the worst of it.

The British national public broadcaster is systematically biased against Palestinians in Gaza war coverage.

The Guardian is part of the problem As The Guardian notes this morning: Rachel Reeves is braced for revised forecasts by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) to blow a £20bn hole in her tax and spending plans before the autumn bu...

The Guardian is discussing a supposed crisis for Rachael Reeves today, when no such crisis exists. Whether she meets her fiscal rules is irrelevant. Poverty, poor housing, and suffering children are the realities they should be talking about. Why aren't they? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06...

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil.

Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

When I toured the Faroe Islands many years ago I got about in this little boat 👇.

Now there are road tunnels between islands.

Why won't the British Government invest in Scotland's island infrastructure, alongside yet more trains and buses for England?

Since becoming an MP, Nigel Farage has managed to fit in nine trips to the US, has held down twelve jobs, which earned him nearly £1million, but has been too busy to hold any surgeries for people in Clacton who actually voted for him.
