Go-ahead for 70 homes in Brailsford despite flooding concerns The plans were previously rejected due to flooding, drainage and highways safety concerns.

The response of this idiot government to climate breakdown is to ignore expert advice, kowtow to house builders, and give the go-ahead to build more homes in areas of flood risk

Just dismal

Relentless sun and ruthless populists: how the climate crisis will change the next 20 years Former diplomat Arthur Snell says a heating planet is accelerating conflict and migration – and fostering a new age of empire. Democracies are dangerously unprepared, he warns

Nothing especially new here

In particular, this book seems to throw up the same problem as other books on climate breakdown written by non-climate scientists

There is no real appreciation of the fact that prehistorification of our climate is now unstoppable

"We didn't start the war but we're finishing it" Hegseth

Orwell would be so proud

If you think we are living in a wild west world, this is nothing compared to what #climate breakdown is set to bring

Nasty little wars, even nastier big wars, biblical migration, civil strife, plummeting food supplies and clean water availability, and ever more extreme weather

All coming to you...

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer

UK planes 'are in the sky' in Middle East, Starmer says Sir Keir Starmer says protections for British bases and personnel have been stepped up to their highest level.

By refusing to condemn the illegal attacks on Iran, Trump's British lapdog makes it clear that he supports a world where anything goes, where might is right, and wherein fascists and warmongers can do whatever they want

Number of workers on zero-hours contracts hits record high There has been a 181,000 increase in the number of zero-hours contracts since Labour was elected.

"Proponents have argued [they] help support young people into their first jobs and offer flexibility around education or childcare"

This has always been bollox and an excuse to trash workers rights and pay as little as possible

ALL zero hour contracts must be banned

‘Tinderbox’ UK may be one shock away from food riots, experts say Weakened food security could tip into unrest after a cyber-attack, extreme weather or conflict, analysis finds

I have been warning about this for years

Extreme weather ensured the UK lost a year's worth of bread in just the last 5 years due to crop losses

Fewer children in England to get EHCPs by 2035 under Send overhaul New special educational needs regime to result in far fewer children being given education, health and care plans

.....that 50 UK families are together worth 2/3 of a TRILLION £, earned on the backs of UK workers
