A waiting list of thousands, and just five new homes for social rent: this city shows the depth of Britain’s housing crisis | John Harris Liverpool was once praised for its tolerance, but housing shortages are driving fearful, unsettling behaviours – and people are blaming outsiders, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Dear peeps, please read this. I'm crying. The housing situation in the UK for the less well off is horribly, cruelly fucked.

As someone from a council house background who's always rented, the fact I have a low cost private rental flat is down to sheer luck!

Yes. I saw an announcement the other day that the proportion of affordable homes in London is likely to be slashed to a litle over half of what was promised

yep. The developers don't want to do it, not enough profit. Must be bankrolling labour like they did the tories

the developers aren't interested in building affordable housing, basically. not enuf profit

Demonised is the right word. And I can relate to what you say.

Me too.

it's diabolical.

Better late than never, I guess. What took you so long, Labour?

I hope you're right.

You just have to hope that's the next step. But yes, I agree.

Well. Tbh, that just doesn't work without addressing the source of the problems we face, ie. unbridled, runaway juggernaut extractive capitalism, which is being given even more power by the world's govt's, with a very few exceptions. We are way past individual sacrifices making a difference.

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’ Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

Dear friends, please read this. 😔

We owe it to our one and only living planet, not to turn away. To be uninformed is to be powerless indeed. We have to face reality, no matter how painful, to have ANY hope at all of driving the positive change we need.

good on you too! ♥️

Please, let the cease fire hold, and become a true peace 🕊️ I do not feel very optimistic, but not to hope would be to give evil total power over my mind.

Millions, billions, even, of us, all over the world, praying for Gaza, for Palestine, for peace ♥️ 🇪🇭

After pointing out that she's an immigrant Joanna Lumley asks why we don't fix the problems that create asylum seekers and address climate change

Ditto! ♥️

Well, I'm pretty sure that would be the case. As with most of the other world leaders and bigwigs. It's an environmental nightmare.

Hello! I'm not on a huge amount these days.... I try to consume less news, but right now it's impossible. It's way too 'end of days' out there. Makes Brexit feel like a picnic, tbh. In my whole life, I've never experienced anything like what we're living through. It's really frightening, isn't it

What? Brit here. Oh my god. 🔥

This is a big deal.

Good to know. The ones in my family aren't, unfortunately.

Squeak eek... um... oh all right then. Etc.

Well, from what I read so far, too many are now going in the opposite direction, encouraged by Trump. And emissions weren't going down anyway... still on the same trajectory as we were before renewables set in. We just use more and more energy in total. It's not looking good.
