Developers met ministers dozens of times over planning bill while ecologists were shut out Exclusive: Leading ecologists say warnings over threat to wildlife have been ignored in drive to build 1.5m new homes

This is not right, not how it should be. Money should not be the passport to influence.

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites

One thing to say: #AxeDrax

No. Cutting down trees, grinding them up, shipping them across the Atlantic and then burning them is NOT "green".

Gaza faces 'man-made' mass starvation due to Israeli aid blockade, World Health Organisation says Israel denies it is responsible for shortages of food - but aid groups have accused its government of creating "chaos, starvation, and death".

Feels like a good time to point out that starvation of a civilian populace is a war crime. By the very definition of genocide, the Israeli government is doing it. There is no defence, no deflection, the Israeli government is committing genocide while the world watches.
