The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Thank you.

‘Absurd’: decent homes standard for England’s private renters will not be enforced until 2035 Campaigners say government is letting ‘landlords drag their feet’ and ‘denying renters the most basic standards’

Labour's excuse: the timeline would give “social landlords in particular the time" ... so they don't meet even the Labour "decent homes" standard already? Or could it be those rich private donors who just want to delay?

Square image. Dark background with a red carpet running into the distance. On the left is Malcolm Offord, shown using the provided portrait, wearing a blue suit and glasses, holding the edge of the red carpet as if presenting it. On the right is Donald Trump in a dark suit with a red tie, smiling and gesturing forward. Camera flashes and photographers appear in the background, suggesting spectacle and publicity.

The only thing we should be rolling out to Trump is contempt.
