For capital, the purpose of production is not primarily to meet needs or achieve social progress, much less to deliver on any ecological goals. It's to maximise/accumulate profit. It requires perpetual growth – ever increasing aggregate production, regardless of whether it is necessary or harmful.

Weeks into 2026, the UK is still experiencing relentless rain, with storms refusing to budge and the soil saturated.

This is the cost of ignoring how fast the climate is changing.

In modern genocide, they make the ovens portable. 2842 lives.

Morgan McSweeney and his downfall reveal what the Starmer project always was.

A project defined by kneeling before wealth, seeking power for its own sake, ridding Labour of any principle or morality.

It is an irredeemably corrupt project which was always doomed.

Thing is, McSweeney can say: "I take full responsibility...," but he can't, can he... It wasn't his job to appoint anyone, that was Starmer...

This is just another attempt to draw a line under the scandal of appointing a man who associated with a convicted child rapist. That was Starmer's decision.

Even before the Mandelson scandal, and the current spectacle of a tiny number of Peers blocking the will of the majority of elected MPs, it was clear the HoL needs urgent reform. Labour promised to do so in their 2024 manifesto. So why won't the govt get to work on this?

As @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social explains, in the UK, shifts to healthy and sustainable plant-rich diets can potentially free an area almost as big as Scotland, that could be used for nature restoration and commodities: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvjJ...
Agreed. I'd also say that UK can reduce the pressure on nature overseas in two ways:

1) Reduce the amount of land we use overseas for food and commodities.

2) Face the crisis and take emergency action on climate and nature, inspiring similar action elsewhere.
