🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:

“Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.”

"Collapse is no longer a distant possibility. A terrifying government report, forced into the light..by Freedom of Information requests, makes this clear.. Yet this is not only a political emergency. It’s a spiritual one: a crisis of meaning..of what we are willing – or unwilling – to face together"
"A spirituality that retreats into abstraction or private reassurance turns away from our embodied condition."

TLDR: Andrew passed Epstein lots of Trade/business confidential info when he (Andrew) was a British Trade Envoy (A terrible idea in the first place, obviously).
Anyone mind if I make the obvious point?: When will he be <prosecuted> for corruption, even treason (as Mandy should be)?
Pse RT to agree!

The way Chomsky supported Epstein is an absolute disgrace.
It is stark evidence of the troubling presence in Chomsky the man of awful, politically-vicious tendencies:
Chomsky to Epstein: there’s a “hysteria that has developed about the abuse of women”.

You assume the world’s most famous linguist knows the history of “hysteria”.

10,000 people signed our petition calling for climate resilience.
This piece explains why the Government’s response falls dangerously short — and what it reveals about flood risk, food security, and preparedness.

But they all seem so honest & competent!
NEW: Reform UK’s flagship council, Kent, has been accused of telling a “blatant lie” after its claim of nearly £40m in savings on net zero were found to be based on hypothetical projects for which there was no documentation.

Share. Please read - is not very long and clearly written.
This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face
This is the UK security assessment that the government tried to bury: ecosystem collapse is a national security threat.

Prediction 1:
There will soon be a poll in which Labour place FIFTH.
#Mandy
#Epstein
If I’m right, it will be without any precedent in the entire history of British politics.

Prediction 2: Starmer will resign or be toppled this year, probably straight after the May elections.

If this was tv show the plot would be too crass to commission.

One of broligarchy sacking Pulitzer Prize winners to foster misinformation and plain stupidly at the time when our very earth systems are in dire trouble.
