Episode one of what will be an incredible series on the Bhopal Disaster. Give it a listen and check out GND Media's other podcast episodes if they've somehow passed you by.

There should be "a broader imperative to build a National Care Service, freely available to all who need it, whenever they need it, wherever they need it. This would be a care system that treats those with serious illnesses and disabilities not as burdens but as people whose lives have equal worth"

Instead of having a national debate on whether we should strip benefits from those not in work, I propose we debate whether we should strip citizenship from those who don't pay their taxes 👀

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year.

It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land.

It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells.

Israel has deliberately tried to make Gaza uninhabitable. This is genocide.
