5. If you listen only to corporations, you’re a dupe. Of course, they'll justify the harmful things they want. Of course, they'll tell you that rules are too onerous, taxes too high and subsidies too low. It takes spectacular political naivety to take them at their word. ...
Oh, hello Mr Starmer.
Oh, hello Mr Starmer.

4. Forgive me if I'm wrong about this, but I have a vague memory of hearing about a political system that enacts the will of the people, not the will of corporations. I have a feeling there was a name for it, perhaps beginning with D? But it all seems a long time ago, so I might have misremembered.

3. Why not? Well, Keir Starmer has been so good as to explain it: these policies came about as a result of his "conversations with leading CEOs”. This is a bill for corporations, not for us. How long will it be before we discover that it was drafted by a Tufton Street junktank?

2. It's an extraordinary thing, this bill, drafted with no input whatever from anyone with environmental expertise. In fact, inputs from professional bodies and scientists working on environmental issues appear to have been systematically struck down. The government does not want this scrutiny.

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot
The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It pains me to say this as the son of a Holocaust survivor who has lectured on genocide prevention at Auschwitz where my mom lost dozens of her family, but Israel is seeking ‘lebensraum’ to create a Greater Israel & is using genocide & ethnic cleansing to do so with the active support of the West

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

Bit surprised there hasn't been more interest in the below, especially given the current academies debate. And this seeming to be a part, as the piece and recent investigations argue, of "a move of spending away from classrooms, and towards highly-paid managers".

Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris #climate agreement is an act of environmental vandalism & shows what the fossil fuel industry can buy with their $75m donation to his campaign. But it’s important to remember leaders across US are already taking stronger climate action & the economic case is clear

Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse?
