Promoting economic growth appears to be Labour’s sole remaining principle. "Trashing the living world to stimulate growth is like sacrificing virgins to secure a good harvest: it’s cruel, ignorant and ineffective. If anything, it will have the opposite effect."
It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power.

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

For the first time since WWII an extreme right party is #1 in the German polls. Anti-fascist economic policy is urgently needed.
Instead the new coalition agenda entails:
- cut profit tax
- end 8 hr workday
- open tap for defense, austerity for the rest
- weaken social security

It should be obvious by now that Netanyahu won't stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza (and perhaps the West Bank) has been murdered, maimed or expelled. He wants it all. Governments like ours should cut off all military equipment, diplomatic support and other relations until the genocide ends.

Not true. Given growth hasn't been improving people's lives in the UK, and the utter lack of evidence that growth can be sufficiently decoupled from it's ecological impacts, another way forward is to promote a post-growth economy that prioritises wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries.
Promoting green growth does not make you an ‘eco-nutter’. It’s the only way forward
Heading off the environmental crisis and growing the economy are not at odds. They are two sides of a coin – as our politicians should realise

REPORTER: How confident are you that you can keep the ceasefire in Gaza?
TRUMP: I'm not confident. That's not our war. It's their war ... Gaza is interesting. It's a phenomenal location.

Palestinian babies are not spontaneously freezing to death. They are being deliberately subjected to conditions calculated to terminate life. In other words, they are being murdered. The cause of death is not the cold, but the genocide being perpetrated by Israel and the US.
