This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems

This is laudable. However, please do not include Hackney Marshes as a 'wild swimming' destination. The banks of the river are a SMINC. Even if sewage is reduced, the water is shallow and highly contaminated with leachates from bomb rubble buried underneath the marshes ⚠️

Ever wonder why so few athletes in North America have spoken about Israel's genocide in Gaza?
We did too... so we asked some to find out.
Answers include "fear of losing sponsorships," "the McCarthyist response from government,” and “Zionists gaslighting and doxxing people."
