"Drink-related aggression, violence against women, more deaths from alcohol"

But as long as GDP goes up right?

If we're lucky, the violence will increase medical bills & property repairs, boosting GDP further...

Chasing growth for the sake of growth is madness

Some great insight into what was a positive and hopeful @greenparty.org.uk conference in my wonderful hometown of sunny, sunny Bournemouth.

Thanks @owenjones.bsky.social for coming.

The Green wave is well and truly rising.

We know Palestinian lives are valued less than Israelis. Now we have a precise exchange rate.

🇵🇸

Spain has implemented an arms embargo against Israel, showing how it’s done. Every other state that does not follow suit, and which continues to supply arms to the Zionists, must be understood as not only complicit but a partner in the genocide.

Finally coming to the end of my long, overland return journey to Oslo for the excellent ISEE-Degrowth 2025 conference. Over 2000km and no issues...until I set foot in the UK and the train is cancelled. Congrats @gwr.com

Just another example of how fucked our economic system is

Continued credit to @owenjones.bsky.social for his continued coverage of the horrific genocide playing out in Gaza. A much needed voice amongst a complicit mainstream. Respect and solidarity 🇵🇸

Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

It's 240km from Cardiff to London. A one-way economy class ticket costs £58, or €70.

This is a really excellent podcast on the history of GDP; how it fails to measure what it's inventor intended, the quest for alternatives and the systemic issues preventing them taking hold. Worth a listen.
