When we import food, we also import the water used to grow it. Too often that means poorer nations lose out on water they need. We must rethink Britain’s food security.

This is how we're all going to die, innit?

Unfixed anthropogenic climate change and a CDC in the hands of a mad eugenicist crank causes an out of control pandemic of human flesh-eating screwworm …
A row is brewing in the US over the first human case of the flesh-eating screwworm in Maryland, Reuters reports. Agriculture officials say the CDC is not being forthcoming about the case. Screwworms normally infect livestock.

An outbreak in Texas would cost the economy more than a billion dollars.

I wonder if the Columbia leadership realizes (or cares) how much blowback there might be from *within* the academy.

This post, from a Cornell Law professor, is worth reading:

If you see footage from some of these it's embarrassing how small they are. The one in Southampton looked like 20 people with flags. The Telegraph is trying to whip up division with this sort of reporting.
This is a bit of a atretch/hope: there were 5 protests, with the largest two being up to 300 people, a total of around a thousand or so people.

🟥 The Associated Press, AFP, BBC News and Reuters on Thursday issued this joint statement about journalists in Gaza: 

We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families.

Stamer's government keeps calling the situation in Gaza ‘intolerable’ and yet continue to tolerate it.

Recognising the state of Palestine is a bare minimum that governments across the world can do to help bring an end to the genocide.

All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs have signed this letter.
A *third* of the Commons has called on the PM to recognise Palestine as a state. Never seen anything quite like this.

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London.

We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.
