16/2/26. Scotland. ‘Backroom’ lobbying on Coul Links golf plan under fire. Scottish ministers privately urged to back plans for a golf course on a coastal wildlife site. This has been condemned as “backdoor lobbying that tries to bypass the rules” theferret.scot/backroom-lobby…

The Trump-Rubio admin is engineering a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. I’ve spoken with a few friends on the island over the past week, and they’re calling it “Gaza without bombs.” The medieval-style US siege is forcing schools to close. Transportation is growing scarce.

40% rise in UK supermarket food prices since 2020. It’s breaking people. Food is becoming unaffordable for so many people. And the supermarkets show record profits and pay farmers pittance for their food. They are fleecing farmers at the purchase and consumers at the sale.

Thames Water's reply to a customer @robJGray82 about sewage spewing into the street. "Hydraulic overload", they say. That of course translates as we spanked all the money we should have invested in the sewage system, paid it all to shareholders and managers, inflated salaries,

This is a vital post. Not only guzzling power but fresh water. A planetary boundary is being trashed as we speak. A grotesque abuse of finite resources.

“The government basically broke the law to please the Israel lobby." On Novara Live, @Kieran_Andrieu argues that the home office banned Palestine Action for “narrow, short-term benefits”, like currying favour with the arms industry.

Bitter_recriminations24 Ben Maguire MP Mark Seddon Unfortunately I was alive to see Thatcher privatise a debt free water board, its infrastructure intact and little or no problem with supply and little cross over pollution. The privatised ‘companies’ have took a wrecking ball to both infrastructure with billions of £ of debt.

Today 🇳🇴 and 84 other member states, joined Palestine in condemning Israel's measures aimed at expanding its unlawful presence in the West Bank. Such measures violate int law, undermine efforts for peace & stability in the region & jeopardize the prospect of ending the conflict.
