You have to ask yourself: if our economic system actively destroys the biosphere *and* fails to meet most people's basic needs, then what is actually the point?

The global food economy is complex and touches all aspects. Currently, it's a leading driver of climate change, exploits land and labour, destroys ecosystems and dispossesses Indigenous peoples of their land/sustenance, whilst producing cheap food for the Global North. A thread:

In absolute terms, the consumption emissions of the richest 10% in 2030 are set to nearly amount to the global total in 2030 compatible with 1.5C (18Gt) The poorest 90% are set to only just exceed that level This is the #inequality behind the #emissionsgap

I’m excited to share this new paper we have out, “Imperialist appropriation in the world economy”. The results confirm that the global North relies on a massive net appropriation of resources and labour from the South. The figures are quite staggering. 🧵sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

.John Maguire Are BBC Breakfast journalists not aware of the IPCC report published 2 days ago which clearly says that we need to reach peak greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 *the latest* and need to reduce them by 48% by 2030? Why was Kwasi Kwarteng not asked about this today?

Can't believe coronation street referred to using an egg donor as becoming a surrogate. That's so damaging to the TTC and donor conceived community. #corrie #coronationstreet

A lot of friends of Ministers who made their fortunes during the pandemic from the Government's sleazy and illegal VIP lane really, really want you to vote Conservative today. Just saying.

I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste: ♻️5% recycled 🌍8% sent abroad 🔥57% burnt ⛰️30% sent to landfill This is shocking, right?! Jo Churchill Rebecca Pow

.BBC Morning Live what a missed opportunity this morning to mention that anonymous gamete donors can now revoke their anonymity by contacting the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority (HFEA). I'm very disappointed. The HFEA sadly doesn't do any awareness raising about this so it's up to the media to inform people.

People least responsible for the #ClimateCrisis are suffering impacts well beyond what can be adapted to. The world must stand with these communities & help them recover with #LossAndDamage finance now. I’ve signed Elizabeth’s letter. Will you?

Do Meg Hillier & Carol_Culley OBE know how dangerous anti-climate State Financial Officers Foundation is? Or why does #FederatedHermes co-sponsor both the "green investing" event they're speaking at AND climate criminals? Info at bit.ly/fhypocrisy #FederatedHypocrisy

Seuraa megaketju Junnilasta. Pyydän jakamaan tätä, koska tämä paljastaa Junnilan natsiyhteyksien olevan syvemmät, kuin mitä mediassa on esitetty. Junnila on todellisuudessa itse väkivaltaista extremismiä kannattava uusnatsi ja viimeisin natsisymppaus tuli tänään.
