Christ. There’s a scientist on @bbcnews talking about how microplastics are causing coronary heart disease - and it’s not just the plastics but the chemicals that come with them. 4000 of the 16,000 chemicals involved with plastic production are known to be harmful to human health

Plastics 'crisis' is costing $1.5tn in global deaths from heart failure to dementia new report confirms Less than 10% of plastic is recycled Plastic set to triple to more than a billion tonnes a year by 2060 More than 16,000 chemicals used in plastics phys.org/news/2025-08-p…

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan. And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

A startling info graphic from the United Nations - demonstrating the dire consequences of half a degree. Are you ready to say good bye to 30% of all marine life? There is no time to waste. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #oceans

EVERY CHILD UNDER 5 is at risk of death because of Israel’s starvation campaign. It’s time for an armed intervention to stop Israel. For the sake of humanity and what is good and sacred in the world, they must be stopped.

“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it’s not. It is this world. And what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras. One that casts a stain on humanity that will endure for generations.”

Also the deliberate depoliticisation of the plastic crisis. Keeping the public busy with recycling while producing so much more than can ever be recycled.

At my local café in Islington this morning, the barista and a few customers ended up in a lively discussion about tax policy and what they want from Jeremy Corbyn’s new party. A few days in and the promise of a new party has ordinary people engaging in politics again.

Nearly 400 people in Pakistan have died in flash floods over the last week, and more than 700 since late June—another climate catastrophe, and one that has received relatively little attention outside Pakistan. This week for ⁦Foreign Policy⁩. foreignpolicy.com/2025/08/20/pak…

So glad to see plastic on the agenda. I hope plastic reduction becomes a key policy issue this party engages with, beyond a talking point.

Today is a day of national and international shame. This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving. How can food be blocked yet arms still flow?

Today: Israel has killed 4 journalists in its attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, bringing the total to 244 since October 2023. They are: – Hossam Al-Masri (Reuters) – Mohamad Salama (Al Jazeera) – Maryam Abu Daqqa (Independent Arabia and AP) – Muath Abu Taha (NBC)

The floods wiping out villages & peri urban settlements expose the class war that the militarised ruling elite has waged against the rural & urban poor for decades. This is not a ‘natural’ calamity. RUDA, DHA, Park View City, etc are man-made disasters. dawn.com/news/1938032/t…

"Nobody past or present has done more for the people of Palestine in the British parliament than Jeremy Corbyn, and I want to put that on record" Richard Burgon MP at the Gaza Tribunal

No country save Yemen and Iran has done anything to stop this. Where are the Arabs? Where are the Asians? This needs military intervention

I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza. "Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”

The Pakistani people will never accept a two-state surrender. There is only one Palestine and it is occupied by Israel, a criminal genocidal entity.

My passport prohibits me from entering Israel because the Pakistan I belong to has a duty to the Palestinian people. A Pakistan that forsakes that moral and sacred obligation is an embarrassment and a humiliation.

Tony Blair is a war criminal.
