Very moving and appropriate analogy of being in a relationship with a loved one who is suffering from addiction. Thank you Clive.
🔥 Former lawyer Tim Crosland outside the Royal Courts of Justice earlier today. 💬 "The real legacy of Just Stop Oil can't be assessed against the policies of a failing and addicted state or a collapsing empire. Just Stop Oil's real legacy is something much more important."

No juries, no justice, no trust. The Government say removing juries will speed up courts but estimates show 2 year back logs may only be reduced by a week. The right to a fair trial is more important. In Sheffield campaigners say: People need juries & people need justice!

BREAKING Following an attempt by Mr Justice Johnson to prosecute Palestine Action barrister for “contempt of court” after his closing speech mentioned the legal principle known as “jury Equity”, Rajiv Menon has won his appeal. A short🧵

Dear @BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News @5_News 🔔This is all across local news. The government hasn't yet briefed the public on the severe threats from climate change and nature loss, so civil society is taking matters into its own hands. Articles from last 10 days👇
What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Across the UK, communities are watching The People’s Emergency Briefing & discussing what to do next. Find a screening → nebriefing.org/screening-map

All civilisations collapse for basically the same reason: they could have responded to reality but they didn't. Our civilisation is no different as we face the consequences of runaway climate collapse: we can but we won't. “New Orleans is in a terminal condition, and we need to be clear with the patient that it is terminal,” he said. “There is an opportunity for palliative care, we can transition people and the economy. We can get ahead of this.” But, he added, “no politician wants to first give this terminal diagnosis. They will speak about it behind closed doors, but never in public.” theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

If Science is King then there is no Hope But Science is not King, God is King. And God is Love and Love does not need Hope And only once this is realised can there be Hope. (What is written here should not be taken "literally" - it is "poetic" - because only the "poetic" can be of help in the End times). theguardian.com/environment/…

🗣️”May I remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence. Even the lack of willpower to help humanity is a sick and sinister form of violence.” #CorettaScottKing #Coretta99 #DearCoretta #MLK #TheKingCenter

The genocide in Gaza is not in the past tense. The blockade, starvation, and killing continue—this is still the present reality. Lord, have mercy.

According to numerous reports, 4 billion deaths this century is now a distinct possibility, as a result of climate and ecological breakdown. The latest science shows us that we are on track to hit 3.0 °C above pre-industrial levels by 2050! We are 4 Billion Dead. And we are fighting for Life. Join us on March 7th to be a part of this new chapter in history. 4billiondead.org/4bd-launch-…

The more urgent it's become, the more threatening it's become to vested interests, and the more they've turned away. The insanity of the greed-driven mind.

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT "THE CLIMATE" ANYMORE? Because it has gone away? No, because it is so bad that if we talked about it we would realise that we have a binary choice: dismantle capitalism OR universal death. Not as a matter of ideology but as an objective matter of civilisational survival. Or, as they say, 2 2=4 even if everyone pretends it equals 5. In other words, consider this: "Over the past 50 years the average time between billion-dollar severe events has dropped from 82 days in the 1980s to 16-19 days during the last decade 2015-2024. In 2025 it was 10 days between billion-dollar disasters." Go and do the projection over the next 2 decades on that! counterpunch.org/2026/02/20/…

I recently met the families of Palestine Action prisoners who are on hunger strike. I am extremely concerned about their health and the treatment they're facing. The Justice Secretary should meet with the lawyers representing the hunger strikers and put an end to this dangerous situation.
