When three people on top own more wealth than the bottom half of America … When a handful of corporations control the economy … When you get one vote but billionaires can spend hundreds of millions of dollars to elect the candidate of their choice … That’s oligarchy.

“I am aware this is a dream, that instead of a Brexit we will have a Breturn. Perhaps I am labouring under an illusion. But I'd rather be an optimist and harbour these dreams in my heart. Sometimes they come true in politics” Donald Tusk

The pandemic risk is staring us in the face. We have no universal flu vaccine. We have surveillance systems that function like smoke detectors with dead batteries. And we have a world unwilling to imagine that the next pandemic won’t wait for us to catch up. 10/10

It'd be a good time to be open, and for scientists to make this far more overt and clear, that the all out pursuit of growth, under the neoliberal doctrine, is not compatible with survivability, sustainability, and existing within planetary boundaries. https://t.co/0oXdFG3r8p 21/

60 people died today in climate change related floods in Valencia.
I woke up seeing 60+ people are dead, thinking Valencia will be a turning point, will dominate the news, wake everybody up to climate change. It’s not though is it. The budget is dominating reporting in the UK. Public don’t care. We are determined to send our children over a
