Brazil’s agribusiness isn’t just progress, it’s unchecked deforestation, ☠️ on our plates, exploited labour & land hoarded by a few. While massive profits line the pockets of a minority, the people & the environment are left to pay the price in destruction, sickness & inequality.

Even Annabel’s, one of London’s most exclusive members’ clubs, claims to have its eyes on the Amazon rainforest. Because nothing says ‘saving the planet’ quite like cocktails under a crystal chandelier.

As expected, Brazil’s president Lula only partially vetoed the “devastation bill” creating new environmental licensing rules. Out of nearly 400 provisions, a mere 63 were blocked, an act of cowardice & a disgrace to the country!. #cop30

Once again, Lula is set to betray the Amazon. A partial veto on the “devastation bill” is expected, just enough to quiet outrage, not enough to confront the ruralista lobby. His cowardice isn’t just a blow to Brazil, it’s a global disgrace. Tomorrow is decision day!.

Since the first big finds in the 1940s, Brazil’s politicians have vowed all of its people would benefit. But in some oil towns, one in four people still live below the poverty line

6 August 1945: Hiroshima was devastated by the first atomic bomb, followed just days later by Nagasaki on 9 August. These acts of unimaginable destruction must never be repeated. The world must remember and never allow such atrocities to happen again!.

Being a resident doctor in the UK is an incredibly demanding job. My daughter endures grueling 10–12 hour shifts in the high-pressure environment of A&E. Yet, despite the sacrifice, this profession remains profoundly underpaid& undervalued. I wish she had chosen a different path!.
