💔A family shouldn't have to choose between buying food and staying healthy. But in Gaza, my family faces this struggle every day. We need food to eat, clean water to drink, and cleaning supplies to protect ourselves from disease while living in a tent. Even these ordinary necessities have become difficult for us to afford. 💔 I'm asking for help because these needs are real, and they cannot simply be put aside. If you can help my family, please consider donating: chuffed.org/project/189257-a…

🚨BREAKING NEWS The regulator has provisionally approved more water bill increases. This comes at a time when we are dealing with hosepipe bans; 10,000 homes don't have water in London; and only 14% of our rivers are in good ecological status Privatisation has failed. Nationalise water.

This is an important new paper. When we allocate responsibility for emissions, it's normally in terms of consumption. We tally up direct household emissions (eg, from household energy use) plus the emissions embodied in all the stuff that a household consumes. But this creates a problem, because households do not control the conditions under which that stuff is produced. The energy and production techniques, which determine the emissions content of goods and services, is decided by those who own the means of production - mostly the capitalist class, and to some extent governments. Scholars have argued that owners should therefore be held responsible for emissions from production they control, given they have the power to produce differently, such as by using renewable energy, or by investing in less damaging forms of production. When we account for private ownership-based emissions, together with government ownership-based emissions and direct household emissions, the richest 1% are responsible for 30% of global emissions, and the richest 10% are together responsible for a staggering 60%. These are the people who are driving climate breakdown. Climate change is class war. But these results should be understood as conservative. I would argue that even direct household emissions should be assessed at least in part in terms of energy-system ownership. When households cook or heat water for showers, they usually have little control over the source of the energy, i.e., whether it is fossil fuels or renewables. That is decided by the people who own the energy system. The fact that so much of our energy system is still provided by fossil fuels is not the fault of the working classes, it is the fault of those who own and control the energy system - which is mostly capitalists, and to some extent governments (which are in turn often captured by the capitalist class). So households may be responsible for the quantity of energy they use, but they cannot reasonably be held responsible for the additional emissions produced by fossil-fuel sources if renewable sources could be provided instead. Perhaps one methodological solution here would be to allocate emissions to households *as if* their energy use was provided by currently available renewables, and allocate the rest to the owners of the energy system.

The UK is involved, as always...

The point of these attacks is twofold: 1. Flood people with nonsense until it feels true. 2. Grind people down until they lose hope. We know the answer to that: fight back - with hope & a plan for change. There is absolutely no way they win this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Why are so many oil refineries catching fire “coincidently” all over the world? This is bizarre.

Olly Robbins' bombshell evidence so far: * The Cabinet Office suggested there was no need to vet Mandelson *at all* * No 10 applied 'constant pressure' on Mandelson to approve Mandelson's appointment and took a 'dismissive' attitude to vetting * Mandelson was given access to the FCDO building, to low classification IT and to 'higher classification briefings' before he was granted security clearance * No 10 showed **no interest** in the actual vetting. The entire focus was on getting Mandelson to Washington as quickly as possible

This video of Israel soldiers casually throwing what appears to be a Palestinian youth off from the roof of a building has shocked the world. Look how comfortable they walk away after throwing the youth to his death. As if they have done it 100s of times before.
