We’re going to court - by Peter Geoghegan and Lucas Amin

#UK #environment #climate #pollution #greenwashing

Former Conservative energy minister Chris Skidmore has weighed in on Democracy for Sale’s side to call for the release of a confidential document that paved the way for the green-lighting of a contentious coal mine.

For more than a year, we have been trying to force the government to publish the evidence and rationale provided to minister Michael Gove before he gave the go-ahead to build a new “net zero” coal mine at Whitehaven, in Cumbria.

Food giants are strangling Britain’s farmers and consumers. What’s the solution? Break them up

When #British farmers protested outside the Houses of Parliament earlier this year, they sent 49 scarecrows, after a survey had found that 49% of UK fruit and vegetable farmers said they expected to go bust within a year. The scarecrows stood in for real farmers, who are mostly too afraid to speak out.

One farmer told campaigners they had grown 60 tonnes of salad potatoes for a large UK supermarket, only for the supermarket to suddenly cancel the order, leaving the farmer “financially screwed”. The arbitrary power that supermarkets wield instils fear, which the supermarkets leverage to impose take-it-or-leave-it fees and other unfair conditions on farmers.

The problem is our monopolised food system.

Think of it as a vast profit machine shaped like an hourglass, with many food producers at the top, millions of consumers at the bottom, and a few dominant firms – such as giant supermarkets or global food traders – clustered at its narrowing neck, siphoning a cut from the passing traffic. This power ripples through global supply chains.

#Israeli Jets Bomb Sites in #Yemen (removed the rest of the BS title of NYT).

The strike was in retaliation for a drone attack launched from Yemen a day earlier, which evaded Israel’s defenses and hit a building in Tel Aviv, killing one person.

I guess Yemen is now officially on the list of the countries Israel has bombed to defend it's ongoing genocide.

Who wants to bet #US, #UK #KSA and #UAE will follow?

Fatal strategic flaws’: first report of UK Covid inquiry pinpoints serious errors of state

Health secretaries failed to amend contingency planning before Covid killed more than 230,000

But as Hallett predicted the arrival of another pandemic, possibly more transmissible and lethal, in the near to medium future, the Nuffield Trust health thinktank warned that neither the NHS nor social care services were “in a much more resilient state and in some areas they are weaker”.

#Starmer puts Israel lobbyists in government

Keir Starmer has discreetly appointed two former Israel #lobbyists, Ruth Anderson and Gillian Merron, both members of the House of Lords, to key positions in government.

Ruth Anderson (formerly Smeeth) has been installed as the government's whip in the House of Lords.

Anderson worked as director of public affairs at the largest Israel lobby group in the UK, BICOM. She also headed the Israeli Embassy's proxy, the Jewish Labour Movement.

Gillian Merron has been appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Patient Safety and Life Sciences in the Department of Health and Social Care. Merron headed the Israel lobby group, the British Board of Deputies, between 2014 and 2021.

Both have taken trips to meet with Israeli leaders during the Gaza genocide and pledge their support.
