"We're on the edge of a mass extinction."
Such stark images from David Attenboroughs Planet Earth.
Yet we have both the Government & Labour on about economic growth as more important than sustaining life. As if it's not the obsession with growth destroying it.

Starmer: Labour ‘won’t turn on spending taps’
Labour criticise Tories for reduced living standards… and then proposes the exact same strategy.
@TheGreenParty will always stand against austerity. Only investment in people will get us out of this mess.

I'd say "What's the point of Labour?"
But the answer is clearer by the day.
Labour are for big business and to make multi millionaires and billionaires richer.
Whilst at the same time, inequality becomes wider and wider.
But why when we've already got the Conservatives?
Exclusive:
Rachel Reeves to unveil British infrastructure council with some of UK's biggest companies as she seeks to make labour party of business
Lloyds, Santander, HSBC, Fidelity & Phoenix all said to be on board along with huge pension companies

Pretty rare to see someone passionately making the case for HS2 - and laughing off the idea that £100bn is a large amount of money when it really is not compared to the returns.
"If I had my way, we'd be talking not about HS2 being thin-sliced, but about HS3, HS4 and HS5."
Andy Haldane, former Bank of England chief economist, speaks to @heliaebrahimi about his support for HS2 and expansion of similar projects.

This could be big. 6 young people from Portugal are taking 32 European countries (inc UK) to court, demanding national climate policies in line with human rights. Young people deserve a liveable future – it's time Govts worked towards creating one. @Y4CJ_

Are we going to get this obsequious fawning every year?
A democratic socialist party should be calling for the abolition of the monarchy, along with the hereditary class system.
Too soon? It will ALWAYS be too soon.

It’s hard to see a way back for NHS England…
Demand is off the charts…
Private healthcare now has direct and unlimited access to NHS funds…
And the media and opposition are too weak or complicit to shine a light on it.
It’s hard not to see this as the end of the NHS in 🏴

The climate devastation we are seeing worldwide shows why we must urgently slash fossil fuel use.
So we need to end the huge influence that fossil fuel giants have on our politics.
My Bill banning MPs from receiving any oil and gas funding is now live!

Attacks on public health policies have all too readily morphed into antisemitic conspiracy theories. I've seen it happen repeatedly: anti-vaxx fictions becoming a portal through which far right ideologies can penetrate alternative movements. 🧵

A look at tomorrow's front page 🗞️
MISSING: The principles of senior Labour politicians
Enemy of the people.
Sir Keir Starmer has publicly committed the Labour Party to further privatisation of the NHS
He says nothing is off limits, and the NHS should not be treated as a shrine
He has repeated the views of his Blairite Shadow Health Secretary, Wes Streeting wsws.org/en/articles/2023/01…
