To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth | George Monbiot

The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

$5.9bn = the amount spent annually on protecting and restoring forests

$409bn = the amount of subsidies going to agriculture industries destroying forests

Anyone else see the problem here?

The Guardian: "'Dismal' health of world's forests is threat to humanity, report warns. Financial institutions pouring money into land clearance and undermining efforts to stop destruction, says Climate Focus. Jonathan Watts, 14th Oct."

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu A 1-year delay of the EU Deforestation Law #EUDR means 31,536,000 more trees lost- harming forests, people, and the climate, damaging investments and innovation and destroying the EU’s credibility.

#StopVonDelaying. Keep your promises: fully implement the law as planned.
