Really exciting development to reduce need to use fertilizers and irrigation - wonderful
1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It makes me so angry that WS is treading the path of so many Tory health secretaries before him - peddling the lie that poor mental health and rises in cases of neuro-diversity is about 'over-patholigising' when really he's looking to win points by reducing the welfare bill.

Wes Streeting claims there are too many diagnoses of anxiety, autism, and ADHD. But when people are oppressed by neoliberalism, and others cannot comply with its demand for uniformity, he is really seeking to destroy evidence of dissent for his toxic worldview. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/12...

Genocide in plain sight - will no-one take action?
Israel says it will open the Rafah crossing so people inside Gaza can leave. Why won't Israel allow Palestinians who've already left to use the crossing to return? Why won't Israel allow humanitarian agencies to use the crossing to bring aid into Gaza?
