Repost from @resistancerangers.bsky.social on IG- I know we're about to declare war with Iran, and there are so many fronts to this continuing shitzkrieg, but this one, this right here, hurts my little raccoon soul most. For the love of all that's green and blue, keep calling.

England could face water shortages within a decade.
Since 1989 population, homes increased - 25 reservoirs sold off, no new ones, no desalination plants, 1 trillion liters of water a year lost to leaks.
Companies borrowed to pay dividends. No forward planning.
Disaster made by privatisation.

What do you reckon the most common type of business in the UK is?
It’s not restaurants or hairdressers or shops which enhance our communities, it’s buy-to-let housing firms. They now outnumber takeaways almost four to one.

The UK Government must hold firm on not licensing huge new oilfields like Rosebank.
It must also back the call from some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries for a Fossil Fuel Treaty: a globally just exit plan away from coal, oil and gas.
