Officials in Gaza say at least 500 buildings, already weakened by Israel’s two-year-long war, are now at risk of collapsing because of a powerful storm.

Heavy rain and strong winds have brought down at least a dozen buildings in the Strip so far.

The storm has made conditions worse for many families who have already been displaced more than once.

This is a good description of how EU functions, but it can still be compressed. The layers are:

Legislative:
- national parliaments
- national governments
- European Parliament
- EU Council (made of natl gvmt ministers)
- EU Commission (appointed by Council and approved by Parliament)

Judicial similarly has national and European level, as do the central banks.

RE: zirk.us/@ChrisMayLA6/115707983…

further proof that #starmer is out of step with the UK people - and must go


Increasingly the UK is being required to choose; are we Europeans or are we in partnership with the USA?

Many of us may feel European, but our political class (and right now especially our Govt.) when pushed to choose, seem to prefer to focus on transatlantic relations rather than rebuilding the relations across the channel.

Its increasingly clear this is very much the wrong choice....

there must be one or two intelligent people left in uk labour...
in reply to Glyn Moody

You'll need to name them & hint why they are better before I will even contemplate your assertion. Starmer and Reeves are the least-worst available option.

in reply to Simon Phipps

I don't claim deep political knowledge about MPs, only that starmer's approach is manifestly not working. I'm sure lots of people have lots of opinions about who would be better...
in reply to Glyn Moody

What were you expecting? The Tories left a depleted civil service, most public service under the control of their cronies, the law rigged to maintain crony control and the books way out of balance. That sort of stuff takes at least a full parliament to address.

All I have heard from alt-Labour so far is a do-what's-popular-and-hang-the-costs attitude which is going to make things worse. If there's someone better tell me and I will go look but so far there is no-one.

@avaragado

in reply to Simon Phipps

you are right about the legacy, but what I find unacceptable is that starmer has moved towards reform substantially, failed to show any moral courage on gaza, is still terrified of brexit and has been feeble on climate crisis. IOW, he has failed to use the huge majority for change we gave him. for that, he must go. and this isn't just me: many people I talk to online and off feel the same.
in reply to Glyn Moody

I agree that he's been extremely disappointing and if there’s a good alternative then by all means they should jettison him. But that person has to move away from Reform, and closer to the EU, and be stronger on the climate, and actually support trans people and migrants, and is there someone in the party who would do that? Sadiq Khan, perhaps, but he's not an MP.
in reply to David Smith

indeed, he would seem a good candidate; and he could become an MP if labour wanted that, once a seat comes up

SHOCKING: Over 60,000 African penguins have STARVED to death because of disappearing sardines.

How much longer will destructive fishing be allowed to empty our seas of fish that ENTIRE ecosystems depend on?

Happy to support Greenpeace since the infamous attack on Rainbow Warrior.
You do a lot very important things, however, you are outnumbered. Your amazing action cannot withstand globalisation :( And it is not just "the industry" you fight with... consuming nature of humanity is the key enemy :(
Although, do not give on your actions
in reply to Greenpeace International

This is not a mystery or bad luck, it is a result of choices people keep defending. If an industry wipes out food chains and we still call it normal business, something is seriously broken.

The wordy postscript should have just read /s and left it at that.

It's obviously there because millions of ppl still can't look reality in the face. Eg:

Day after day, Baloo paces and rocks in distress, his spirit broken from over two decades of solitary confinement.

For “food,” Baloo is tossed cornflakes and lemonade. Children poke at him with sticks between his bars. Sometimes, people even give him alcohol. This isn’t the life any bear should live. It’s the only life Baloo has known.

Compassionate individuals from around the world are working to send Baloo to our sanctuary, Libearty.

in reply to anna_lillith 🇺🇦🌱🐖

The law is on our side. Since 2005, private individuals have been banned from possessing bears in Romania, but the ski resort owner obtained an exception. Despite this, it’s clear that Baloo’s current conditions are no life for the wild and majestic bear that he is.

Millions of Friends Association (AMP) in Romania, is ready to care for Baloo. With 69 acres of lush woodland, meadows, and ponds, Baloo could finally live his life in peace alongside other rescued bears.

"It felt like a part of my soul died."

Now Keira is one of many Greenlandic families living on the Danish mainland who are fighting to get their children returned to them after they were removed by social services.

In such cases, babies and children were taken away after parental competency tests - known in Denmark as FKUs - were used to help assess whether they were fit to be parents.
