BREAKING: Huge news: The contents of a secret U.K. Govt report on Britain’s ‘critical systems’ and their grave vulnerability have just now been made public by the TIMES, for the very first time. The report was stark in its findings, incl crucially: “Britain’s food security…could be “at strategic risk of catastrophic failure” by 2030”. Food was only one of the critical systems analysed in the report and found to be at risk of collapse from the end of the decade, >unless< collectively we change course to a safer, more resilient path.

I'll never forget how the Israelis bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza in October 2023 and the world was shocked and horrified. Israel denied it, saying they would never commit such a heinous crime. Then they went on to bomb every single hospital in Gaza. Now they are doing the same in Lebanon and Iran. The Israelis have bombed at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon. In Iran, the US and Israel have bombed 25 hospitals and medical centres. In Lebanon, they are committing double tap strikes to kill medics and rescue workers, just as they did in Gaza. Medics are forced to delay their responses. These monsters are normalizing war crimes that were once unthinkable.

"The authors predicted that chronic pressures on Britain’s food supply, such as worsening droughts and floods, could combine with geopolitical crises to produce shocks to the food system." The contents of a secret U.K. Govt report on Britain’s ‘critical systems’ have been revealed - and they're alarming! We need to change course to a #SAFER, more resilient path. thetimes.com/article/381266…

Britain’s food & water supply at risk of CATASTROPHIC FAILURE BY 2030. My son will still be in high school. The government buried this report for 2 critical years. Whoever they’re protecting, it’s certainly not your family. WE ARE GOING TO LOSE EVERYTHING.

Exclusive from @patrickkmaguire and @oliver_wright * Labour's internal MRP polling is said to be apocalyptic, in the capital and beyond. Labour is on course to lose *every one* of the 50 seats it holds in Sunderland, home to Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary. Most are predicted to go to Reform * London, where all councils are up for election, is expected to be especially challenging. There are fears that the Greens could make significant gains in Camden, where Starmer’s seat is located, as well as Hackney, Lewisham and Lambeth * Labour officials are so concerned by the threat now posed by the Greens in the central London councils they have long won by landslides that they have diverted almost all the party’s campaigning resources to contests in the heart of the capital * One minister said that a bad night in London would be “existential” for ­Labour, given how many of its members were based there. The party leaders are well aware that Labour MPs are holding 59 out of the capital’s 75 parliamentary seats * The minister added that the elections looked set to show that there were “no safe seats” for Labour, adding that they feared it was going to be a “bloodbath”. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Police have found no evidence of criminality in Gorton & Denton byelection after claims by Nigel Farage it was “a victory for cheating”. Reform UK had asked Greater Manchester police to investigate allegations of corrupt voting after Green Party won. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Wow 90.3% renewables on a 113% generation 🤯 As we’re generating more than we need we’re exporting 9.2% to Europe and refilling pumped storage with another 4.2% 🙂

@LukeTryl Another massive factor: Your Party taking off briefly (attracting vast numbers of supporters) and then rapidly imploding (such that most of those supporters were suddenly looking for somewhere to go).

On circumstance. Luck & timing clearly matter to a large degree and two key dimensions meant this moment was ripe for Green success. First massive dissatisfaction with the status quo and a system that feels rigged. Second specific progressive disillusionment with Labour

🧵Was thinking similar earlier on Polanski. Broadly three factors for leadership success, two in your control, one not: - Circumstance - An Offer/prescription that meets the circumstance - Personality to cut through & sell the offer All three present for the Greens under Polanski
Aaron Bastani@AaronBastani

Regularly polling 2nd, a by-election win, 200,000 plus members and projected by the FT to gain 400+ councillors in May. Zack Polanski is easily having the best first year of any political leader in recent British history. Probably ever.

Assuming accelerating warming since 1980, the planet will cross 2.0°C sometime around 2036-2037. As for where we are right now with respect to 1.5°C, check your rear-view mirror.

Greater Manchester Police say they have no evidence of family voting after an extensive investigation, including speaking to Democracy Volunteers and seizing CCTV: We’ve concluded our investigation into alleged ‘family voting’ at last month’s Gorton and Denton by-election, finding no evidence of any intent to influence or refrain any person from voting. Our investigation into alleged influencing of voters at a polling booth (under Section 62C Representation of the People Act 1983 (Ballot Secrecy Act 2023)) began after a criminal report from the Reform UK party following a public statement made by independent electoral observers at Democracy Volunteers. We have spoken to the four Democracy Volunteers observers present at polling stations on the day of the by-election (26 February) who have shared with us their eyewitness account. This includes some instances of more than one voter going into a booth at the same time, and instances of people looking over the shoulder of voters. The information they have provided to us estimates this may have happened on 32 occasions across 15 polling stations. The observers do not allege any verbal instruction or physical conduct that indicated one person was directing or coercing another regarding how to vote. This is a crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed. Our investigation team, led by an experienced senior investigating officer, spoke to all four volunteers from Democracy Volunteers as part of our enquiries – obtaining a copy of their observations. We also spoke to the Presiding Officers at 15 stations as well as the Acting Returning Officer, none of whom received any reports other than from Democracy Volunteers. We have received no further criminal reports. For us to investigate allegations, we require an understanding of who the potential suspects may be, and evidence that may corroborate eyewitness accounts. For an investigation to meet the criminal threshold for prosecution, we require admissible evidence of intent or action aimed at influencing the vote. We have asked Democracy Volunteers for descriptions of those alleged to be involved, and timings on when these are believed to have occurred. These details were not documented by observers or the complainant, and we have not been provided with any identities or descriptions to pursue. The absence of this information means there is no remaining reasonable line of enquiry. This also includes limitations with CCTV as an absence of descriptions, and votes not being time-stamped, meaning we are not able to identify individuals from footage. We have approached all 45 polling stations in the Gorton and Denton constituency to ask for CCTV from the day. Forty-one of those polling stations told us they did not have CCTV activated in the building as it would have compromised the secrecy of the vote during polling day, in line with advice given. We have seized and viewed CCTV from three of the remaining four polling stations. These are three polling station that Democracy Volunteers visited. We have spoken to the Presiding Officer from each one. However, these stations do not show any evidence of anyone directing or coercing another regarding how to vote – the crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed. There is no evidence to suggest any intent to influence or refrain a person from voting as stated in the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023. We have been liaising with the Electoral Commission, who we have shared our findings with. We have also shared our findings with the Returning Officer. We have updated the complainant about the work of our investigation and the conclusion we have reached.
