Gross disparity between coverage of luxury yaught sinking and refugees dying regularly in Mediterranean (3,041 last year). All such deaths are tragic but the difference in coverage is dystopian.

Israel detonating thousands of bombs in Lebanon knowing that this will harm and kill children, civilians, medics and passersby going about their daily lives in markets and on the street is in fact an act of terrorism.

This, I co-wrote with Marianne Brown, argues the UK-EU trade deal - being negotiated this summer - should be used to close the border for soil imports/exports. Keir Starmer's govt, ofc, will do the opposite. theguardian.com/environment/20…
