Why is there such little outcry over this regime in the media?
Zubaida Akbar@ZubaidaAKBR2 Dec 2024
Deadly new directive from Taliban leader (pictured) bans women’s health training leaving them w/out midwives or female health workers. Male doctors banned from treating women &female workers can’t be trained.This erases women’s access to healthcare & is a death sentence to women.

Thank you to the brilliant @shanerecord for a magical session on the Leas - across two hours we saw a familiar scene appear on the giant board, only to be transformed as the climate was… Lots of people stopped to watch & some good conversations about acting on the climate 💚

I can’t even begin to describe what an indictment of the BBC & possibly of the studio audience & also of our civilisation itself it is that this final Prime Ministerial debate, at a moment when the world is reeling from extreme heat 🥵, has seen NO questions on climate & nature.

In the face of a climate emergency, this is how different parties have been voting at Westminster theguardian.com/environment/…

No Tory MPs voted positively on climate issues since party took power, study finds

Labour and Liberal Democrats dominated list of MPs who were rated as very good in backing environmental policies
