Bloody hell, folks! It's official, July 3rd takes the crown for being the hottest day ever recorded on this planet. Can you believe it? According to those fancy-pants at the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction, the average global temperature soared to a scorching 17.01 degrees Celsius (62.62 Fahrenheit). That's higher than the previous record from August 2016 when it was a mere 16.92C (62.46F). Let me tell you, heatwaves have been rampaging all over the globe, and it's no joke. The southern U.S. has been roasting under a merciless heat dome, while China is cooking away in an ongoing heatwave with temperatures reaching a blistering 35C (95F). And as if that wasn't enough, North Africa is experiencing temperatures close to a mind-boggling 50C (122F). I mean, come on, it's practically boiling out there! But wait, it doesn't stop there. Even Antarctica, in the middle of its winter, has decided to join the party with some freakishly high temperatures. ...

Well, well, well, here we go again! Another day, another report reminding us how we're screwing up the planet. This time, it's all about the shrinking forests. Apparently, despite all the fancy promises made at COP26, the trees just keep disappearing. Surprise, surprise! So, this fancy report by the World Resources Institute (WRI) tells us that in 2022, we lost an area of tropical rainforest the size of Switzerland or the Netherlands. That's a whole lot of trees, folks! And you know what's causing it? Deforestation, logging, and wildfires. We're practically torching the damn planet. According to these experts, we're losing an area the size of a football pitch every five seconds. I mean, come on! How is that even possible? It's like a never-ending destruction derby out there. And who's leading the race? Brazil! Give it up for Brazil, everyone, accounting for a whopping 43% of global losses. They're really going for gold in the deforestation Olympics...

In the ongoing saga of corporate greed and worker exploitation, Sainsbury's, one of the UK's leading supermarket chains, has come under fire for the staggering salary disparity between its CEO and its hardworking employees. Simon Roberts, the CEO of Sainsbury's, has recently been revealed to be raking in a mind-boggling £4.9 million in annual compensation. To put this into perspective, that amounts to an astronomical £408,000 a month, £94,000 a week, or an eye-watering £2,298 an hour. Meanwhile, the supermarket's frontline workers are left grappling with a mere £11 an hour. This jaw-dropping pay gap has sparked outrage and ignited a heated debate about income inequality and fairness in the workplace. Many are questioning the moral compass of a system that rewards executives handsomely while undervaluing and underpaying those who toil on the shop floor day in and day out. Critics argue that this stark contrast in wages is indicative of a broken economic structure, where ...

As the world faces significant social, economic, and environmental challenges, many are turning to alternative economic systems to create a more sustainable and equitable future. One such system is a resource-based economy (RBE), which prioritizes principles such as sustainability, resource efficiency, and cooperative management. In this article, we'll explore the core principles of an RBE, how it differs from other economic systems, and examples of these principles in practice. Core Principles of a Resource-Based Economy A Resource Based Economy is an economic system that prioritizes the responsible management and distribution of resources to create a more sustainable and equitable future. The core principles of an RBE include: Sustainability Sustainability is a central principle of an RBE. An RBE aims to minimize waste and negative environmental impact by prioritizing sustainable production and consumption methods. This includes the use of renewable energy sources, the reduc...

In today's world, we face multiple challenges that require innovative and sustainable solutions. Climate change, social inequality, and resource depletion are just a few of the issues that threaten our planet and society's well-being. A resource-based economy (RBE) is a proposed economic model that aims to address these challenges by managing resources sustainably, using technology and cooperation to meet human needs. What is a Resource-Based Economy? At its core, a resource-based economy is an economic system that prioritizes the responsible use and management of natural resources. Rather than relying on market-driven mechanisms like supply and demand or profit and loss, an RBE aims to allocate resources based on need, using scientific methods and technology to optimize efficiency and sustainability. In an RBE, goods and services would be produced through a collaborative, resource-driven approach that minimizes waste and promotes innovation. The goal is to create a system t...

The Somerset MP represents Bridgwater, makes the list for his all-round uselessness as an mp as well as his poor behaviour towards anyone but himself. Let's start with his comparing Taunton a town in the UK, which is in an economic straights as much of the UK is, to the war-torn city of Aleppo in Syria, which has been subject to many warring factions resulting in the deaths of many people and the utter destruction of most of the city. An exceedingly callous comparison at the which shows a pattern of behaviour in the MP. Grainger's behaviour in the houses of parliament is allegedly very unprofessional and contributes to the general disbelief of ordinary people about how parliamentarians act towards each other. An accusation levelled at Graner was that he shouted "suicide" at an SNP MP. While the SNP MP was raising the question about what options were available for Scottish MPs to make their voices heard on the issues being spoken about on that day Liddle ...

Christopher Chope MP for Chrischurch in Dorset. Chope makes our list not just for a history of voting against human rights, gay rights, support for ex forces personnel, reducing welfare for everyone including the sick and disabled, raising taxes on the poorest but not the richest. You may think this voting record is deplorable, but that's not the least of it. Chope has a habit of obstructing bills especially when it comes to women's issues. He blocked a bill to make taking unsolicited pictures up a skirt an offence. Most recently, he hit the headlines for blocking a bill to make it easier to prevent female genital mutilation. Chope would say that he does this out of principle, he doesn't like private members bills but put in 31 in the last year alone. He also votes consistently against increased parliamentary transparency so his excuse he is trying to make Parliament procedure better would appear to be undone by his own actions. He also appeared in the expe...
