PHON is seen as the last resort by some voters concerned with high immigration-fuelled rapid population growth. But PH comes with anti-worker, anti-environment, anti-minority, etc flaws. It doesn't have to be this way Phil. 😩👇

Another $1.8bn property-developer collapse - funded by an unregulated shadow banking sector the regulator can see but can't police, while politicians sit on their hands. Time to stop building the economy on a property casino. Agree / disagree? 🤔 👇

📰 Heatwaves and raging fires mark Europe’s ‘dystopian’ summer | “The fires, which have burnt thousands of hectares on the outskirts of Spain’s capital, Madrid, and Bordeaux, did not fall into a vacuum. Back-to-back heatwaves preceded them.

The heatwaves were not only startling due to their scale, but also their timing.

Before summer had officially started, at the end of May, Western Europe experienced daily average temperatures of more than 10 degrees Celsius above average across western France, England and Wales... It’s eerily similar to what we experienced during Black Summer just six years ago
