On Question Time last night, I talked about the extractive economic model that has left Wales - and many other nations - impoverished *because they were so rich in resources*. You can see the problem simply by looking at the map: the infrastructure looks like a drainage system.

I'm on Question Time tonight, in Brecon. The other panellists are currently from Reform, the Conservatives, Plaid Cymru and Labour. Though, given the rate of resignations and defections in Wales, that might change by 9pm this evening. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

One thing I learned very forcibly researching the ecological history of where I live (Beara, West Cork) is that the forces and ideologies behind ecocide were one and the same as racist colonialism and genocide. Greta is 100% right: Gaza, racism, fascism, climate and eco-breakdown are ALL connected.

Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?
