I had a chat with a Labour MP who was once a friend.
She convinced herself that the UK faces annihilation from Russia, China and Iran.
So she is prepared to accept Israeli genocide, Ukrainian corruption and in the UK bombs not hospitals, for the "bigger picture".
Utterly bonkers.

👍👍👍 “Food needs public infrastructure, just as transport, healthcare, & education do…Public restaurants can be major purchasers of local, agroecological, seasonal produce — including native crops & underutilized species that supermarkets won’t consider.” @joseluischicoma
