Yeah, even just listening to Trump earlier then when he talked about, like, we will own it. So I'm like, OK, so we're going to go from an Israeli occupation to an American occupation? Like, he went from crony capitalist to crony imperialist in, what, two weeks? Something like that? I'm still processing it and I still feel... like angry and shocked and confused.

And there's a part of me, a negative part of me that's like, well, what did you expect, Coco? What did you expect was going to happen? Did you really think that this relationship between Trump and Netanyahu, which has been signposted for a long time, was going to come out?

You know that phrase, when someone shows you who they are, believe them. I mean, these people have been showing us who they are for such a long time. And there's a part of me that thinks, well, what did you think was going to happen? Like really, Coco, what did you think when they announced the ceasefire deal? And even the fact that like, you know, the UN... Aid agency weren't allowed in there.

In a way, there's part of me that thinks, well, this was inevitable. This was going to happen. I hope for God's sake that the governments around the world have had this conversation about when this happens and have a plan. You know what I mean? It's a horrible, horrible day. Yeah.

Like the Gaza situation, this is definitely a sign of things to come in terms of US foreign policy. Trump will probably keep throwing his toys out of the pram and world leaders will at least partly acquiesce.

The Rosebank oil development, given the green light by Rishi Sunak's government, was ruled to have been unlawful due to a lack of clarity on just how much CO2 would be emitted by the project. A couple of months ago, we spoke to Tessa Khan, one of the lawyers leading the fight against the proposed development, and she sent us in an update.

And, you know, we were talking about Heathrow just last week and how frustrating it must feel to feel like so many decisions, particularly in terms of the environment and the ecological damage, are already made and there's nothing you can do about it. But you can, as they've proven. And these are victories that, of course, we should be celebrating.

By the way, guys, if you're listening and you know of any other victories, let us know. I think we all need... some hope and optimism. So if there's something giving you hope at the moment, if there's some grassroots activism, if there's a case that isn't actually being spoken about enough, but it's really meaningful to causes of the environment or social justice, just let us know.
