Despite growing concerns for the UK’s food security, likely to be worsened by the third heatwave this summer currently afflicting the UK and swathes of the northern hemisphere, the government has refused to publish the full report, which has circulated among defence officials for more than a year. The report paints a devastating picture of severe food shortages, price rises, migration, political destabilisation and possible war, resulting from the collapse of ecosystems https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jul/08/uk-report-ecosystem-collapse-national-threat-food-security

‘The report was due to be published at an event last October, attended by King Charles, in the Natural History Museum. However, at the last minute the publication was pulled, at the behest of Downing Street. Ministers at the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, also tried to have the report released at the Cop30 summit in Brazil, but that was also prevented.’ We need to be holding #Starmer to account on this. #Climate
