"A group of nearly 100 economists from across Europe has come out strongly against the European Commission’s efforts to water down key sustainability laws, warning that the rollback risks undermining both human rights and Europe’s clean industrial future.

In a joint statement published on Monday (19 May), they said the proposed changes to the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence and Reporting Directives would strip back climate and environmental protections in favour of short-term business interests.

The due diligence directive is "crucial and effective" step to force large companies to monitor and address human rights and environmental risks in their value chains, they write.

But the commission wants to limit those obligations to direct suppliers only, drop civil liability provisions for damages caused by companies, and water down rules on climate transition plans.
The legislation is also set to be discussed by member states at an upcoming council meeting in Brussels on Thursday, where the latest draft shows governments broadly backing the commission’s approach."

EUobserver · Top economists urge EU to save due diligence laws from rollbackBy Wester van Gaal

Polls in the #UK show overwhelming support for #renationalisation of rail, power and water. There is massive support for #TaxTheRich and putting a stop to #TaxEvasion. They also show that 80% plus do not support #privitatisation in the #NHS. There is broad support for #GreenEnergy and a #greeneconomy. #RefugeesAreWelcome too.

What do we get. #Managerialism and barely controlled decline towards #collapse when the far right take over to create a #fascist state to benefit the #billionaires that bank roll the wannabe hitlers.

The #government do not represent the will of the people. They are about as far removed from the will of the people as its possible to be. We can't change that with the Parlimentary system. It doesn't matter which party you vote for as they are all compromised by the rich, both here in the UK and abroad. No political party represents the people.

We need to change everything, and very soon.
