The UK has hit 35°C+ in 18 different years on record.
In 1976, it hit 35°C+ for five consecutive days.
So yes, it gets hot sometimes.
But can we all calm down a bit… and also get rid of the doom maps?

🚨Important Announcement: Puberty Blockers Judicial Review🚨
Following months of radio silence, I’m saddened to report that the government has announced that it is pushing forward with the puberty blockers trial, regardless of the significant ethical concerns raised that led to the temporary pause.
Most troubling of all is that they are now refusing to halt recruitment of children until the end of the Judicial Review that we are bringing.
As such, we have no choice but to seek an emergency injunction to block a single child being recruited and given this poison. There will be a hearing at the end of July to determine this.
Please rest assured that I and the entire team will be pursuing this Judicial Review all the way.
@jamesmurray_ldn - Just as with your predecessor, Wes Streeting, we implore you to do the right thing and pull the plug on this monstrosity of a trial. If you don’t, we will see you in Court.
Informed consent cannot be given by an 11/12yr old child, and especially not vulnerable ones. Children are being treated like adults & badly behaved adults, like children! We have lost our way!
@sophielouisecc Agree entirely - but please give Emma a whiteboard, some magnets, some basic tech to demonstrate her expertise a little better and she will leave most other "expert" pundits for dust. Don't think it's a misogyny thing across the board, the environment just doesn't work.
To the people who would have us known as “pregnant people” or “birthing parents” or “chest feeders”… I say bugger off.
We are loudly and proudly MOTHERS and there is a lot we need to discuss…
See you there 🙌
@MichelleDewbs Does vicarious liability/criminal negligence exist as a factor for systemic failure to protect the most vulnerable in these cases. Until it does every organisation involved just seems to hide behind, and be protected by, the failure of another.
Former Oldham social worker explains in the Times today why Preston was left to die. Social workers’ “worst” fear is a complaint they are, “racist, homophobic or prejudiced. Then not being backed by management. No one wants to make a report, receive a complaint and get hung out to dry.” Ridiculous priorities. Their worst fear should be a child dying in terror and agony.

A magnificent letter from a magnificent woman.
“ Dear Mr Wright,
It must be terribly difficult having to share your name with the legendary and enormously popular disk jockey. My late husband, Sir Michael Caine, was not the actor, Nonetheless, Hollywood starlets might call saying they were in town.
Awkward all around.
I am a law maker. You would not expect me to pontificate on structural instability, hazardous materials or airborne toxins. I know nothing about accelerants, burn patterns or smoke staining. If I told the people, you represent how to deal with a fire I ought, rightly, be ignored.
What the blazes, then, do you think you are doing when trying to meddle with the adoption of the EHRC's latest Service Code? If no one else has told you already I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you appear to have no idea what you are talking about. Did you think to run your nonsense past a lawyer? (If you did,hesitate to pay.)
The provision of changing and lavatorial facilities by an employer is governed by the Workplace (Health and Safety) Regulations 1992. Employers are required to provide separate facilities for males and females. There is no option to provide only mixed facilities. Mixed facilities are optional but sex-separated facilities are compulsory. That has been the case for 34 years. It has not changed because of a Supreme Court Judgment. You might not have understood it before, but you do not need EHRC Guidance to understand it now. Fire fighters must be provided with biologically separated sanitary and changing facilities. That will remain the case even if the EHRC Guidance is frustrated.
No "hard-won" rights have been rolled back. The rights you imagine (or, more likely, have been briefed about) have never existed. Rights do not accrue and acquire validity thanks to magical thinking or bad advice.
That which you frame as a call for employers and service providers to "go beyond minimum requirements" is, in fact, a demand that they break the law. I assume you had no idea that was the case. I can imagine you being keen to change laws with which you disagree, democratically, but I should be surprised were you to knowingly call for outright anarchy.
The laws governing access to legitimately sex-separated facilities have not changed for employers since 1992, and for service providers since 2010. If you were ignorant of them before you have no excuse now. If you do not like them you may seek, democratically, to change them.
Until then, I strongly encourage you to urge members to obey the law and stop posturing as though the law is something you might like it to be but is not.
Yours sincerely
Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne
