It's something to behold...Starmer supporters can see no wrong in him or anything he has done.
They are blaming his downfall entirely on the media...apparently even reporting what is going on in the Labour Party at the moment makes a journalist guilty of playing a part.

🚨 URGENT HEAT WARNING🚨

The forecast is now showing temperatures of up to 37°C, here at Foster Sanctuary we are deeply concerned.

We currently have 90 dogs in our care. Some are elderly, some have thick double or triple coats, and some are recovering from illness too

Keeping every single one of them safe during this extreme heat is a huge operation.

Our team will be starting work from 5–6am each morning and working right through until the evening to make sure every dog stays as cool, hydrated and comfortable as possible.
It's like organising a military operation, with cooling routines, fresh water, shaded areas, cooling mats, ice toys, frozen treats, hydration drinks and constant monitoring throughout the day.

We're also making sure our amazing staff are looked after, because these conditions are challenging for everyone.

Our thoughts are also with the dogs living on our streets alongside their homeless owners. As always, we will be on standby to help , but we know the coming days are going to be incredibly difficult.

Even in the temperatures we've experienced today, we've already seen dogs struggling. The next few days could become life-threatening for many.

🐾 Please help us spread this message:
• Walk your dog very early in the morning or late in the evening.
• Never leave a dog in a car, not even for a few minutes.
• Make sure they have constant access to fresh water and shade.
• Avoid hot pavements, which can burn paws in seconds.
• If your dog doesn't need exercise, skip the walk. A missed walk is far safer than heatstroke.

Please keep an eye out for any dog that appears to be in distress and, if you can, offer water to dogs you may see with homeless owners.
These next few days will test us all, but together we can help keep every dog as safe as possible.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Foster Sanctuary and the work we do. 🧡

"The scandal is not that the Jewish community received solidarity. It is that the same instinct simply has not been extended to Britain’s Muslims. There has been no Cobra meeting....not a single newspaper outside Scotland has carried the Edinburgh attacks on its front page."

Would you save a dog you couldn't cure?

After surviving catastrophic injuries, Izzy was diagnosed with terminal illness

Many would have walked away, we didn't.

We measure dogs lives in happiness ❤️🐾

8 bricks purchased today which is brilliant but we need so many more before we can start the actual build.

1 brick £5 = 1 life saved. Please buy a brick and help save countless lives 🙏🏼

The French take this hot weather very, very seriously.
The first extreme heatwave happened in 2003.
That year, 14,802 people died. Because it happened in the height of the summer holidays (14th July - 15th August is the summer "shut down" in France) many of the people who perished were elderly, whose adult children were away. Nobody thought to check on them.
We need to get real in the UK, because this is coming to us too.
The govt. should be subsidising funding shutters and aircon. There should be Public Service Announcements on TV about how to cope in the extreme weather RIGHT NOW.

@0Calamity Allegedly Burnham will dilute net zero, the switch to electric cars and allow drilling for oil in the North Sea 😳

@GyllKing Unfortunately plenty of historic examples of people doing exactly that! Humans never learn, so we have to fight again and again the same battles under slightly different headings. It was the women, then the gays then the trans then the women then the gays and on we go 🤬

[Gyll King Post Skip Diplomacy @GyllKing]

Kids know they’re trans just like kids know they’re gay. There are many thousands of adults who took puberty blockers as part of their transition journeys - they’re the ones you’re less likely to clock. Depriving trans kids of that is the work of ideological savages.

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

Good heavens. Read this. Davies has done a good job condensing the deranged, atavistic principles of 'regressive neoliberalism' and identifying their major publicists - Marshall, Badenoch, Weinstein, Ferguson, Peterson, Kisin, Hirsi Ali, Mosley and the gang. This is the wealthy and highly organised collective voice of what Adrian Johnston calls 'deaptation'.

The closer their precious neoliberal system moves towards total failure, the more they reject the reality around them and double down on their traditional beliefs. Their faith is played out as a sort of cult political re-enactment society, deluded thanatophobes refusing bereavement to fantasise their dying parent as a vigorous young hero.

'Progressive neoliberalism' has its serious problems, as @winlow_s and I have outlined in our work, but its terrifying that these ruminating grifters have even the slightest influence on the way we think. https://t.co/i2MSWgQzaI
