My deep and profound commiserations to you and your family. I know and appreciate what you are trying to accomplish politically. I pledge now to vote for you at the next election, despite being pro-Conservative when Conservatism embraces social justice, and despite currently being outraged by the Labour Party.

Do you know the difference between heat exhaustion and heatstroke? It could save a life.

Heat exhaustion: headache, dizziness, nausea, cramps. Heatstroke: confusion, collapse, seizures. Heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency.

Know the signs. Act early. #BeatTheHeat

I was actually afraid to do the arithmetic given the number I was given verbally at first. The idea you could possibly be wrong about arithmetic actually really scared me.

@LloydsBank There is a massive discrepancy between the amount received by the recipient, and the amount I was told by yourselves on 12th June the recipient would receive. The 12th June is the day I initiated the transaction. The errors, you have already admitted, were all yours.

I look forward to discussing the matter in detail within the context of my reluctantly brought formal complaint. I am told by the FCSO that the matters I have raised, which include me being shuttled between Lloyds and The Halifax, fall squarely within their jurisdiction. So let us hope we do not have to seek their adjudication.

I like and respect you as a bank. This is the one and only issue we have had. Why did it have to be so huge? The hours I have spent on dealing with error and incorrect information from yourselves are deeply worrying. They are also atypical. I am saying this publicly because of the significant discrepancy between 12th June and today.

If the information of 12th June was correct you, not the recipient, must absorb the discrepancy.

I look forward to talking with your relevant experts. Tomorrow is not an option because of both personal and professional prior engagements.

But the arithmetic of what was received is correct. I have just done the multiplication on the basis of numbers you gave me in print outs on the day. It transpires it was the wrong verbal figure I was given initially. Truly I am sorry this has happened because I genuinely do think you are good. We do still need to figure out why we got in a muddle about the things you have identified we got in a muddle about. Was that supposed to happen?

An IAEA team of experts said Egypt demonstrates a strong commitment to nuclear and radiation safety. The team also encouraged further regulatory improvements, including updating Egypt’s national policy and strategy for nuclear and radiation safety to align more closely with IAEA safety standards.

How can nature help cities keep cool during heatwaves?

Creating more space for #nature in cities such as parks & ponds, greening streets & buildings’ rooftops & facades can help keep cities cool.

I’ve just arrived in London where a severe heatwave is projected with all its dramatic consequences

It's become increasingly evident that climate change is no longer a distant threat. We feel its effects now.

My message at London #ClimateAction Week: More than ever we must accelerate the transition to clean energy.

@ScienceMagazine That is the last hamburger I eat.

About a decade ago, a baker in a small mountainous village in southern Austria noticed his cow doing something unusual. When Veronika had an itch, she would grab a stick in her mouth and use it to scratch her body. Over the years, the brown bovid’s technique improved. She could pick up objects as large as a broom or rake and move them around with her prehensile tongue, changing their length and orientation to ensure the best possible scratch.

The behavior isn’t just a clever trick: It’s the first documented case of tool use in cattle, scientists report.

And, it turns out, one of Veronika’s skills has only been seen in humans and chimpanzees. Learn more: https://t.co/cAW89NIvaa
