🗣️ | @Mattylee96: "Heatwave resilience is fundamentally about staff and patient safety. Until all healthcare facilities have the ability to safely regulate their internal temperatures, patients and staff will remain at risk."

@NHSMillion A good start, however only £32 million of this being invested in heat and extreme weather resilience. Not sure how far that will go, or whether it will be spent in time for next summer
This weekend, masked, far-right thugs descended on Dover and Portsmouth to intimidate and shout. It’s up to us to reject this hate.
Brave RNLI volunteers do that daily, saving lives at sea.
We must follow their example and choose unity over division.
Our charity exists to save lives at sea. Our mission is to save every one. Our lifesavers are compelled to help those in need without judgement of how they came to be in the water. They have done so since the RNLI was founded in 1824 and this will always be our ethos.
This summer Britain burnt. 3000 people died from the heat.
Yet this Government is drilling for more gas, despite scientist warnings & knowing that it won't make a difference to bills in the UK.
We need to double down on renewables, not bend to the wishes of fossil fuel bosses.
A UK national security assessment has warned that climate-driven ecosystem collapse could threaten our food security, drive migration, increase geopolitical instability and raise the risk of conflict.
It was published in January.
Most people have never heard of it.
We should be talking about this far more.👇

The NHS must be prepared for more frequent and intense heatwaves otherwise preventable heat-related harm will keep affecting patients and colleagues

DAUK's @Mattylee96 welcomed DHSC's acknowledgement of the impact of extreme heat on NHS staff and patients in its response to our survey of healthcare workers during June's record-breaking heatwave

Our Prime Minister has had a lot to say today about subscriptions.
Meanwhile, huge parts of the country are in drought.
We're about to enter our fifth heatwave of the year, killing more people.
Are we going to get anything from the Government?
Literally anything?
It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.
I believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.
Wildfires are tearing across the continent and here in the UK as well.
This is what climate breakdown looks like. It's time our governments stopped fuelling the crisis and started tackling it.
