The UK national alert system - for wars, terror attacks and natural disasters etc - has actually just been used to tell us to stop using disposable BBQs.
Absolute joke government.
They’ll be issuing alerts like this within a couple of months at this rate…
This evening, an Emergency Alert has been sent to people across England and Wales as the wildfire risk remains very high. The request came directly from Fire and Rescue Services.
I was in Stourbridge today and saw first-hand the devastating impact these fires have had on people’s homes and lives.
Our priority now is to keep everyone safe and prevent more fires from starting.
During this period of extreme heat, I’m asking everyone to take extra care. Please do not light any fires in gardens, the countryside or other open spaces, including parks, moorland and wooded areas.
Our firefighters and emergency responders are working around the clock in incredibly difficult conditions.
We can all help them. Please take the Emergency Alert seriously and follow the guidance in place.
Happy 75th Dad!
Today I'm remembering your weirdness and your extraordinary capacity to love.
And for the folks out there who'd like to celebrate with me, go do something kind for someone. Make someone laugh. Put a little more good into the world.
Love you forever.
I’m giving thousands of pubs, clubs and music venues a 20% cut in business rates.
I won’t stand by while these cherished local spaces disappear, replaced by boarded-up windows and ‘For Sale’ signs.
They’re the heart of our communities and it’s time we backed them.
😡😡😡 Trump is furious — and having a major meltdown — that FIFA, Spain, and every sports news network edited him out of his humiliating photobomb of the World Cup trophy celebration before posting them online. Voila!
Watching @SkyNews after @andyburnham great speech just now. Sky’s usual journalistic negative rhetoric. @andyburnham maybe you should do something about the constant flow of negativity from the press. It’s poisonous. #news#press
@TUIUK is the only official tui account.
DO NOT REPLY to Help desk ac set up this week (the tui sign and saying 26m followers is a photograph). SCAM AC Asks for what’s app details @TuiukDeskCare IS SCAM AC. DO NOT ENGAGE WITH IT also @MaryLucasn8wo is a SCAM AC #TUI#SCAM
@ChristineRog @TuiukDeskCare @TUIUK@MaryLucasn8wo Thank you for this. They called us claiming I needed to download an app to get a refund but we quickly realised it was a scam.
Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.

Many are jumping to the conclusion that @Nigel_Farage is about to announce that he’s walking away from politics. Again. After all, he has looked & sounded frustrated & angry and has quit the leadership of both UKIP & the Brexit Party before. Do not rule out the possibility, however, that he resigns as an MP to trigger a by election in which he runs as the candidate the establishment is trying to stop. One to watch …
We had a really bad experience @tobycarvery recently in York Hopgrove. Staff looked like they couldn’t be bothered, left waiting to be seated for ages. Most of the food was dried up, veg and gammon was not good. It’s a shame because we usually have a great experience there.
