The growing risk of a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation system, of which the Gulf Stream is part, is nothing less than the number one long-term security threat to our way of life in Britain, Europe and the Western world in the era in which we live.
The consequences on our societies of an AMOC collapse would be simply devastating for Britain especially, beyond anything imaginable but a full blown super pandemic or nuclear war — with scientists modelling temperatures dropping around 15.c and half of our arable land being lost.
This is just one of many climate catastrophes starring at us of the modelling and the observed data and is why it is why Labour has continued to place such importance on Net Zero and international climate talks despite the Greens and progressive activists now looking elsewhere post-October 7th and the Conservatives joining Reform in now campaigning against them.
It is also one of the most important areas our foreign policy has and must continue to diverge from Trump’s America, an active opponent to progress on this agenda. It is also why despite the huge security, technological and industrial risks they pose we need an active and substantive dialogue here as far as is possible with China — which Labour has pushed for.
History maker!
Congratulations Aaron Rai on your extraordinary win at the @PGAChampionship, the first English golfer to win for 107 years.

@TheSpursWatch Funny, thomas Frank constantly reminded them that they finished 17th and told them they didn’t deserve to be in champions league (because I guess winning your way in doesn’t count when it’s spurs?).
No wonder we’re playing better and have confidence again.
@markgoldbridge Would have loved to have seen one of your live streams for any one of Frank’s Premier League games. An outstandingly dreadful football manager, fluffed up by people who claim to be in the know but see nothing
It can be both true that a racist slur at a public event causes distress and harm with those on the receiving elaborating their upset, while simultaneously acknowledging the person saying the slur has an involuntary, diagnosed and well understood condition( corpolalia) that is recognised in law by the Disability Act, with those having the condition fully protected by it, rather than being outed by a Twitter mob as a "racist in truth letting their true feelings out".
Some people need to watch "John's not mad".

Also, despite the endless abuse she receives on social media from certain sections of the broadcast audience (to the point that she no longer has an account on this sewer of a platform), look which one of the TMS pundits was closest to calling the series before it began.
If Johnson departs, it will be the third year in a row that Tottenham have sold their top scorer from the previous season. They bought Johnson for £47.5m two years ago.
I’m on a Plan 2 student loan and the repayment threshold has been frozen into oblivion, just like income tax. Every year, without a vote or a headline, more of my income is quietly taken through fiscal drag and student loan repayments.
At the same time, the government finds endless money to raise pensions above inflation and to uprate benefits, but nothing for the people actually working and paying for all of this. It is a joke.
I am sick of being treated as a walking cash machine for an ever-growing population of the economically inactive.
The primary task of modern fiscal policy is funding the triple lock. Every tax measure announced today is primarily for handing more money to pensioners.
Where are you going to deport them to mate ??? Most of these restaurants are owned by British citizens. Going to deport them to another part of Britain ??? 🤣🤣🤣
A collection of some of the times journalists didn't ask Lord Peter Mandelson about the time he stayed at Epsteins lavish townhouse in Manhattan while the financier was in prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor
