It was 34 degrees in the UK yesterday, the hottest May on record. The UK governmemt should make air-conditioning mandatory in all hotels, restaurants, shops, cinemas, trains, buses, shopping malls and anywhere in doors and it should also be installed now as a matter of course in all new builds.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.
British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.
Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.
It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.
