The UK has only hit 40c on one day in our history. That day was only 4 years ago, and we're about to do it again - and in June.
Climate change deniers? You're as dumb as antivaxxers
I helped establish this National Windrush Monument to celebrate the contributions made by the #Windrush Generation. Today I am lobbying in @UKHouseofLords for justice for the Windrush victims.Have an inspirational #WindrushDay ❤️
As a DC9 union painter with 30+ years in coatings, I’m looking at the failure not a conspiracy theory.
When a coating is lifting off in large sheets like this, that points to an adhesion failure: improper surface preparation, contamination left behind, the wrong coating system, poor recoat timing, or water introduced before the system fully cured.
A quality two-part epoxy system can perform well but the product is only as good as the prep and application. The substrate has to be properly profiled/cleaned, the specified primer or first coat applied correctly, recoat windows followed, and the full system allowed to cure before being put back into service.
That is not “vandals.” That is a coating failure that deserves a real independent inspection and an explanation of exactly what system was specified and how it was applied.

A note for our customers in Europe.
EU customs changes on 1/7/26 will levy additional per-item charges on UK>EU shipments and our shipping charges must reflect this change from then.
To beat the increase place your order before 1st July!
Trump was a very bad investment for the people of the USA. It's going to cost the USA decades to recover from the damage he's caused domestically and internationally. When they eventually do recover, they're not going to be the world's superpower anymore.
South East Water are already begging customers not to use water.
That’s what happened when your corporate greed gets the better of you and you simply haven’t invested in enough equipment to meet demand.
Another water company that should be back in public control, today.
NEW: A federal judge appointed by George W. Bush has thrown out Justice Department subpoenas targeting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and his allies, calling them an abusive and retaliatory effort to punish Walz for refusing to assist Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Judge Patrick Schiltz said there was “no doubt” the subpoenas were issued to damage Walz, writing: “Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take — is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use the grand-jury process.”
We are being asked to accept that Keir Starmer was a principled politician who rescued Labour from oblivion before being destroyed by the media. Wrong. To understand why he fell Starmer only needs to look at the mirror. My column for Middle East Eye:

Keir Starmer has gone — but we will never forget the role his government played in the greatest crime of our time.
Today, I re-presented my Bill for an independent inquiry into Britain’s complicity in genocide.
A federal court just confirmed what everyone already knew:
Trump’s DOJ is illegally using the machinery of government to target his political enemies with bogus investigations.
That’s not justice. It’s corruption. IT MUST END!
No 32 Alexander Street in Bayswater was where Stiff Records was born 50 years ago, amid the steaming heat of 1976. The label that gave us Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, Nick Lowe, Wreckless Eric and many more original acts. It later expanded into No 28.
A blue plaque is needed!
This is only the beginning.
The climate crisis is here.
So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait?
It can't.
We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act.

Alan Greenspan bade us farewell today. A man who was celebrated as the central bankers' central banker based on the conviction that markets are divine and volatility is a virtue.
His epitaph? A singular, glorious confession: “I found a flaw in my model of the world.” A flaw, he said, as though it were a leaky pipe, not a total collapse of the intellectual architecture that anointed him Oracle. For decades, he preached that the self-interest of the predator was the invisible hand of the common good.
Then, in 2008, the beast devoured the table, and to his credit he blinked, admitting that his entire worldview—the one that central bankers canonized and the world swallowed—was a fairy tale for rentiers.
He did not, of course, admit to culpability. That would require a moral compass, a device notably absent from his Ayn Randian toolbelt. No, he merely noted the flaw, as a meteorologist might note a gust of wind, and returned to his well-earned silence.
So farewell, Maestro. You helped erect a broken global casino economy, but at least you had the decency to read the autopsy report aloud. Alas, countless millions are still paying for your asterisk. https://t.co/ftWXeIeAQr
