It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄

Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇

So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves

Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage

Mostrate ai decerebrati che ancora negano il riscaldamento globale questo video ufficiale della NASA sulle temperature globali dal 1880 ad oggi:

“We’ve always had hot summers!..what about 76?”

1976 now looks like a freak event on a very cold planet in comparison.

@LucyGoBag There's no way that Farage actually wants to be PM - far too much work. Question is how can he duck out of it?

[Weather Watcher @WXWatcher07]

Yet another striking map regarding the intensifying heatwave by June 23. France is the bullseye with temperatures soaring as much as 15°C - 20°C above the average.

A new study shows HPV vaccination in England has led to the number of deaths from cervical cancer falling to zero in vaccinated women under 25.

Please encourage all eligible children to get vaccinated.

Today marks ten years since Jo was killed.

We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

Big News this morning : The George Washington statue near Fenway Park in Boston has been given the Highest Honour By the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish Fans. Someone has got up there God knows how and placed a traffic cone □on his heed. 😅🤣😂😂. This is a proud moment for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣��󠁿 Scotland.

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

Well I was worried, but then I read the comments and apparently this is all a conspiracy and we're just fine.

What is so staggering about the frequency of scepticism about UK temperature measurements is that records are, of course, constantly being shattered all around the world. In January, Berkeley Earth, a California-based non-profit research organisation, indicated the scale of this:

‘We conclude that 2025 was the third warmest year on Earth since 1850. It is exceeded only by 2024 and 2023. This period, since 1850, is the time when sufficient direct measurements from thermometers exist to create a purely instrumental estimate of changes in global mean temperature. Berkeley Earth’s analysis combines 23 million monthly-average thermometer measurements from 57,685 weather stations with ~500 million instantaneous ocean temperature observations collected by ships and buoys.

‘The last 11 years have included all 11 of the warmest years observed in the instrumental record, with the last 3 years including all of the top 3 warmest.’

Are these 23 million measurements from 57,685 weather stations all being faked in pursuit of some dark Orwellian agenda? The idea is simply pathological.

@LucyGoBag would you say on balance for good or ill?

[James Murray @jamesnomurray]

@LucyGoBag Your book offers such strong lessons on how important the compassion and honesty of first responders is to relatives.
Hobbs draws a striking parallel to the death of Steven Lawrence, who also suffered stab wounds identified too late by those assisting.

[Tara Blume @tcblume]

Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3

Such brave people, five front line medics recovered after contracting this rare form of Ebola whilst treating patients, read else where it has mortality rate up to 50%. Takes enormous courage to step up when PPE is limited and the risks so high.

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo are celebrating after five patients, who had Ebola and now recovered, were allowed to leave hospital.

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst!

As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s."

The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄

"It is absolutely staggering that it didn't meet the custody threshold"

Former safeguarding minister, Laura Farris, says the judge's language in the recent Fordingbridge rape case played into "the perception that this is a country that has decriminalised rape".

1/ It's 1985.
I just did stand-up on David Letterman the night before. Five minutes. I'm 27 years old and I think I've made it.
My agent calls me the next day and fires me.
