@bambibristol My recall of the summer of 1976 is excellent. Indeed it was very hot. We went on holiday to Suffolk +stayed in a lovely cottage. The weather broke as we were coming back home etc. etc. But I am not a victim of confirmation bias or senility + can read maps:

@Dan__Stevens In 1976 it was a freak event in isolated pockets.

Now its more frequent & records keep getting broken annually or in successive days.

More heat coverage simultaneously across the world. At the same time not just specific countries or continents.

Clear?

[.... @UKISDEAD]

@JamesMelville Hottest records being broken in Europe. UK, Switzerland & France. So temperature trends are going up. Climate not weather.

@realdalegreenin @peterwealdstone @ekspert_tv Because he went to Anfield at least one time saying he loved Liverpool

Within the next couple of decades Global Warming is going to go from being a big problem to making large parts of the world where billions of people live unlivable.

It will lead to mass migration on an unbelievable scale and widespread famine.

We need to act NOW.

@PaulDestiny1 @Shrink_at_Large PIP was increased by the Tories removed disability (formerly DLA) so more people with illnesses could claim it after the COVID pandemic

Also it is not an out of work benefit and please don't conflate it with UC.

Not helpful at all.

[.... @UKISDEAD]

@dearbrit_ian @PolitlcsUK It was removed so he could be tried in USA without damaging the monarchy

[.... @UKISDEAD]

@PaulDestiny1 @Shrink_at_Large UC was designed before Zero hours contracts. It's now unfit for the modern labour market.

It's a disaster to make disabled people fit into an already flawed design without flexibility.

[.... @UKISDEAD]

@Shrink_at_Large The worst thing about all of it is the mentality. The hardening of attitudes.

"Survival of the fittest" without letting us adapt.

Adaptation is key for evolution.

The poverty of imagination is depressing.

[Thomas H. 💙 @THemingford]

If welfare benefits were genuinely generous, food banks would not be overwhelmed, millions would not be struggling, and disabled people would not be forced to choose between essentials. The evidence simply does not support the claim.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

UK benefits are so high...

That they are the lowest in the Developed World.

[Dr Susan Grey @SJG99]

UK's benefits system isn't especially generous.
And of course, if employers paid a living wage we wouldn't have to subsidise wages with benefits. #bbcpm

[Recovery in the Bin @RITB_]

You didn't need to commission Milburn, you already know the number of vacancies vs the number of unemployed, the former cannot cover the latter.
You already know healthcare, social care, housing, training & education are lacking, paying £ to employers for 6 months work won't change that

[.... @UKISDEAD]

@Grraarrgh @Kitty_On_Wheels If DWP themselves filter disabled people out of employment then there's no hope

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

I want AI to go bankrupt and see Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos in the gutter.

@brettblackham @Heccles94 I completely disagree that it's smart.

The world is not a resource for a handful of billionaires to exploit.

Where is the equity for manual and mental labour that Amazon relies on?

@mjdaly57 @Heccles94 It's a dull world without Steve Bell

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The UK is increasing the Pension age to 68.

Poland has lowered theirs to 60.

Their pension is higher as well.

@brettblackham @Heccles94 You ! 😅
