These deaths are on the hands of politicians who failed to act over years. Putting profit over our safety refusing to take action - now failing to protect us from its impact.
We need maximum working temperatures. Insulated homes. Cooling in schools, hospitals and care homes.
1/🧵EXCLUSIVE: @BylineTimes's six-month investigation into Reform UK's policy chief: a secret donation from Peter Thiel, Thiel's life-changing offers to Cambridge scholars, and a far-right, theocratic student recruitment drive in breach of safeguarding

BREAKING:
Trump is dropping bombs on Iran’s largest petrochemical hub in Mahshahr, in Khuzestan Province.
In the middle of the night.
Not military targets.
Critical industrial infrastructure — the heart of Iran’s oil industry.
Populists, for years : "Don't believe science. Climate change is fake. Drill baby drill"
Populists, now "It's all the government's fault for not giving you AirCon"
The UK government had over 500 meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists in their first year in power.
Every flame of this monstrous wildfire in Wales is a political choice.
In September, my Gaza (Independent Inquiry) Bill returns to Parliament.
Its purpose: to uncover the full scale of British complicity in genocide.
The next Prime Minister has a simple choice: will they support this inquiry, or will they block our efforts to expose the truth?
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.
It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…
From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.
I’ll never forget Keir Starmer’s island of strangers speech and how he fanned the flames of hateful anti-immigration rhetoric that is radicalising people & making the country less safe for us all. What a legacy to leave behind as a Labour leader.
Francesca Albanese just exposed the ugly truth: The New York Times ignored Palestinian rape testimonies for over a year.
She gave them a lengthy interview in February 2024. Nothing followed.
UNRWA detailed torture and sexual abuse. Nothing.
B'Tselem. Physicians for Human Rights. The UN Committee Against Torture-which concluded torture is Israeli state policy. The UN Commission -which called it systematic, widespread, and an act of genocide.
All ignored.
But now the NYT finally publishes? Suddenly it's a scandal
The rape didn't start when the NYT noticed. The silence just became harder to maintain
