One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Just in case anyone is still unsure. Of the 12 hottest days in the UK Just 2 were in 20thC Whilst 10 have been in 21stC 2 (inc. the highest) were in 2022 3 have been *THIS YEAR* So 5 of the top 12 have been in the last 5 years Oh.. and NONE were in 1976

And yet many deliberately-set moorland fires ALSO get out of control, causing wildfires. Even where they don’t, they dry out moorland soils and encourage the growth of monocultures (heather, Molinia) thereby making future wildfires more likely. That’s why moorland burning is restricted (‘banned’)

Just in case there is anyone here still wondering if Long Covid is real, here is a message from a friend of 40-odd years. He is (was?) a GP who worked all through the pandemic including many visits to care homes. He has been battling illness since, and his family and I nearly lost him last week.

Image of a WhatsApp message reads

I'm home Implant done. Sore. BP all over the place but new medication settling in. Can't do very much as the wires running through
need to bed in Coming to terms that the heart arrhythmia was potentially fatal. I arrested brieflv but was stabilised quickly as I happened to be in hospital at the time. I had a recorded heart rate of 270 which is only seen briefly before carking it. Not certain of future work/medical retirement etc... got to give it sometime vet. Strange what viruses can do! Sanquine at the moment Waiting to get pissed off and angry but that'll do no good. Hope to be good enough soon ta
