Again, stop conceding the talking points of the right. The description 'unvetted' comes up in right wing Facebook posts constantly. This really isn't about security checks. Have we 'vetted' masked men intimidating RNLI volunteers?

So the LibDems are talking about a big cut in fuel duty. This would mark a big growth in subsidies to motorists which would benefit the wealthy the most. They drive the most and drive the least fuel efficient cars.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

For those who are new, Joe DiGenova has spent the last 30 years baselessly accusing Democrats of committing crimes. If he is saying publicly the Trump administration pushed him out because he wouldn’t bring cases because there was no evidence, things are really bad.

On the one hand it’s great that the media are going into overheated homes. On the other hand I think I can see at least two things in this screencap that are not going to be effective cooling. Why hasn’t the government issued clear advice on how to shade and cool your home?

A screen capture of an ITV news report in an overheated home. The subtitle says “3000 people die”, and in the screen capture there is a woman with a tower fan pointed at her from a hot door that is insulated with foil on the inside of the window only.

I wonder when TfL is going to upgrade the Silvertown Cycle Shuttle and the (appalling, indirect) cycle routes that link to it to a quality that means they can go onto the Cycleways map?

European summer temperature, June to August, over 10°W-40°E, 30-50°N, the region Stott et al. used for the 2003 heatwave, relative to 1961-1990. The black line shows ERA5 observations from 1950 to 2025, rising from about zero in the mid-twentieth century to 2.75°C in 2024. Grey shading is the 5-95% range of 34 CMIP6 models over the historical period, blue shading the same models under SSP2-4.5 to 2100, with the running median in white. Two dotted lines mark the 2003 summer at 2.06°C and the 2024 summer at 2.75°C, each dropping to the year the model median reaches that level: 2027 and 2045.
