Great to see this from the PM. All summer we've been raising the alarm about this unprecedented heatwave. From 40c heat in classrooms to mums struggling at home to keep cool. We need to adapt today AND mitigate the worst effects of climate change for tomorrow.
Striking how difficult the later stages of the World Cup will be for many teams- especially those not used to extreme heat and humidity.
Which nation has the hottest and most climate affected route to the #worldcup2026 final? We plotted each country's winning route to the final. Many games have a high probability of being played in unsafe conditions, made worse by climate change

"Last summer, the hottest on record, temperatures in classrooms reached 36.3C at a primary school in Liverpool and 29.9C in a Cambridgeshire secondary, according to data by the campaign group Round Our Way."

🌊 | NEW REPORT: Extreme weather is a political issue. Failing to protect people from floods and heat leaves space for the populist right to exploit public anger and risks losing voters across the spectrum who expect action. Read our solutions here 👇 ippr.org/articles/adapt-or-d…
"We turn toward other people when they need it and take the piss out of them when they don’t."

Discussing how we communicate climate impacts to the public effectively, "authenticity is one of the most important things over the next four years" says @sofiejenkinson.

Almost four years after the term was coined (below), I'm chairing an event on 'The Politics of Deliverism' at this years #Lab25. Is deliverism enough to win?
Come along if you're free (and have a conference pass!)
I’m coining the term ‘deliverism’ as a complement to ‘popularism.’ @ddayen focuses on this. Deliver and it helps you win elections. Don’t deliver and you lose.
By ‘deliver’ I mean govern well using all levers available.

Nearly 1 million potholes reported across the UK in 2024— the highest in 5 years! Our data shows climate change is worsening road conditions. We need immediate action to protect drivers and cyclists. #NationalPotholeDay

I'm the last person you'd ever see lobbing soup at a painting but on 23 September, extreme weather destroyed the pitch at my beloved @afc_wimbledon
I made a video about it with @RoundOurWay #SaveOurSport #ad

Extreme weather caused by climate change causes floods at clubs like @LeatherheadFC meaning cancelled matches and the stars of the future can't get games in. I've teamed up with @RoundOurWayUK to highlight how devastating floods are for the future of football. #SaveOurSport #Ad

*toots the updates horn* seems like as good a time as any to say that I am now Co-Director of @RoundOurWayUK with @Roger_Harding. So, if anyone wants to know more about who we are, what we do or just wants to catch up, drop me a line on [email protected].
Looking forward to speaking at the @WGClimateChange #WalesClimateWeek conference tomorrow morning.

Grateful to be working with so many brilliant people and partner orgs on the vital issue of people keeping safe in our increasingly warm summers.

2,295 lives were lost due to the heat in England between June and September last year.
Each of those people would typically have gone on to live for another 8 yrs.
Good to work with @Daily_Express and Dr. Hilary Jones MBE to highlight this vital issue.
