UKHSA report shows 2,877 excess deaths caused by May and June 2026 heatwaves, up from 1,500 last year. Need a fundamental rethink about the design of infrastructure, homes, shops, workplaces. Need maximum workplace temperature laws to protect workers. Voluntary codes won't give enforceable rights.

Heat-related deaths are rising in the UK, likely to double this year. Could be tackled by laws specifying maximum temperature for workplaces. Countries such as Spain and Belgium have such laws, give workers enforceable rights. What will the UK govt do? Watch the Minister's reply.

Congrats to @katiephang.bsky.social for putting the pressure on Todd Blanche with her lawsuit, suing him for failing to abide by the Epstein Transparency Act. We need non-stop offense. You keep it in the news. You demand accountability. He will prolly still get the vote but GOP has to defend it.

More casual insanity served up to us by our government:

Any Burnham says he will stick to "the existing fiscal rules". Rules which neutered the state & delivered Potholed roads PFI infrastructure Huge NHS queues Privatisations Poverty Deindustrialisation Lower healthy life expectancy Low investment in productive assets and low productivity Must change.

Andy Burnham can’t transform the country while sticking to the current fiscal rules

Sticking to the 2024 election manifesto and fiscal rules will make it harder for him to deliver the headline promises and the change that he has paraded.
