It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄
Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇
So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves
Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage

Let's start by saying:
Yes, it was very hot in 1976
Yes, it lasted for several weeks
Yes, it was accompanied by a drought that lasted many months
Yes, it was an extraordinary event
Which is why it has stuck in the British consciousness BECAUSE it was so unusual
And yet...

And yet...
The peak temperature in 1976 was 35.9°C
That doesn't even make the top 10 of UK record temperatures.
The 1911 record stood for 79 years
The 1990 record stood for 13 years
The 2003 record stood for 16 years
The 2022 record may be broken this week, after 4 years

NEW🚨: I've put the whole COVID origins story in one place. It's been dribbling out in fragments for six years, a hearing here, a court filing there, a document dump months later. Pulled together, it's actually pretty clear. And it starts with a grant. 🧵1/12
🧵2/12 2014: Fauci's NIAID gives a nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance a $3.75M grant to study bat coronaviruses. About $750k of it goes straight to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Five years before the outbreak starts in that exact city.
🧵3/12 That was one stream of many. USAID poured over $53M into EcoHealth across the years. The Pentagon kicked in around $42M. Peter Daszak's group was the bridge between American money and the Wuhan lab. Remember his name, he keeps showing up.
It’s easy to turn a blind eye when a change doesn’t immediately impact your front yard. But a classic "boiling frog" scenario is happening right now in California, and most people are completely oblivious.
Hemp is just the latest easy target.
Hemp is just the latest easy target.
Under the radar, California’s devastating regulatory crackdowns completely strip away access to full-spectrum hemp products, forcing a strict "zero-THC" standard that effectively kills the natural plant industry.
The indifferent onlookers say, "Who cares? It's just hemp."
The indifferent onlookers say, "Who cares? It's just hemp."
But they conveniently ignore the millions of people who medically rely on this plant every single day to survive and function.
Let’s be entirely clear: We hate the grifters too. Legitimate advocates have been begging for common-sense, strict regulation for years.

This intriguing notice from CGTN:
I'd like to note that since early March I've been (a) noting the essential (thought quiet) role #China has been playing behind the scenes, to buttress Pakistan's diplomacy to end the US-Iran conflict , and also >helenacobban.substack.com/p/war-on-iran-…
(b) calling for establishing GCC-Iran security coordination by creating a "Zone of Peace" in the Gulf (Mar 11): . >helenacobban.substack.com/p/the-iran-war…

Every company I talk to is fighting some version of the same problem:
• How do we say yes to agents instead of no?
• How do we connect them to our real tools, data, and context?
• How do we get visibility and control everywhere an agent touches?
Runlayer solves this.

1/ Russian commanders are being accused of failing to ensure that their soldiers do not wear neo-Nazi and far-right insignia. The practice is said to be widespread. However, a crackdown is apparently underway, with offenders being sent to die in assault units. ⬇️
2/ Throughout the war in Ukraine, Russian soldiers have been photographed wearing unofficial patches representing extremist ideologies, such as death's-head insignia, Nazi runes, and the "black sun" Sonnenrad symbol.
3/ This reflects the appeal of far-right and neo-Nazi ideology among Russian nationalists. (Indeed, there is an entire neo-Nazi paramilitary group, the Sabotage Assault Reconnaissance Group (DShRG) 'Rusich', fighting alongside the Russian regular forces.)
Another Statement in @HouseofCommons on another report on maternity care failures. The brilliant @DOckendenLtd has huge cross-party respect, but I'm sick of no meaningful change - 2 yrs after the 1st ever Parliament report on Birth Trauma, and 4 yrs after the East Kent report...
Some brilliant contributions today in the Chamber, especially from @HelenMorganMP and @PauletteHamilto who spoke so powerfully from her own experience. We have to stop talking, stop doing the same reports, stop changing Health Secretaries, and bring about meaningful change.
If we don't, we should expect to see this issue, that touches almost every voter's life at some point, factored in to future elections. As Chair of the APPG on Birth Trauma, I'll continue to work with the great @BirthTrauma and @masic_uk and of course my friend @theodoraclarke 💜

Ashura is coming…
A day of mercy, reflection, and gratitude, and a day the Prophet ﷺ fasted, hoping for forgiveness for the year before it.
Don’t wait until the last hour to think about what to ask for. Sit with your heart now. Write every dua down.

Ask for:
• forgiveness for sins you’ve been carrying
• healing for what you’ve been silently dealing with
• guidance for the parts of your life that feel unclear
• relief from worries and hardships
• protection for your family and loved ones

Second afternoon session, day one, of the employment tribunal of Samantha Tempest v Defra and the Rural Payments Agency. We expect to return some time after 2.50pm.
J This is our unanimous decision on C application to amend claim. C applies to inc allegation that Rs are liable under section 109 2 for actions of EW and AM - actions done as agents for R. Application R liable was first made in 2023. Remains a boiler plate contention

This is the afternoon session, day one, of the employment tribunal of Samantha Tempest v Defra and the Rural Payments Agency, due to begin at 2pm. (PQ is no longer a party.)
Tempest (the claimant or C) is claiming discrimination, harassment and/or victimisation on grounds of gender reassignment. Central to the claim is the Sex Equality and Equity Network in the Civil Service (SEEN or IP). SEEN has been granted right to intervene.
🧵Schedule F is back.
Trump is resurrecting the most important executive reform of his first term — and it’s aimed directly at the Deep State.
If the President can't fire policy makers, why'd we have an election at all?
This is about restoring power to the voters by restoring Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.

2/ Schedule F creates a new category for policy-making and policy-implementing federal employees.
These positions will no longer have near-ironclad permanent employment.
The President, as head of the executive branch, can once again hire, manage, and remove people who "resist" the agenda voters chose...or who are just bad at their jobs!

3/ The Founders vested all executive power in the President. They never intended an unaccountable fourth branch of government.
The modern administrative state — insulated bureaucrats who view elected leaders as temporary — is a 20th-century invention that inverted constitutional order.
Schedule F begins to claw it back.
