@28WordAverage And did anyone hear @BBCRadio4 news at 10am today describe her as an "Australian qualifier"? Unforgivable. Go Kiwi Lu!!

Ironic the way British 🇬🇧 media are talking down Lulu Sun in the lead up to her #Wimbledon match against Emma Raducanu. Heading into the tournament the Brit🇬🇧 ranked 135th while the NZer 🇳🇿 was 121st. Now they’re at 93 and 74 respectively 🤷🏽‍♂️

@BBCRadio4 news just referred to Lulu Sun as an "Australian qualifier". I thought we'd got past this kind of insult decades ago? #Wimbl

@TennisNZ Well she's done it almost entirely under the radar to a British audience. Let's hope she copes with the spotlight next round. Go Lulu!

Lulu Sun into last 16 at Wimbledon tennis.kiwi/news/lulu-sun-…

@KateRaworth Sadly not a chance with Rachel Reeves as chancellor. And who in the current Labour Party would break the growth-at-all-costs consensus? Time for Green MPs to step up and make the case!

I gave Keir Starmer a copy of Doughnut Economics just 10 days before he became Labour Party Leader. So will the book make it onto his bookshelves in Number 10? More importantly: will policies for a regenerative & distributive UK become real under this government?...

@WTA @EmmaRaducanu Looking forward to her encounter with the feisty Lulu Sun, who has been blazing a similar trail to Emma through quallies... Go Lulu!

hold on to your strawberries & cream 🍓 @EmmaRaducanu picks up the win against Sakkari once again, 6-2, 6-3. #Wimbledon

Another brilliant, gutsy win by Lulu Sun! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🎾

@WTA @Wimbledon HUGE congratulations to Lulu Sun! What a result!

THIS is how to make an entrance 👀 Qualifier Lulu Sun upsets No. 8 seed Zheng 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 in her @Wimbledon debut!

@PGDynes Or indeed working outside without water breaks :(

There is a significant chance of Wet Bulb Temperatures affecting multiple states in the US over the next few days. It appears that certain areas in #Texas may face serious issues if there is a power outage or if people are without proper cooling systems.

@RichardJMurphy It's a false choice. We need to drastically scale back our energy use, ration liquid fuel and prioritise a transition.

The planet is burning and the Tory response is to stoke the fire. Unbelievably, this is from the FT this morning:

Confettigate: A Statement From Just Stop Oil The lady who threw confetti in Bruton yesterday was upholding a tradition that is common across many cultures. We absolutely defend the right for people to throw confetti (of whatever colour) at weddings and other celebrations. If it was a form of protest — which is yet to be established — we applaud it and thank the person concerned. It was peaceful and not especially disruptive, but got massive media attention for Just Stop Oil’s demand. It has also helped people to recall that George Osborne, one of the main architects of economic austerity, is directly responsible for over 300,000 excess deaths, and that — as a newspaper editor — he was responsible for some of the most egregious climate-denying nonsense ever to darken the pages of mainstream mass media. However, as much as we applaud the use of orange confetti at this wedding, we were not responsible. Perhaps the press could focus on something more important now? Like the current government’s plans to licence over 100 new oil and gas projects, which will result in excess deaths the likes of which we have never seen. Or the fact that the UN Secretary General has said that ‘climate change is out of control’ as we’ve just seen the hottest average temperatures since records began. Or the fact that Canadian wildfires have now burned down an area the size of Portugal. We are in catastrophically dangerous territory and the press have a moral responsibility to inform and educate people as to the causes of the crisis so that we can take action to defend ourselves. In 2023, it is simply criminal not to check your facts.

@MKG_SCIENCE @gcw09 @ScottDuncanWX Remind us of your specialism?

@gcw09 @ScottDuncanWX I disagree entirely. On all of it. Too many facets in the system to convince me that 1 aspect, i.e: us, Is the be all end all factor.

This is how the sea surface temperatures look right now. 🟥 = Warmer than average 🟦 = Cooler than average Records are being broken every day.

"What is happening!?" indeed....

🌡️☀️BREAKING☀️🌡️ Record sunshine and heat and over 15,000 deaths in Europe, but no mention of the strongest regional climate forcing! This is gross negligence.

@RogerHallamCS21 Gosh, we are selfish wankers for holding up a few Range Rover mums and Ocado delivery vans in north-west London. Apparently I don't care about anyone else's rights. What was it Gandhi said about cars? He was right.

What is the private topic of conversation in the climate elites? When Vietnam will no longer be able to grow rice due to heat and flooding? Translation: collapse of food security in SE Asia. Translation: mass death. twitter.com/extremetemps/s…

Holding up a few Range Rover mums and Ocado delivery vehicles in leafy Maida Vale. Not too many shouts of 'wanker' per mile... #NoNewFossilFuels #JustStopOil #NotMyBill #CitizensAssembly
