@TCHOSEN87 @The_TUC I never said it did. Can you not read? I was critical of the suggestion to pass a blanket law to ban working above 27 degrees as suggested by the poster. The suggestion is stupid as is anyone who advocates for it.

@FosM82 @The_TUC So why does that mean everyone else should work in the same conditions?

BREAKING 🚨 | As Britain's first heatwave of 2026 begins, the TUC is calling for a maximum working temperature to protect workers. Workers should be able to stop work above 30°C, or 27°C for those doing strenuous jobs. With heatwaves becoming more common, we need new laws on maximum working temperatures, cooler workplaces, and climate action to reduce global heating.

@TCHOSEN87 @The_TUC Some jobs don’t lend themselves to ‘decent working conditions’….. Does my team grumble when it hits 30 degrees, nope - they just crack on and get your power restored. Benefit scrounger? 🙄 Your clueless mate.

@FosM82 @The_TUC I reckon you’ve only worked in retail. Proper Karen by the sounds of you. Imagine thinking decent working conditions makes you a pansies. Get back to work you benefit scrounger.

@rebekahlynndow @NiohBerg How does a country heal from such horror? Healing isn’t a requirement here, stopping it happening again is.

@NiohBerg It’s tough 2 have hope in healing if we’re holding on 2 hurt. But 2 your point: that’s exactly how evil people take advantage of the psychological & spiritual warfare. Extremists are willing 2 manipulate faith, culture, fear, and compassion itself 2 advance violence & deception.

I never understood the official reactions after the Manchester Arena bombing. To bombard the public with "don't look back in anger" when this should have been a wakeup call about Islamic extremism (the terrorists had both fought in Libya's civil war on the side of islamists). To aggressively ignore the problem in this way wasn't right then, and it isn't right now. It's okay to look back in anger. It doesn't automatically make you a bad person. If you channel your anger into real, legal and peaceful action to change the state of this country, what's so wrong about that? It sure is better than covering your eyes and ears. Maybe it's because I'm from Iran and all too familiar with what happens when these dangers are allowed to fester. But all I see in this crowd are well intentioned, tragically naive people who didn't learn anything.

@NiohBerg This. We have become a country convinced that confronting Islamic extremism is an evil in itself. Our leaders are that scared of the possibility of being accused of racism that they prefer to see children raped and blown up rather than stick their head above the parapet

@Channel4News I mean it’s not nice to see anyone heckled in the street but these Labour cabinet politicians are awful people. Don’t expect to be able to walk the streets without getting abuse if you happily force foreign unvetted men into communities & ignore the crimes they commit I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Just because you’ve got a flag in your van and you scream at people in the street doesn’t make you a patriot." Chancellor Rachel Reeves tells Channel 4 News' Economics Editor Helia Ebrahimi that being a patriot is about "loving this country and treating other people with respect", after being heckled during a previous interview.

@AndyBurnhamGM Manchester arena was the result of the UK’s historical lax asylum processes & a huge failure of our establishments to acknowledge the radical Islamic problem in this country. A problem that is growing day by day. Will Burnham as PM have the balls to address this? No chance.

Today we think of everyone affected by the attack in Manchester on the night of the 22nd May 2017, and particularly the families who lost loved-ones, knowing that every single day of the nine years since has been hard for them. We are still at their side and always will be. 🐝

@benonwine Yes, they are meant to be running the country, not having a fucking party. If they can’t get through a work day without needing a drink they should resign.

Should MPs be banned from drinking alcohol when they are at work?

@BillyHo_Golf Great achievement to be beating a formidable opponent for 10 years. Admirable to see her ‘putting herself out there’ to be judged - its actions like this that make it easier for others to start the same journey. Wishing good luck for the future and good health to the family.

315,569,520 seconds. 5,259,492 mins. 87,658 hours. 3,652 days. 521 weeks. 120 months. 10 years. That is how long my best friend, amazing wife, caring and loving mother has been SOBER! It has been special to see this journey you have taken from the first photo when you are in rehab to the last photo this past weekend. It has not been easy or smooth sailing to see the person you are now but you have taken everything you have learned at rehab, have used those skills, developed more skills, taken it one day at a time and now have grown and evolved into who you are 10 years later. The journey and path is never over for someone in recovery but I know you are stronger than ever and will be able to tackle any challenge that may arise in the future. The kids and I are so proud of you! Keep going! One day at a time! We love you! ❤️😘 To anyone who is struggling with addiction, let me say that life on the other side, the sober side…. is amazing and achievable. I’ve seen it first hand with my wife but also with my other friends. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet so many amazing people over the last 10 years that are living a life like my wife. Sober. Happy. Enjoying life. And also telling me that they could never imagine life could be like this when they were in the thralls of their addiction. Sobriety is possible. You have to want it. Your loved ones can only do so much. You first have to admit that you have a problem, an addiction, and you want to get sober. Once you do that, there are millions of people who are living a sober life that want to help other people live sober. You have to ask for help. Whether it be loved ones or someone in the sober community. I’ve been lucky to be part of this community with my wife and it’s an amazing, loving, caring community. There is no judgement. Everybody’s ego is checked at the door. All they want is to help one another on their path of sobriety. Addiction doesn’t have to be a life sentence. You just have to want to be sober. Nobody can want it more than you. There are people out there wanting to help but you have to take the first step. Wishing everyone who is dealing with addiction that they find the path to sobriety. ❤️ @britthorschel

@bencsmoke Morally repugnant? Nothing like a one size fits all sweeping statement that is totally devoid of any nuance or rationale. The kind of divisive nonsense that does nothing to make this country better for anyone.

being a landlord is morally repugnant. remains a great social failure that we allow landlords to extort profit from working people for the luxury of 'having shelter'. they must be taxed into oblivion, releasing housing stock, bringing down prices + making living affordable.

@SnobbyScheffler Driver without doubt. My short game and putting is razor sharp along with my wedge game. If I’m playing from the fairway 350 yards from the tees on every par 4&5 I’d be on the tour.

Would You Rather Wednesday: Would you rather 1) Make every putt between 10-20 feet or 2) Be able to hit your driver exactly where you want every time with distance up to 350 yards

@JuliaHB1 @LozzaFox Obviously they won’t be. Are they corrupt is the more relevant question.

Are the jury blind?

@linmeitalks It’s not difficult….. a lot of minorities are here purely to milk as much as they can from the UK…. it’s a grift basically. We are soft, they sense it and take advantage.

I honestly have no idea why so many minorities still live in the U.K. if they hate the flag, don’t want to protect the borders of the country they live in, are so negative to white people even though this is a white country. Start saving today and leave, I’m sure you’ll be happier elsewhere. Sad thing is many actually have the money to leave but will stay in the U.K. & complain about everything …. Go to a country where you love the system and love everyone in it - problem solved

@asianmomriot @freed_panda @ZiaYusufUK @Bobbybollocks2 Dodge style sackings? They would be refusing to do their job because they didn’t like how democracy panned out….. It’s a huge and very silly mindset to say that reform would be in the wrong in getting rid of them.

@freed_panda @ZiaYusufUK @Bobbybollocks2 Agreed. But en-masse Doge style sackings aren't the answer. A lot of civil service jobs are extremely non-political, very boring and very essential.

Good luck to them. Our legislation will mean they’ll lose their jobs and their employer pensions if they do this. And save the taxpayer huge sums in redundancy pay! Everyone wins!

@andrewlawrence Really don’t get this. Burnham is a regular runner and seems to always have been from memory. So he threw an old short & footy shirt on to go for a run….. so what? Why are we shaming people for exercise now. Am not sure he’l be my cup of tea as PM but this is all a bit silly.

I genuinely don't believe this man has ever been for a run before in his life.

@fullback03 Kemi is growing on me.

F*cking hell she’s good.

@narindertweets @policylaila @albieamankona Narinder is a fine example of the race baiting stupidity that has sadly become a characteristic of people on her side of the argument. Her thoughts & comments are devoid of any rationale. She is too bigoted to realise that people like her will guarantee a Reform win next GE.

How weird. Why those names? Change James to shaheed and same difference! Also - are you actually comparing the plight of vulnerable asylum seekers to a man who isn't escaping torture and possible death? Also- James's parents are probably sat on a fortune and can help him out. Shaheeds parents are most likely dead.

Two men live in Zone 2 London. Both are around 30. Both sleep in a one-bed flat. But only one believes he has a future in the city. James was born in London. He went to university, got a degree, found a decent job and now works at a marketing firm near Old Street. He earns just under £60,000 a year. On paper, he is doing well. But every month James opens his payslip and watches a third of it vanish before he ever sees it. Income tax.National Insurance.Student loan.Then comes the rent. Nearly £2,000 a month for a small one-bed flat with mould around the windows and a landlord who only renews the tenancy six months at a time. Every evening James scrolls Rightmove looking at tiny flats he cannot afford in the city he grew up in. Even the cheapest one-beds near him now cost around £400,000. The deposit alone feels impossible despite earning more than most people in Britain. His parents bought their first home younger than he is now. James still does not know if he will ever own one. So he keeps renting.Keeps waiting. He watches friends delay children. People earning what used to be considered “good money” still checking every direct debit before payday. Now meet Shaheed. He arrived in Britain recently and was granted refugee status. He does not work. He lives in a one-bed flat in East London. His housing costs and council tax are largely covered through the welfare system. He qualifies for free prescriptions, dental treatment and eye tests. He does not spend his evenings worrying whether the next rent rise will wipe out what little he has left at the end of the month. And this is the part driving so much public anger. James works full time, pays a fortune in tax and still cannot see a long-term future in the city he was born in. Shaheed does not work, yet has more housing security than the man whose taxes help fund the system. That is how a city loses its young people, because they stop believing hard work leads anywhere. London has to become a city where the people who work, contribute and build lives here can realistically afford homes, raise families and feel secure again.

@Channel4News He is an egotistical snake by the looks of how he is behaving. He can’t take criticism and behaves like a spoilt brat. His temperament is terrible. He will be worse than Starmer and that is some achievement.

@Sicloudstorm @stellacreasy For me it was the EU’s shortsightedness and lack of flexibility. It failed on the asylum crisis of 2015 (and still is) & the EU literally built the Russian armed forces from 2000 onwards, funding it via buying its energy when we knew all along that Putin was a bad man.

@stellacreasy I wish someone can tell me what exactly was wrong with being in the EU without breaking out in an emotional spasm

The opportunity in the kings speech to reset our relationship with Europe now cannot be lost - but that means ripping up the red lines on the single market, customs union and freedom of movement that will keep holding us back. Join me in the Labour Movement for Europe fighting for our future in Europe in this Parliament. labourmovementforeurope.uk/redlines?splas…

@stellacreasy This is awful politics. The country voted to leave and to just dismiss that will do nothing to heal this country or its divisions. Sure, there are convo’s to be had about our future relationship with EU but this from Stella isn’t that. This is seeking re-entry via the backdoor.
