Dear Climate change deniers . Today UK broke it's May temperature record by 2C. The UK has temperature records going back 350 years and in all that time we have never come close to this May temp. Without climate change this temp in UK would be impossible

@volcaholic1 Pissing down usually.

It’s May!!! Wtf is it going to be like in Summer 😭

@HJB_News__ @DeborahWorboys1 Coming to a house near you.

Danny Tommo shows what’s going on. Nearly 400 yesterday and more today. It’s never going to end!

@FUDdaily Navy days 🤣🤣, embarrassing or what.

Winding down the Red Arrows is part of a broader retreat of the armed forces from public life. The Royal Tournament was once a pillar of British culture, as was the great British airshow. There used to be a dozen RAF station open days, but now there is only one official RAF airshow - at which the F35 makes only a cursory appearance, and most of the line up is classic aircraft in private hands. We have stopped showcasing our military. It plays no real part in boyhood anymore - and then the same pinheaded accountant class wonder why nobody wants to join the forces and any sense of national unity is collapsing. They stopped the Royal Navy's Yeovilton Air Day because of Covid and then never re-started it, and I struggle to think of any military events north of the M62. The BBMF seldom ventures north of Bradford, and the main RAF presence is RIAT which is hundreds of miles away for most people, and costs £70 per adult. The airshow tradition is mainly upheld by small independent events, and though they are excellent, young people don't get the experience of being on an active military base. By the time I was of military age, I'd already been to RAF Valley, Cosford, Leeming, Culdrose, Alconbury, Finningley and Waddington. Because of this, while I never joined the armed forces, I have maintained a lifelong appreciation for the armed forces and take a keen intertest in defence affairs. Politically, we suffer from defence illiteracy, and we're making it worse because defence of the realm is not integrated into public life. cc: @thinkdefence @UKDefJournal

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump POTUS is sure to listen to Piers Morgan 😅😅 who are you again?

All the signs are pointing to the U.S. and Israel launching another huge attack on Iran. I urge President @realDonaldTrump not to do it. This war’s been damaging enough without yet more mayhem being unleashed.

@ick_real Why would they be shopping if they can't afford to pay?

You’re at checkout and a elderly person can’t afford a loaf of bread and dozen of eggs do you step in and pay?

@GBNEWS What an absolute whopper. Climate change deciple. Where do they find these oddballs?

'It is daunting to get an intense heatwave so early... This is indicative of what we say about global warming.' Weather expert Phil Morrish reacts as Britain braces for record heat over the bank holiday weekend.

I am absolutely fuming 🤬 I've just watched a TV ad for Richmond sausages. It depicted a family of 6 sitting around a table eating their evening meal. Shockingly, they were all white. No one wearing a hijab, no random Chinese kid, no mixed race twins. There wasn't even a blue haired, nose pierced person of indistinct gender. And all this was broadcast during the early evening when impressionable children could be watching. Absolutely disgusting.

@opsylojay1 You do chat some shite.

My mom worked double shifts at the diner for 18 years. Never missed a day. After she passed, I was cleaning out her old apron. Found a folded receipt in the pocket. It wasn’t a receipt. It was a list. Written in her handwriting...

@AWenham1 @BoludaCM @HMNBPortsmouth @NavyLookout @ShippingMag @ShipsMonthly I'm not saying anything, I've still got my tin helmet on.😅

Englishman at work (don't mention the jack still flying!!) @BoludaCM @HMNBPortsmouth @NavyLookout @ShippingMag @ShipsMonthly

@AWenham1 @ShippingButters @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker @HMNBPortsmouth @RoyalNavy 😁

@ShippingButters @Knocker07047718 @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker @HMNBPortsmouth @RoyalNavy Certainly started something here!

One's right and one's wrong.... @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker

@ShippingButters @AWenham1 @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker @HMNBPortsmouth @RoyalNavy Who am I to argue with the Flag Lt 😄. Having been Yeoman to FOF2 my advice would have been the same. I would probably have paid the price if I had been wrong. Thank goodness I'm now a civvy. Regards to you sir.

@AWenham1 @Knocker07047718 @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker @HMNBPortsmouth @RoyalNavy 🤭🤭🤭😁 only thing I abs know, is that the Union Flag is never flown at sea, unless it’s as a jack in an RN warship’s bows, or a Court Martial is being held onboard or an Admiral of the Fleet has flag shifted afloat.

@ShippingButters @AWenham1 @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker @HMNBPortsmouth @RoyalNavy Not quite right Paul, courtesy states that foreign warships should fly the national flag of the country being visited which in this case is the Union flag. The ship to port is flying the flag upside down. No browny points for the Yeoman.

@AWenham1 @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker They are both wrong and should fly the White Ensign as their courtesy flag, not a Union flag (right or wrong way up!!) unless they are hosting a UK national Court Martial! Surely @HMNBPortsmouth or @RoyalNavy could help?

@ECOWARRIORSS Followed by the deadly icemelt virus that will be highly contagious and we all die. 😁🤡

"‘doomsday’ glacier’s giant ice shelf is about to break away Worse still, its collapse is expected to set off a domino effect in the entire West Antarctic ice sheet, ultimately resulting in a calamitous sea-level rise of 3.3 metres and changing the coastline of the entire planet"

@PGDynes Ed Millipede pupil. 😅

Europe is swinging from Arctic frosts to near-35°C heat within days. Some parts will warm by ~15°C in a week. Agriculture does not thrive under violent thermal instability. Ecosystems depend on stability, not a whiplash. This is what climate instability looks like in practice.

@opsylojay1 "What song was playing on the radio". 😁 deaf dumb and blind man sure played a mean pinball.

Turns out, for 23 years, every morning he’d pick up a blind kid at the same stop. Kid’s name was Jamal. Dad learned his name week 1, even though Jamal never said a word back. Dad would describe the weather, the traffic, what song was playing on the radio. Just narrating the ride so Jamal wouldn’t feel lost in the dark. The letters were from Jamal. All 23 years’ worth. Last letter said: “Mr. Chen, you were the first person who made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the world. I’m a teacher now. I do the same thing for my students who won’t make eye contact. I tell them about the weather. Thank you for teaching me how.” At the funeral, a guy I’d never met walked up and said: “My dad taught me that kindness doesn’t need a reply to be real.” That was Jamal. I had no idea my quiet dad was someone’s reason for speaking.

My dad was a bus driver for 23 years. Same route, 5AM-1PM, every weekday. He never talked about work at home. When he died, we got a package at the house. No return address. Inside was a shoebox full of letters and one note: “Open these when you’re ready to understand your dad”

@IntercityFC @ShipWrektPod @TheAngry53586 @DMBrookfield @LatinMilAv Just listened to this Tim a very informative 4 hours from all the team. 👍

🧵 @ShipWrektPod crew of @TheAngry53586 @DMBrookfield & @LatinMilAv & I did an X space on Saturday night. Subject was loss of HMS Sheffield in 1982. We did a podcast on this a couple of years ago.

@Jannerman55 @OnthisdayRN @janetcwebsterb1 On Glamorgan we had Rimsky Korsakov a parrot 🦜 picked up from our travels, lost in the fan trunking but heard throughout the ship 😁 never to be seen again.

#OnThisDay in 1975 the Royal Navy introduced rabies rules which ended cats and dogs in it's ships. Up until WW2 there were so many animals as mascots and gifts that the base HMS Excellent at Portsmouth had a zoo to care for them.

@PoliticAtheist @JamesCleverly Ha, nice one.👍

@JamesCleverly You've removed the Ukrainian from your bio. Let that sink in. 🤷‍♂️

One of the first decisions made by Essex Reform was to remove the Ukrainian flag from County Council HQ. Let that sink in. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@CliveWardauthor A chef.

Something missing!!?
