On peut le dire clairement maintenant : nous nous dirigeons vers l’un des événements thermiques les plus spectaculaires jamais observés en France tout mois confondus, totalement hors du champ statistique de ce qui a été connu jusqu’à présent en mai. C’est absolument délirant :
➡️Le record national de chaleur pour un mois de mai pourrait être battu, avec plus de 36-37°C attendus en France pendant PLUSIEURS JOURS.
➡️Les 35°C pourraient remonter jusqu’à la moitié nord du pays, tandis que la Bretagne vivrait une situation totalement hors normes (il ne serait pas étonnant d'y approcher les 34°C !!). Nous sommes à +15°C au-dessus des normes sur la façade Atlantique !
➡️Lundi, mardi et mercredi pourraient devenir, de très loin, les journées les plus chaudes jamais observées en France en mai, avec plus de 30°C sur la quasi-totalité du territoire.
➡️Des records mensuels pourraient tomber plusieurs jours de suite, y compris sur des stations centenaires, tant l’épisode s’annonce intense et durable : jusqu’à 10 jours possibles.
➡️On est vraiment à la limite des seuils de canicules et de vague de chaleur : nous sommes en mai, au printemps !

Andy Burnham has said Labour needs to change.
He has ruled out rejoining EU.
He has ruled out PR.
He has ruled out borrowing more.
He has ruled out higher taxes.
He has ruled out changing immigration rules.
He has already told you, he won't change anything.

The Chelsea Flower Show is consistently one of the most shit events of the summer but no-one calls it out because of the celebs/journos/influencers etc are getting free tickets to the opening night thing that civilians are banned from

Not my usual tweet but I want a little rant. I got gifted 2 tickets to the Chelsea Flower Show so went with a friend yesterday. We paid for an overnight stay in a hotel, train fares and food. I can honestly say it was AWFUL. It was unbelievably busy with huge numbers of people making it impossible to walk - we were just shoved along by the crowd. I couldn’t see any of the show gardens because the fight to see them was 5 people deep. Even if you did get to the front you were being pressured to move on. We gave up after 3 hours and went to the Chelsea Physic Garden along the road which was a much welcome oasis of calm. The organisers of the show should be ashamed of themselves. Visitor numbers need limiting and I feel so sorry for anyone for whom this was a first time long awaited visit #RHSChelsea #RHSChelseaFlowerShow @GWandShows @GWandShows @The_RHS

@KemiBadenoch In 2013 Prof Brian Ashcroft of Strathclyde University calculated that around 70% of all oil and gas industry post-tax profits amounting to £19bn were remitted abroad “reflecting the high degree of foreign ownership”
The Tories enabled that. Norway did the opposite

@pressjournal Vestas the Danish wind turbine manufacturer employs 7,000 or so in Denmark. NKT A/S the Danish subsea cable company employs 6,000. About 3,000 work in the biogas sector. Aberdeen has none of this. Surely we should be asking why this is?

"Impression, Sunrise" was born 3 years after "The Magpie."
Monet was still broke.
And the Paris Salon had rejected him for years.
So he and a new generation of artists rebelled.
They bypassed the elite system entirely. And launched their own independent exhibition.
Critics mocked their raw style, dismissing the paintings as mere "impressions."
Instead of backing down, they took it as a compliment. They proudly called themselves the Impressionists.
The revolution exploded. The rest is history.
Impressions@impression_ists
Monet painted The Magpie when he was 28. No one knew him. He had just become a father and was living in extreme poverty. He presented it at the Paris Salon and they laughed at him. They told him it was unfinished.

This is IMHO the finest evaluation of Scotland's so-called independence referendum in 2014 that I have read: x.com/decolonise_Sco… It carefully analyses & illustrates how Scots were conned by the British Anglos State. A must read for all Scots who cherish democracy & freedom.

Eas Fors waterfall on the Isle of Mull. Its name is a fascinating linguistic repeat: "Eas" is the Scottish Gaelic word for waterfall, and "Fors" (derived from Old Norse) also means waterfall. Added to the English word, its literal meaning is "waterfall waterfall waterfall".

@Anthony58340236 We'd all have had to switch to driving on the right after independence according to Andy Burnham. holyrood.com/inside-politic…

Everest has become nothing more than a circus. Hundreds upon hundreds of people queueing up to reach the summit, many interested only in doing it for their own ego.
I have been asked in the past would I like to climb Everest.
No. Never.

The wonderful two-mile long beach at Lunan Bay, on the coast of Angus south of Montrose. Backed by dunes and a ruined castle and framed by low cliffs to the north and south, this is high on our list of Scotland's best beaches. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/montrose/lunan…
