There were 1,311 heat related deaths in 2024.
Summers in the UK are getting hotter, and drier.
So to deal with this, planning law makes it difficult to install air conditioning in new builds.
Why?
Met Office@metoffice
We have provisionally broken the UK record for highest daily minimum temperature in May... again 😮 Temperatures didn't fall below 21.3°C overnight at Kenley Airfield, making it a 'tropical night' (no lower than 20°C). Remarkably, the record was also broken yesterday.

A quango must give every website an age rating before it can be shown to anyone, including rating the previews that are shown on search engines. This is a great idea

The implementation of procurement regulations at most public sector organizations literally do not allow preferential treatment of British companies and are instead entirely focused on value for money (buying the cheapest even when it costs more)
Kiran Stacey@kiranstacey
EXC: Rachel Reeves has told ministers they need to start buying British and that she’s “disappointed” they keep giving contracts to foreign companies.

This has to be a misquote of the judge, there's no way he told the jury that you're allowed to carry a knife in public for self defence in Britain

Employers should not be able to increase salaries unless they are increasing the duties/responsibilities

Landlords should not be able to increase rent unless they are upgrading the property/apartment.

Maybe, since the Lime bikes are so popular, they should get rid of the car parking spaces and replace them with bike parking spaces

There's clearly a bunch of cars parked on the road that the emergency vehicles could use, the same way all those cars managed to to park there

Even worse than we filmed a video about Lime Bikes outside Hampstead Heath Station @VinnieSull1van Imagine Emergency Vehicles trying to get past this lot,Absolutely ridiculous and out of control👀👀☀️🍻🍻

I don't get how anyone thinks this isn't what Britain is meant to be like? It's fucking amazing

Every time people talk about reindustrialisation in the UK their solutions are always tougher restrictions and more subsidy rather than changing the rules in such a way that industry actually wants to locate here.
Ben Glover@bengglover
Filling that in would demand: : (1) A truly industrial strategy - ours is too focused on services. (2) Buy British to ensure more govt spending goes to UK suppliers. (3) Rebuild UK PLC and reduce foreign buy-outs of key strategic industries. 7/

The King became a pioneer of sustainable communities when he built his Poundbury model town in Dorset. Now he is going global by helping other countries solve problems with urban planning. Through his King’s Foundation charity, the monarch is making cutting-edge technology available to developing countries ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2…

I can't believe appointing a NIMBY (Steve Reed has a record of NIMBYism) as housing secretary hasn't led to a housing boom

EXCL: Rachel Reeves furiously rounded on Steve Reed after Cabinet this week – having a pop at him over not building enough homes. An onlooker said it was a "very grumpy exchange". Tensions are high in the Cabinet as many fear they could get the chop. thesun.co.uk/news/39196643/…

We need targeted payments to vulnerable working families, to ensure they can watch this one particular football game. This will be funded by stopping work on the Leeds Bus Rapid Transit business case
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
Football should bring people together, not shut them out. For the first time since the competition began, fans won’t be able to watch the Champions League final for free. That’s not right. This is bigger than wanting to watch Arsenal in this historic final. It’s bigger than one club. Hardworking people shouldn’t have to fork out for a subscription to watch this match. I urge TNT Sports to reconsider and make the final next Saturday free to watch.
