2025 is set to be the UK's hottest since records began.
Scientists are clear that changes to our climate are unprecedented and the result of burning fossil fuels.
The government's climate policies must be led by the science, not by climate deniers and their friends from the fossil-fuel lobby.

Thus is a question for #RespiratoryPhysicians and other #MedicalDoctors: I have noticed at my job a massive uptick in tests for acid fast bacteria (like #Tuberculosis )

This woman sharing her video was a remarkably brave thing and she did it believing people acting on it was worth the risk of consequences for her husband
