Quite simply we all deserve to be safe and be protected. And there's quite a clear political case for the government too. https://labourlist.org/2026/08/working-class-communities-deserve-a-bold-climate-plan-from-labour/04 Aug 2026 14:28 +0000at://did:plc:oy2cpejo7ecl6uymt7zdplaw/app.bsky.feed.post/3msb7wim6222dhttps://bsky.app/profile/sofiejenkinson.bsky.social/post/3mqk3qcndps2tSo I wrote about it again lads.

The @ukhsa.bsky.social have issued a heat health alert because the levels of heat we are going to see across the weekend are going to be dangerous for some people - especially those who are older or pregnant.
