For those of a certain age 😄

There is a cure for buffetphobia, but first you’ve got to want to help yourself.

REUTERS: SUNDAY'S MEXICO-ENGLAND GAME MOVED TO NOON LOCAL TIME - LOCAL MEDIA

lord god and jesus christ I do not ask for much but I am literally begging you this time

Bloody hell England. You don't half put us through it

So that's one who was involved in a hit and run of someone taking down flags, one who apparently punched someone to death outside a pub, and one who is a nonce - leading lights (well, dim bulbs) in a campaign Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper supported on television.

Stan Wawrinka, what a player. Bowing out of Wimbledon for the last time in classic Stan style.

A #hedgehog out in daylight usually means something is wrong - but not in this case! This busy female hedgehog is gathering nesting materials ready for the arrival of her hoglets 💚 If you see a busy, healthy 'hog like this one, you should leave them to go about their business. 📹 Jean Wildwood

Oh god he's opening the batting isn't he #BenStokes #TheCricket

The ECB has failed dismally to back and support one of the greatest players and most successful and inspirational captains ENG has ever had and they should hang their heads in abject shame - I'm looking at you Rob Key, Rob Andrew and Richard Gould. 2/2

Gobsmacked by the Ben Stokes news. Why announce it mid match?!

The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️

SHAKESPEAREAN HAIKU Shall I compare thee To a summer’s day? Alright – Thou art very hot.

🚨 We’re hiring a Senior Editor 🚨 We need an exceptional editorial leader - someone who can edit ambitious journalism, develop writers, and help shape the direction of one of the most exciting teams in British journalism.

RED POLLUTION ALERT | @cleanairlondon.bsky.social expects HIGH ozone air pollution on Thurs 25 June 2026. 1-hr 'Information threshold' (180 ug/m3) and 8-hr HIGH health band (161 ug/m3) may both be breached. Have @metoffice.gov.uk @ukhsa.bsky.social sent a press release to anyone about it? #CodeRed

It's probably time European journalists wrapped their heads around Heat Index (temp + relative humidity). In high humidity, sweating is less efficient, making heat worse, e.g.: Experiencing 35°C in London UK (70% RH) is more dangerous than 50°C in Phoenix Arizona (15% RH)

I am sitting here with the curtains closed and just a bra & skirt on.

Reform UK councillors have introduced a motion to rescind King's Lynn and West Norfolk's climate emergency declaration and deprioritise decarbonisation efforts The council were going to vote on it on Thursday But the meeting has been postponed due to extreme heat

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

My strongest memory of Starmer will be his 2024 conference speech, where he said "every child deserves respect", a young activist said "does that include the children of Gaza?", and he laughed and said "he's obviously got a pass to the 2019 conference".

Quite aside from ~ everything else ~ going on this week, hard not to feel as though there is a general underestimation of how serious the effects of the weather this week may be

Another one bites the dust.

Tuesday marks 50 years since the start of the infamous UK heatwave of 1976. The @metoffice.gov.uk app is predicting that day we'll smash the June temperature record of 35.6C set back then. Heading for a long run of 30C+ days. Climate writing its own script.

Reading University temperature records (since 1908): June: 34.0°C All-time: 37.6°C Forecast for Tuesday: 38°C Looks like we will obliterate the June record and maybe beat the all-time record.

The UKHSA has issued an Amber heat-health alert for London until Tuesday 23 June. Please stay safe during the hot weather. Not everyone copes well in the heat, so check in on older neighbours, friends and family, young children and anyone who may find it difficult to manage.

Zürich has come to a standstill. It was 40°C here today, it is now pouring rain, and the wind is so high that tree branches have fallen across the streets. The police have cleared the roads.The lobby of my hotel is filled with drenched people wrapped in towels. It looks like a disaster film.

Shout out to the Scots showing the lovely Americans what alcohol, travel insurance, and socialised health care waiting at home can achieve. "Big historical horsecunt was pure beggin' for a conin'", noted one onlooker.

long shot but if anyone spots or has found a box of chocs/cakes on the overground which has probably just arrived at Clapham Junction from Dalston I’d be very grateful of a shout

Where’s Andy Burnham going?

Exciting news about the discovery of three new weevil species: the seeno weevil, the hearno weevil and no no you’re right I’ll shut up

Loving Mark Wood on Sky's cricket commentary. Quite the double act with Stuart Broad #TheCricket

Congratulations to Andy Burnham for winning The Masked Singer.

Aerial PARTIAL view of the anti racist, anti fascist crowd in Belfast right now. City Hall to the left for scale. This - this is the real Belfast. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs

Oh man, RIP David Hockney. An absolutely uninterrupted career of stone cold art bangers
