We have spent the past 3 years lecturing Russia about international law, but Israel launches a war against Iran, assassinates scientists and bombs civilian infrastructure, but she doesn't say a word about it and only talks about Iran. We are a fucking joke, it's truly pathetic.

Met Office: UK temperatures of 45C+ now possible in today’s climate, while heatwaves could go on for over a month. We are not ready for what's coming, or taking fast enough action to prevent even worse. Government's 1st duty is to protect citizens. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…
