Let's clear this up The map labelled "1976" is actually from 2022 Even if you take the max temperature that year (35.9°C), it's still 4.4 less than the max temperature in 2022 (40.3°C) Climate change denial relies on disinformation like this 👇

☀️ Anyone else remember the summer of ‘76 ?
Readers added context
The peak temperature in 1976 was 35.9C. The map is therefore incorrect and misleading. bbc.co.uk/news/62212604

C4News, "The Prime Minister Keir Starmer, unusually, chose to take only one broadcaster, GB News" What word would you use to describe a PM who only takes GB News on a trip to another country?

We've entered a very odd moment in British politics where it's both Labour and the Conservatives' best interest to support proportional representation...
