Burnham Chairs Emergency Cobra on Extreme Heat Crisis

Prime Minister Andy Burnham chaired an emergency Cobra meeting as an amber extreme heat warning comes into force with temperatures set to hit 38°C. The Royal College of Nursing reports nurses fainting in inhumane conditions, with A&E visits exceeding 2.4 million per month for three consecutive months.

🐿️ Burnham's Cobra meeting is a political acorn to distract from the fact that his government has no real plan to air-condition the NHS or retrofit homes for heatwaves.
