RSPCA advice on keeping dogs safe in the heat: 'Dogs die on hot walks Dogs are 10 times more likely to suffer heat-related illnesses from exercising in hot weather than from overheating in cars. Learn how to keep dogs safe and help us raise awareness of this deadly problem.' https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/hotwalks?utm_source=Campaigns_Hotwalks_10072025&utm_medium=email&utm_content=button1&utm_campaign=Campaigns_Hotwalks_10072025&campaigncode=25STNFDIGVXA1

https://stoptrump.org.uk/petition-trump-iran/ 'Donald Trump has just joined Israel’s war on Iran, by dropping US bombs on the country directly. This is an extremely perilous moment for the world. The UN call it a “dangerous escalation”. Trump does not intend to stop here. He is already threatening “far greater” attacks on Iran unless it gives in to his demands. In response, Keir Starmer called for Iran to “return to the negotiating table”. This is not a response that meets the moment. The UK must urgently call for the US to stop bombing Iran and oppose Trump’s war.'
