KB: 'Has the PM checked out?' Grant Shapps: 'That's literally not true, in fact, exactly the opposite is true'. KB: 'What's he doing flying typhoons?' The transport secretary is quizzed by KayBurley on Boris Johnson's response to the UK heatwave.

Sky's science correspondent Thomas Moore

"Just to put that in context, the previous high was 23.9C reached in Brighton in August 1990," says Moore."There is a very close relationship between night-time temperatures and the risk of death," he says. As we reported throughout yesterday, Britain's transport infrastructure is struggling to cope with the extreme heat and there is expected to be widespread disruption across roads and rail today.

It'll be cooler and more cloudy in the North West with outbreaks of rain that may turn heavy at times.That will clear away overnight, along with showers over north-eastern England.It'll be another warm night, especially in the south and east, but cooler and a little more comfortable than last night.It appears the UK has broken its night-time temperature record as 26C was recorded in Emley Moor, West Yorkshire.

There will be no Thameslink or Great Northern trains running in any location north of London, from London Blackfriars via St Pancras, or from London King's Cross or London Moorgate.

But he also left a NATO meeting to meet Lebedev didn't he?! Was that looking after our National Security too?!

He wasn’t flying it! 🙄

Tenner says we never see him in Ukraine again.

What self obsessed KayBurley4 telling the PM what he can and cannot do whilst smirking away at her own commentary. Very typical of , she seems to be following her mate BethRigby

Sky news is just horrendous these days. Burley is poor and Rigby is basically a Labour Party propagandist. Sensationalist and biased

Exactly the opposite?

Can someone tell him Operation Save Big Dog over and he doesn't need to defend the buffoon anymore.

Not sure, but i don't think Boris was actually flying the typhoon, doubt he is qualified.

UK heatwave: Reduced speeds on South West railways amid buckling concernNetwork Rail urges customers to only travel if absolutely necessary on Monday and Tuesday. For everyone in the UK. When you hear that noise on a train. Badum badum, Badum Badum, That is an expansion gap in the rails to compensate for heat expansion. It is an issue already compensated for. This is bullshit. In other words anything for either to strike or have a day off ..load of rubbish 🤦‍♂️ No point in having a train strike with the trains being cancelled due to buckling tracks! Might be best to use the private jet to get around!! 👍👍☀️☀️
