'Keir put Labour back in position to change people's lives': Burnham pays tribute to former leader Andy Burnham says he will "build on the foundation laid by one person more than any other." "Under Keir Starmer's leadership, we went from our worst defeat to one of the best victories in our history", the new Labour leader says. "Keir put Labour back in a position to change people's lives, and that is what we have been doing these last two years." Burnham added: "Today we thank Keir for his service to our party and to our country."
11 Jul 2026 10:24 POSTPONE · 2.14 mi · 00:36:33 Score 1/17 · Weather: HIGH RISK · Alert: heat-amber · Sleep: 05:12:00 · Comfort: MILD Felt very humid/sticky, heal pain (mild) formed whilst walking. Slightly extended walk on the basis of cooler easterly wind but this warmed up rather quickly.
The main driver is blood flow. In heat, your blood vessels dilate to help you shed warmth, which pushes more blood towards the skin and extremities. Hair follicles and the nail matrix (the growth zone tucked under the base of the nail) are fed by that blood supply, so more circulation means more oxygen and nutrients delivered to the cells that are dividing. Faster cell division, marginally faster growth. A few supporting factors stack on top: Higher metabolism in warmth. Cellular processes generally tick along a bit quicker at higher temperatures, and keratin production is no exception. More sunlight. Longer, brighter days raise vitamin D levels, which plays a role in the hair growth cycle. Some researchers also link seasonal hormone shifts to hair being in its active growth phase more in summer. More activity. People tend to move about more in good weather, which nudges circulation up further.
Clacton by-election set for August The by-election in Nigel Farage's former seat of Clacton is now underway. The process in parliament of a writ being moved has now happened, kickstarting the process. With the Commons now confirming the election, the official process is underway. While it is up to the local authority to organise the specifics of the election, it must by law happen between 21 and 27 working days from now. This means the vote should fall between 7 August and 17 August. By convention votes take place on a Thursday, making 13 August most likely.
