Workers who are employed in labour-intensive jobs should not have to work in temperatures above 27 degrees, a trade union has demanded.
Unite made the call to the UK Government as the country braces itself for what could be the warmest day on record.

A number of MPs recently backed a campaign for a legal upper limit of 30C in

Are you representing the books, or are you diluting the books to represent the time?’ And I actually think it’s your job to represent the books truthfully and honestly, as they were written.”Asked if Daemon has his fair share of sex scenes himself, Smith joked : “Yeah – slightly too much, if you ask me.”Based on George R.R.
