UK Wildfires: Homes Burned, Disposable BBQ Ban Considered, and Calls to Halt Grouse Season

In response to the ongoing wildfire crisis, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced the government will consider banning disposable barbecues in public spaces, as they have been linked to numerous fires. Campaigners have criticized the move as insufficient, arguing it fails to address the broader connection to climate change. Meanwhile, MPs have urged action on fireworks in 'tinderbox' conditions, and experts are calling for a ban on the grouse shooting season, which begins August 12, to prevent further peatland damage and wildfires.
