Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of supportjamaica.gov.jm, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa. The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts. Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website. Visit: supportjamaica.gov.jm 🇯🇲

36.6°C - the max temp for 8th Feb 2025 at Perth Metro - near to the Optus Stadium where Milan v Como is proposed to take place on the same date in 2026 Figures for 2015-25 show temps on that date in 2026 could be even hotter. Source👉 bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/cdio/weat… #KeepFootballHome

"Ultimately, though, there has to be some recognition that this constant, commercially driven demand for more ... and to hell with the demands on the players and the carbon footprint — is a madness. Seriously, where does all of this end?" @OliverKay for the @TheAthleticFC 👇

La Liga’s bid to take a Barça game to Miami thwarted for now, but they’ll keep trying. Serie A still want Milan-Como to be moved to Perth. Taking league games abroad is an appalling idea. Aggressive expansionism that would cause huge, irreparable damage nytimes.com/athletic/6741016…

Cancelling AC Milan v Como in Perth would avoid teams flying ~27,000 km round-trip to Oz to play where temps could be 30°C , 20°C more than in Italy. Bad for players & planet
Next stop: cancel AC Milan - Como in Perth @SerieA
