The Liberal Democrats have urged Andy Burnham to convene a cross-party meeting to address the UK's response to extreme weather events, particularly in light of the upcoming 'super El NiƱo.' They emphasize the need for a unified approach to tackle the increasing frequency of heatwaves and related challenges such as food shortages and inflation.

Despite previous discussions on social care, the Lib Dems express concern over the government's lack of action regarding climate issues. They argue that all political leaders should collaborate to enhance the UK's resilience against climate impacts.
