A fiery crisis is sweeping the UK as wildfires rage across Derbyshire, Greater Manchester, and Suffolk — some spreading like wildfire across 210 football pitches in just 24 hours. A Member of Parliament is sounding the alarm, demanding major retailers halt sales of disposable barbecues, the leading cause of these preventable blazes. With fires taking weeks to extinguish and ecosystems facing years of recovery, the MP’s campaign has already won traction — Co-op, Morrisons, Tesco, and others in his constituency have pledged to stop selling them. He’s now pushing for a nationwide ban on sales and a government-led prohibition on public use, urging retailers like Aldi, Lidl, and M&S — who’ve already dropped these items since 2022 — to join the movement before summer’s end.
