Pakistan has its own space programme, yet we send it £133 million a year in aid while shutting down Britain's largest space telescope because we “can't afford” a few million.
This telescope helped inspire generations of scientists.
If we keep cutting investment in our own scientific infrastructure while other nations push ahead, we'll only fall further behind.
I hope this decision is reversed. Britain should be investing in its future, not dismantling it.
@andyburnham We will believe you once you’ve stopped the boats, slashed the benefits bill, slashed overseas aid and start deporting. We’re just used to people telling us it can’t be done.
A common sight across Britain. Overfilled public rubbish bins with litter strewn across pavements, roads and car parks. We are paying increased amounts of council tax and not even getting the basics back in return.
@andyburnham All of which will make zero difference to the vast majority of British people.
Here five things you should do in your second week in office:
1️⃣ Stop the boats
2️⃣ Stop issuing new visas
3️⃣ End foreign aid
4️⃣ End net zero
5️⃣ Deport millions of people
How about it Andy?

@seashorty Loads round by me and my neighbours are from Pakistan and drop them in the garden, on the path and on their way to their car and back again. Loads on the street. A new phenomenon.
I don’t think most people care about a £2 cap on buses.
I don’t think most people care about 5% vat abolished on electricity bills.
I think what most people really care about is stopping illegal migrants entering our country illegally & getting everything for free.
That’s what most people care about @andyburnham
Am I right?
@JamesMelville Same where I live -long grass helps the councils hide the rubbish.Drives me mad seeing all the decline. Dust and decaying leaves everywhere which supports their argument for poor air quality when it blows around; it all used to be swept away and tidied up!
The mainstream media and political class have conspired to virtually end all discussion about the assasination of Ann Widdecombe.
Today we finally learn in court that my friend was killed after 21 hammer blows to the head.
This has been a very sophisticated cover up…
