As far as bollockings go this has got to be up there with the most severe #PartyGate

[Mirror Politics @MirrorPolitics]

"Over the last two years the British public have been asked to make the most heart-rending sacrifices."

"That will forever be tarnished by the actions of this Prime Minister."

Watch @Keir_Starmer's response to Sue Gray's #Partygate report in full.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Honesty and decency matter.

After months of denials the Prime Minister is now under criminal investigations for breaking his own lockdown laws.

He needs to do the decent thing and resign.

Spring, that you?!

Bit nippy at 20m at Stoney Cove this morning. Computer showed 6 degrees! Looking forward to diving without a drysuit, and actually seeing wildlife in Egypt in a few weeks 🦈 🐬 #scubadiving #diving

Genuinely blown away by @BBCEarth's Green Planet. A masterpiece of cinematography. 👏 #GreenPlanet

@Erdayastronaut Maybe another one could be for the chances of successful ESA/Roscosmos launch of the Rosalind Franklin Mars Rover?

"To go places and do things that have never been done before – that’s what living is all about."
— Michael Collins

Today we honor the life & legacy of an astronaut who paved the way for the future of space exploration. From the astronaut corps, Ad Astra to one of our very best.

[Rob McLaverty @RobMcLav]

Saddened to hear of the passing of @AstroMCollins. Anyone with a passing interest in space would do well to read his book "Carrying the Fire". Widely regarded as the best of the memoirs of the Apollo astronauts, it paints a vivid picture of 1960s NASA. #Apollo11 #NASA #ESA

[Michael Collins @AstroMCollins]

Thank you so much for your love and support for Michael Collins. Please take a moment to read his obituary and remember his legacy.

[Rob McLaverty @RobMcLav]

60 years ago Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth for the first time in Vostok 1. 40 years later space agencies around the world would cooperate to build a foothold in space that has been permanently occupied for 20 years. Our greatest achievement? #ISS #NASA #ESA #roscosmos #JAXA #CSA

Spoke too soon, it exploded #partialsuccess

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

I told you it would never fly again.....

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

Aaaaaaand success!!!!

[Rob McLaverty @RobMcLav]

Not a scene from a sci-fi movie, but a still from today's Starship test flight, and they stuck the landing! #Starship #SpaceX

Searching for Kerbals... Amazed at how good this came out considering it was just my phone camera held up against the eyepiece! Thanks @graacemj holding the phone steady! 🔭🌝 @ Abingdon Oxford UK https://t.co/JL3Pvi66p8

[Rob McLaverty @RobMcLav]

Definitely the coolest thing you will watch this week
