@NeferuSebastian @Dwriteway It was a false narrative as Joseph Swan invented the incandescent light bulb, Edison went into partnership with Swan who doesn’t receive the credit for the work.

@ayampolskiy The words you use regarding Edison “finding the right one” are quite appropriate, as the filament he “found” belonged to and was invented by Joseph Swan. Joseph Swan predated Edison and lit the first street in the world with electric lights. Edison went into partnership with Swan

@RupertLowe10 It’s beyond parliament, it needs a referendum.

#laurak weak questioning on digital id, 2m signatures in 2 days and you don’t press the PM on the issue. Learn to read the room.

A major milestone was achieved over the weekend with the ongoing repairs to get 40 135 back in good health. The power unit has been removed ready for the next stage of having the crankshaft swapped. Thanks to the CFPS volunteers and the ELR for all the hard work.

@AngelaRayner @UKLabour @sthelenscouncil according to SHMBC fields at Maypole, Bold are in the “Ugly Greenbelt” originally part of the Bolde Family estate & dating back (along with the Norman Conquests) to Roman Times. They have provided crops and food for near to 2000 years!

@afneil Are you doing this season’s “Dead Ringers”, endless loser material to get through.

[Deltic Engineer @SuttonOak8g]
