Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

@CaitButBetter I think you know what your legal people will say, unfortunately. You can always walk up to the guy and whisper “I know what you did”. That goes for most senior Labour figures, though.

@CaitButBetter If it’s true, it’s not libel! And wifebeating is a vile crime.

We are aware of a scam in the region targeting licensed premises.

Callers are claiming to be licensing officials and demanding payments over the phone for overdue licence annual fees.

A good example of the manifold skills- design, engineering, craft - that complement the performing and writing skills that make for great theatre. The set is SO important to the realisation of the production

This week, we’ve been taking part in #TheBigGive aiming to raise £10,000 to support our Dementia and Creativity programme of work, designed to break down the stigma surrounding a dementia diagnosis. Our regular groups introduce participants to arts-based activities, helping to support and foster a more positive outlook for the future in both the personal and social lives of each participant.

We’ve had a brilliant response so far and are now over half way to reaching our target! The campaign runs until 12pm on Tuesday 25 March and every donation made online during The Big Give will be DOUBLED, meaning every £1 we receive will have twice the impact for our groups! Help us reach our target and support our ongoing programme of Dementia and Creativity work here https://t.co/4O8DtSAHOG
