Meh!

'Act of national self-harm' is a good description. UKRI has simply lost its mind - and the collapse of our most important science infrastructure won't be easy to reverse if it's allowed to happen. https://t.co/Nbkv9qLdaG

Government says they “have to cut” the £2.8m budget for this world class telescope. How much did they spend on the PR, branding, consulting, and moving to Number 10 North? Why are we cutting funding to things that make us world leaders in Astrophysics?

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

Complete scientific vandalism by the Government. Surely it cannot be allowed to happen. Long term impact? Name me another that has had more! https://t.co/dcF6zSbS9t

[Audrey Ludwig MBE @AudreySuffolk]

The Government’s failure to fund UKs scientific research infrastructure, especially the National laboratories, is a scandal. https://t.co/neLVf9zoVZ

I can see Jodrell Bank from my house. It's an utterly irreplaceable part of our country's astronomical and scientific understanding.

Its UNESCO World Heritage recognition reflects its history and ongoing work.

This is an appalling decision.

@KirstieMAllsopp @FairerShare @andyburnham @thefabians Certainly a nailed on way to turn all those Labour constituencies in London over to Reform!

[Dallas Campbell @dallascampbell]

Dreadful news. Short sighted political bollocks. Ironic given it’s a telescope. Such an important and iconic part of our national story. I hope this decision is changed. Please @andyburnham This is your patch.

[Prof Jim Wild @jim_wild]

Like many colleagues across our community, I’m dismayed by these cuts. The UK should be building on its scientific strengths, not retreating from them, especially as a new government and new science minister seek to define the country’s future ambitions.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

This is the result of many bad legacy decisions taken by UKRI hastily and without proper consultation, overseen by a government department that no longer exists. Surely the new @andyburnham government will want to take time to review this.

[Captain Dave @DaveWallsworth]

Absolutely agree! What an appalling decision which hopefully the new PM, @andyburnham will review. Remember PM, this is on your doorstep in the north!

@Sandbagger_01 You’re right, Gregg’s does indeed have all that technology for baking those pasties….. 😉

@secretsqrl123 All those Rosgvardia draft dodgers are totally gonna love that!!!

@steonthesea Seriously???? It’s clearly HMS Victory, and that photo was taken from a Canberra! 😇

[ℝ𝕚𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕣 @The_East_End]

Goodness - what have we lost? Sadly, it’s only through film clips like this that we remember how much we have changed. I’m aware it’s presented as a ‘rose tinted’ ideal, but the evidence of your own eyes shows just how far down we’ve gone…

@JakubZigacek @secretsqrl123 It shouldn’t be a huge surprise that the countries who invented radar are still able to make the best radar out there.

[Chris Walsh @chriswalsh28]

@zumfunkraum @JamesMelville I keep up to date with recent changes, road priority hierarchy, etc, enough to know that, whilst the first version may have been written a long time ago, today’s amended and updated code is a very different beast. It sounds like ought to do a little refresher reading.

[Chris Walsh @chriswalsh28]

@zumfunkraum @JamesMelville Worrying that you seem unaware that it is regularly updated. You might want to have a little read of it.

@ReassessHistory I didn’t know we had Heer here, but we do seem to have Walts Heer 🙄

@robsellers123 Just had a load of work done. Offer all the lads a brew at the start, put out a tray so they can help themselves through the day, make sure they have free access to water at all times, it’s just basic decency. TBH, most look after themselves for drinks, but it’s nice to be nice.

@clark_aviation Looks like it had a rather more spacious cockpit than the Bf109?
