INEXPLICABLE.!!!???
Piddington Invitation declined!

Piddington formally invited Prime Minister Andy Burnham to visit our village, meet the people and see for himself the consequences of what Government proposes for our community.

Invitation declined. Instead, No.10 passed us off to the Ministry of Defence!!!

**What??? **

Why not the Home Office!!

No 10. Does not know what it is doing!!

Prime Minister, You alone are responsible for this great nation, You alone have the power to make a difference. You are responsible to the country, to the towns and villages and to the people who pay for you!

— you cannot understand the impact on a small community from a briefing note in Whitehall. You understand it by turning up, looking people in the eye and listening.

And now, barely two weeks into the job, you’re away.

Perhaps looking at being reprogrammed. As you started the job all wrong !!!!

LESS WESTMINSTER.
MORE LISTENING.
COME TO PIDDINGTON.

The invitation remains open.

No 10. Response attached

We had a plan. The unions wrecked it by pushing an unworkable plan. Today’s news is a devastating outcome for the very people they are meant to represent.

I stand ready to do whatever I can to revive the Teesside deal, and help secure UK steelmaking.

When we finally broadcast 'Grooming Gangs: Britain's Shame', I was relieved.

It was a big project. And soon after the then-Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman announced a new taskforce to tackle the grooming gangs, our key policy demand in the documentary. It made hundreds of arrests in its first year.

But the battle wasn’t over yet.

I knew there were far more victims out there, whose tales needed to be told.

I knew there were far too many rapists released on our streets.

And I knew the far-left and the Islamists would come for me, of course. They have mostly just accused me of being a racist, the same accusation they deployed on everyone else who raised concerns.

But this attack line just doesn't work anymore. Anyone who wants to call me a racist in response to my reporting can pick a number, get in line, and kiss my arse. I don't care. I've done my homework. Your slander means nothing.

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

The No Farmers, No Food team are in London (Westminster at 11am) today for the farmers’ rally against inheritance tax on family farms. Come and join us!

[Alex Armstrong @Alexarmstrong]

Fantastic video from these young farmers explaining the basic economics and mathematics of the inheritance tax law that Rachel Reeves from customer service and is clearly incapable of.

Please share this to inform the left wing echo chamber where needed.

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

Please share this meme and hashtag widely.

[Paul Weston @PWestoff]

It was no mere coincidence that WEF apparatchik @Keir_Starmer and his Marxist Chancellor @RachelReevesMP just happened to host the world's largest farmland owner @BillGates and Blackrock CEO Larry Fink at Number 10 just days before the budget announcement. @JeremyClarkson

Starship will lengthen in the next few years.

10 years from now, there will probably be a much wider diameter Starship too.

It is important in this often difficult and troubled world for there to be things that also inspire and make you feel great to be part of humanity

NET ZERO: BREAKING - UK has had to activate its Blackout prevention plan.

At 12.30 today grid data shows gas power had been fired up to meet 53% of the country’s electricity needs …

with wind and solar providing just 10% each.

Stop laughing at the back 🤡🤣

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Achieving materially positive payload margin to a useful orbit with a fully & rapidly reusable rocket has eluded prior attempts. Many have tried to embark upon this path only to give up when it became clear that their design would have negative or negligible payload margin.

This is an extremely difficult problem to solve, given the strong gravity of Earth, whereas it is easy on Mars and trivial on the Moon. In the early years of SpaceX, I was not sure that success was even in the set of possible outcomes!

Fortunately, it just barely is, but requires doing unusual things like shifting the mass needed for final velocity attenuation and post-landing stabilization of the rocket (so it doesn’t tip over in wind) to the ground, rather than carrying heavy landing gear on both stages.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The strong gravity of Earth makes the physics of a fully reusable rocket with positive payload margin extremely difficult to solve, which is why it has never been done before.

Removing the mass of landing legs from the booster and ship by making the tower do the work of final velocity attenuation greatly improves payload margin.

This architecture also simultaneously substantially increases launch cadence, because the same arms that lift the booster and ship onto the launch stand also catch them, allowing immediate placement of the booster back on the launch stand and the ship back on top of the booster.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Just inspected the Starship booster, which the arms have now placed back in its launch mount. Looks great!

A few outer engine nozzles are warped from heating & some other minor issues, but these are easily addressed.

Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff. The booster returns within ~5 minutes, so the remaining time is reloading propellant and placing a ship on top of the booster.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The tower has caught the rocket!!
