This is indeed a superb letter from The Astronomer Royal of Scotland. “Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why.” I agree - my colleagues in particle physics have also tried, without success, to discover who owns the decision to damage physics research in the UK, perhaps irreparably, at a time when our economy desperately needs the skills and knowledge we develop and teach. @UKRI_News need to get a grip urgently and fix the problem someone, somewhere, has created.
It seems Donald Trump still wants to get his hands on our NHS, just like last time.
Please follow and repost to join the fight against him.
The NHS should always be about people, not profit.
The Olympic Spirit ❤️
- Hayden Wilde lead the whole Men's Triathlon
- Battled in 90% humidity and 32°C heat
- Had an 18 second lead with 2.5k to go
- Lost to Alex Yee on the last corner
Still hugged his former roommate on the finish line 🥰

Shot of the Games so far for me. Hayden Wilde has literally seen the gold medal slip through his fingers just seconds earlier, and the first thing he does after crossing the line is to drop to the floor and congratulate Alex Yee who has just taken it. Amazing 👏
8 years ago Alex Yee won the English Schools CC. senior boys' race in Nottingham, today he won the Olympic triathlon gold medal in Paris @SchoolAthletics@AthleticsWeekly@Lixsanyee 📸MarkShearman
If pensioners who get 12k per year are considered too well off to receive the winter fuel allowance, shouldn't MP's on 96k per year be considered too rich to receive housing, heating, travel, and meal subsidies?
Britain has fallen out of the top 10 Manufacturing Nations list for the first time since the Industrial Revolution
Today we are twelfth
The last 14 years has done more damage than any of us could have imagined
Just let that sink in
The 'don't have three kids if you can't afford them' argument assumes that no parent ever dies or gets too ill to work or gets made redundant and no dad ever walks out on mum. It's as specious as it is morally repugnant.
Judge Christopher Hehir sentenced Just Stop Oil to 21 years for planning a peaceful protest.
He banned the defendants from defending themselves.
Judges are supposed to be impartial and follow the law, not create it.
His ruling must be thrown out and his position considered.
No one charged 4 the Post Office, Grenfell, infected blood scandals.
Despite the Criminal Finances Act 2027 no corporation charged with tax evasion.
Just Stop Oil founder jailed for 5 yrs for discussing non-violent protest.
It is class war, not justice.

Dear @Channel4News
The Y2K bug did not “turn out to be a phantom issue”.
Hundreds of thousands of us worked our bloody socks off to make sure the world went on working. The fact that nothing went badly wrong took a decade of planning and effort.
Sloppy bloody reporting
