Today, as two of our NASA astronauts conduct the 220th spacewalk in support of the station, we received news of the death of our colleague Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov. We recognize and celebrate Alexei’s accomplishments as the first human to walk in space on March 18, 1965.

@Helen4LibDems "It's about being a 'British Empire again'. How does he think it will happen? Just magic itself into existence one minute after 31st October? And how does he think the original Empire came into being?

Went to cinema yest for 8:45pm showing, but it was 9:17 before the film actually started.

CINEMAS we pay to see films! Fine show 5/10min of ads & trailers, but this inflation to 33mins isn't on. Either cut pre-screening times, or tell us actual start times too.

RT if u agree.

Priti Patel has opened by saying Tories have once again established themselves of law and order. Just hours after an MP was sent home for violent conduct. You couldn’t make this stuff up

@Mativenko80 Wasn't this the very subject of the episode from "Yes Minister" which ended with Jim Hacker becoming Prime Minister? Your don't suppose he watched this and thought it a fly on the wall documentary?

@NickBoles @jockmufc Cummings is the £1.98 version of Bannon. "Get on with Brexit - the death threats cease". Nice little "protection racket" line there.

[David Griffiths @redarrow61]

@JamesArcher767 Nice little line, of the kind used by many a protection racket!

@BBCr4today interviewing banker who obviously thinks its fine to duck out of any/all tax if possible. Shameful & smug. #ToryBritain 2015.

I am at a loss as to why someone who gave George Osborne an image makeover is worth a 42% pay rise. Isn't as if it's worked! ;-)

[David Griffiths @redarrow61]

@BBCNews "A great time in the office" :-). Only a British astronaut would describe it as that - great British understatement. ;-)
