I’m reluctantly going to watch @ITV’s debate at 9pm. But make no mistake that, in limiting it to just Sunak v Starmer, ITV is actively conspiring with the two biggest parties to maintain their dominance. And they’re doing that against the wishes of the British people. #ITVDebate

The artificial time constraints are already annoying. These debates should last 90 minutes to 2 hours and let people finish a sentence. #ITVdebate

On George Best’s birthday, a timely reminder of this goal for San Jose Earthquakes in 1981.

The glory days of his peak were in the past… but the candle of greatness still flickered.

It's #NationalNumeracyDay! To mark the occasion, I have a challenge for you all, prepared by @Cambridge_Uni's @MMPmaths. The answers will be revealed at 4pm UK time today.

Enjoy, have fun, but no spoilers!

Time crystals are a novel phase of matter that exhibit a unique property: their structure repeats in time, rather than in space. First theorized by Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek in 2012, time crystals defy the traditional laws of thermodynamics by maintaining a non-equilibrium state, where they undergo periodic motion without consuming energy. This temporal periodicity means that the system's state changes in a regular, cyclical fashion over time, similar to the ticking of a clock at a quantum level. Unlike conventional crystals, which have a repeating pattern in three-dimensional space, time crystals oscillate in a predictable pattern, challenging our understanding of equilibrium and stability in physical systems. This discovery opens up new possibilities in quantum computing and the study of non-equilibrium phases of matter.

JUST IN: Boeing offers condolences after a passenger was killed on a Boeing 777 plane, says their “thoughts” are with the passengers and crew.

In total 30 people were injured and a 73-year-old British man was killed.

The incident happened after the plane fell a whopping 6000 feet.

“Suddenly the aircraft starts tilting up and there was shaking so I started bracing for what was happening, and very suddenly there was a very dramatic drop so everyone seated and not wearing seatbelt was launched immediately into the ceiling,” a passenger said.

“Some people hit their heads on the baggage cabins overhead and dented it, they hit the places where lights and masks are and broke straight through it.”

Jason Beer, "You say there are lots of Post Masters for whom Horizon is working, we should concentrate on them, they're our priority. Not the people for whom it is not working" #PostOfficeInquiry

Paula Vennells, "We were concentrating on those who raised issues"

Jason Beer, "That's not your priority according to this"

Paula Vennells, "Then this is" - laughs - "Then this is badly worded"

Jason Beer, "Why is it badly worded?"

Paula Vennells, "I'm juggling.. Two priorities and I'm only talking about one here"

Jason Beer, "You don't say that here, that would have been a more acceptable way to say things"

Paula Vennells, "It would have been a more acceptable way to say things"

Jason Beer, "No doubt you wish you had, but you didn't"

Paula Vennells, "No I didn't"

Jason Beer, "You said our priorities is to protect the people who aren't complaining"

Paula Vennells, "That wasn't how I intended it to be read"

Watching the Post Office Inquiry I cannot get out of my head the fact that Paula Vennells is an Anglican priest. She knows little, much under-the-bus throwing and now tears: my friend was one of the accused, was gaoled and changed beyond recognition because he was innocent.

Now onto the Non-Disclosure Agreement with the family of Mr Griffiths.

Mr Beer: You used money as a tool to keep the matter hushed up.

Van Den Bogerd: “It was never to keep the matter hushed up.”

After Ramanujan's death, a 'lost notebook' was discovered, which contained a wealth of unpublished results. This notebook, lost and forgotten for about 50 years, was found in the Wren Library at Trinity College, Cambridge, and it has been a subject of deep study ever since.

Doctors at a hospital in Texas informed George Pickering that his son was in a state of brain death.

They explained that his son showed "no brain activity" and the decision had been made to remove life support. Pickering, however, was unconvinced by their assessment and resorted to extreme measures by drawing a firearm.

He demanded that the doctors continue their efforts to save his son's life, threatening to use the gun if they refused.

This situation escalated into a tense standoff lasting three hours, during which Pickering faced off against the police while the medical team performed additional tests on his son.

The hospital was secured under lockdown as police negotiators tried to reason with Pickering, who remained adamant.

In a pivotal moment, Pickering's son, previously declared braindead, responded to his father's request to squeeze his hand, indicating cognitive presence. Following this revelation, Pickering peacefully surrendered to the authorities.

George Pickering II subsequently served a prison sentence of 11 months. Remarkably, his son experienced a complete recovery.

Adele Robinson, "You were wrongfully convicted.. You had to do community service and people were spitting on you.. When you think of your experience and you hear what former Post Office executive Angela van den Bogerd said, is there a sense of anger?" #PostOfficeScandal

Former sub postmaster Wendy Buffey, "Huge.. I had to leave the room twice yesterday.. It was pretty obvious she had been coached.. Using the same line.. I can't recall.. That wasn't me.. That wasn't my job"

"It gets a bit repetitive and unbelievable after a while. I think she thinks she's doing really well and not making herself look awful, but she is"

Remember that all the rightfully deserved compensation is being paid by YOU.

Fujitsu who caused the errors, they‘re not paying a penny, in fact they sued US for £700m for refusing to give them more contracts because of this.

RT if Fujitsu should be made to pay.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

When is Education Secretary Gillian Keegan going to come out and say her husband Michael Keegan needs to be told "good f***ing job" for his work as Fujitsu CEO?

Or is she hoping to keep that hidden under the carpet?
