Pakistan has its own space programme, yet we send it £133 million a year in aid while shutting down Britain's largest space telescope because we “can't afford” a few million. This telescope helped inspire generations of scientists. If we keep cutting investment in our own scientific infrastructure while other nations push ahead, we'll only fall further behind. I hope this decision is reversed. Britain should be investing in its future, not dismantling it.

This is genuinely sad to see. The Government can find the money to increase foreign aid from 0.2% to 0.7%, while we already send Pakistan £133 million a year. Yet we can't find a few million to keep Britain's largest space telescope open. It helped support the Apollo missions,

@jakeperry97 It’s like Panorama have forgotten to blur his face out to keep him anonymous in a witness statement

We just caught French authorities doing nothing to stop illegal immigrants - in fact they handed out life jackets and waved them a cheery goodbye. Shabana Mahmood’s deal is not working. The only thing stopping crossings is the weather #Immigration #UKPolitics #StopTheBoats

Killed her own child in order to have the time and energy to kill the Brits. There are people in our country who would applaud this. Admire her, even. They aren’t right in the head.

Friday: Muslim man stabs 2 in NYC while yelling "Allahu Akbar!" Saturday: Muslim man drives car through Gay Pride parade in Germany. Monday: Muslim man stabs 3 in Paris including a pregnant woman. Islam is doing a really bad job so far this week at being the religion of peace.

The benefits system is so poorly designed that a young person starting an apprenticeship can leave their household hundreds of pounds a week worse off. Burnham’s answer is not to remove that penalty. It is to create a new payment so families can afford to ignore it. That is not reform. It is a subsidy designed to cancel out the welfare system’s own disincentive to work.

This irritates me. For most of its history, the GAA has been deliberately exclusionary - forbidding its members the playing or watching of 'foreign' (i.e. English) sports and excluding any members of the British security or police forces. It was a direct offshoot of the republican movement and has never been particularly interested in or welcoming of interest from British people. While Britain gave its sports to the world, the Irish very deliberately kept theirs as parochial as possible. And that's fine. But don't then complain that we don't know or care much about them like that's our fault.

My frontal lobe fully developed, and I realized that spending five days a week working a 9 to 5 until I’m 60 just so I can finally “enjoy life” for a few years at the end is one of the worst deals we’ve ever been told to accept.

@SuzyJourno Alliance agreeing with Sinn fein nearly 73% of the time doesn't seem to be working for them

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

🚨 NEW: Teenagers claiming PIP for anxiety are receiving £100 more a week than those working the maximum hours in a minimum wage part-time job

Was booking tickets for Edinburgh Zoo this weekend. Noticed people on Universal Credit get a discounted rate. Adult ticket: £30. Adult ticket (UC): £8. A 73% difference. No shade to people on UC. But why are we being punished for having a job?

Cette vidéo vient d’Espagne. Elle permet de comprendre la vitesse de propagation d’un incendie. Les flammes sont éloignées, en moins de 8 minutes elles sont au niveau de la caméra. Flippant.

UK Civil Service salaries never cease to confuse me, you can either help manage the UK’s nuclear defence for £47k or you can make TikToks for Andy Burnham for £57k

🚨 NEW: The Green Party says it will twin Manchester with Ramallah, the capital city of Palestine, if it wins the Greater Manchester mayoral election

Catholic Church of the Assumption. Tullamore. Despite repeated requests from locals over a number of weeks, the Muslim residents living nearby have refused to stop hanging their prayer mats and rugs from the Church's railings. Zero social etiquette or act of social dominance?

Dear @GaryLineker, You don’t need to wait for Andy Burnham, you can make voluntary donations to HMRC right now. Good on ya lad. Peter Oh, here’s the link - gov.uk/guidance/volun…

@Malachians Because Chelsea gives the impression of being a football club, but it’s actually a private equity firm, where the main goal is to flip assets / “talents”.

A man won £1.7 MILLION playing blackjack online at 1am. The casino called the next morning to congratulate him. Then called back two days later to say there was a software glitch and they were keeping the money. They offered him £60,000 to stay quiet and sign a document promising never to talk about it. He said no. – Andrew Green was a 54 year old from a small village in Lincolnshire England. – Just after midnight on January 26 2018 he opened the Betfred app and started playing a blackjack game called Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven. – He played for five and a half hours straight. – When he finally stopped the screen showed £1,722,500.24 in winnings. – He called Betfred. They congratulated him. Told him to call back after 9:30am to arrange collection. – He went out that night and celebrated with his family. Spent £2,500 on dinner. He was already a millionaire in his head. – Monday morning he called back. They said the win was so large it needed to be sent to the game provider Playtech for verification. Standard procedure they said. – Wednesday Betfred called again. Playtech had found a software glitch. The win was void and he would not be paid. – Their offer was £60,000 but on one condition. He had to sign a non-disclosure agreement promising never to discuss what had happened. – He said no. – He sued and the case went to the High Court in London. – The judge ruled Betfred's terms and conditions were not transparent and not fair. They could not rely on them to withhold payment. – Three years after he won the money the court ordered Betfred to pay the full £1.7 MILLION plus interest. – Standing outside the High Court he said "The last three years have felt like hell on earth. I think Betfred have treated me abysmally." – Betfred apologised for the delay. – They never explained how many other players hit the same glitch and quietly accepted the £60,000. A man won £1.7 MILLION at 1am, spent £2,500 celebrating before the money arrived, then spent three years in court to collect what was already his.
