I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understands
Astronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.

Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans@astroroyalscot.bsky.social · 3w ago“What will the Lovell Telescope discover/enable 20 yrs from now? I can’t tell you, and that’s the point. It will either be something extraordinary that none of us can yet predict, or we will defund it and leave Cheshire with a rusting monument to unfulfilled potential and discoveries never made.” 🔭🧪
Great news. Let's see a lot more prosecutions and accountability followed by renationalisation. This farce has to end. @andyburnham.bsky.social
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · 2w agoEx-Southern Water boss among four charged over alleged plan to manipulate water tests and avoid paying penalties. Southern Water separately been charged with dozens of offences. No water company is pristine. All have violated their licence conditions. They all need to be scrutinized.
Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
I'm sorry #channel4news but inviting Gove on to dismiss the rampant thievery of the conservative COVID PPE VIP lane as "honest mistakes" is a total piss take. Now he's claiming the report is wrong. Fuck off. #covid19 #pandemic
Oh no, the day is ending and I forgot to watch the Katie Price documentary AGAIN. Damn.
Never in doubt England (*cough*). Tough shit to you haters. #worldcup
Some really dumb takes from (mainly USA) people who don't understand football during this game. Good timeline cleanse opportunity.
Good to see Belgium playing their first team for this game. As a City fan, I have love for both sides. #worldcup
It's hilarious that Farage fanatics are earnestly attacking and trying to discredit COUNT BINFACE!
James Ball@jamesrball.com · 4w agoI'm not sure "he's not even a real bin" is the winning electoral argument some of Count Binface's opponents imagine. I think the voters of Clacton had pretty much already realised that on their own.
Hilarious and entirely predictable to see Trump as self-appointed football expert, over-ruler of professional referees and King of FIFA. Shame as it was all going so well until he had to make it all about him, as usual.
Not sure it's even worth Belgium turning up and trying to beat the USA. We all saw what happened on Jan 6th.
Having carefully counted up the number of shits I give about: A. Prince Harry being in the UK, and; B. Where Prince Harry might stay, I can report that the number is zero shits. #bbcnews
