Abandoned SpaceX rocket to slam into moon at high speed - Sky News So having vandalised the earth the US now having a go at the moon. Horrific.

Exile from the Other Place and hopeful for civilised debate.
The protestors have "missed a trick". I don't know the details of the banning order. Surely all they do is call themselves for instance: Action on Palestine then when that gets banned Free Palestine then Free Judea etc. The law cannot ban geographic words like Palestine.
This is really curiosity not political point scoring but did the “gift” of £5m go into Farage a/c at Coutts? Was never mentioned during his attack and buy-off by RBS after a/c . Pretty sure if huge sum arrived in my bank a report of unusual payment would be made.
Very obliging of #r4today to lead with Reform’s ‘plan’ to stop the boats using the Royal Navy, pretending it’ll be some great WWII-style escapade, rather than a hateful, costly, diplomatically incontinent mess. A total waste of everyone’s time as they’ll never be in power and it’s unworkable anyway.
Reiterating my point that BBC News needs some serious editorial oversight when it comes to impartiality.
Steve Brooks@stevebrooks.bsky.social · 3d agoMore than a third of #wato now devoted to Farage's nonsense announcement. Get a grip.
Anyone else enraged that when the Orange Felon piously says he wants a deal with Iran to “save lives” no one asks him why he wasn’t so concerned when agreeing to support the lunatic Israeli plan in the first place?
Some really interesting explorations of family loyalties in #TheArchers at the moment. Horrobins/ Carters, Jolene and Kenton vs Fallon, Carter/Grundy/Gordon, and the Aldridge/Grundy situation still unresolved. Perhaps we’ll hear why Lizzard appoints outside her family at LoLo? Hybrid vigour?
Like his artistic hero, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse merged the traditional and the avant-garde. 'In Still Life with Geranium,' (1906) he transformed a still life into an Arcadian landscape characteristic of the Fauves of which he was recognised as the leader.
14 Nuclear Reactors in 6 countries in Europe are closed because they have run out of water for cooling. Nuclear Power is no solution, Solar and Wind ARE.
Surely time for another DJT Truth Social claim that he has passed another physical with scores never previously seen?
He says he "gets nothing" from this settlement. IRS is barred from auditing him and his family, worth $100 million. The convicted Jan 6 rioters were already pardoned, so why does he need a taxpayer bill to pay them, while the Capitol Police, five of whom died, get nothing?
How the Reflecting Pool Vandalism Case Fell Apart - The Atlantic It fell apart because it was entirely fictitious. Trump’s ability to terrorise others with law fare is clearly beginning to fall at the hurdle of the truth emerging!!
Could someone tell Harry Rednapp?
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe significant year on year fall on boat arrivals is broadly unreported by BBC or other media. It has less to do with imminent government changes currently going through than a fall in "push factors" that is Europe-wide
Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."
Wonder if they realise this copying Trump’s America is pointless in the UK because as a country we don’t pretend to be religious and believe in Christian virtues.

Quite agree and the failure of editors to recognise the tendency to indulge in “making the news”/“gotcha” interviewing is widely recognised as annoying or even a dereliction of duty.
Cerulean Man 🐝 🏳️🌈 🌹 🐶@ceruleanman.bsky.social · last wk.Watt is part of the dramaratti like Mason and Kuennsberg. Vic Derbyshire is not attention-seeking at all. She's a good egg. #Newsnight
Was very odd to read them verbatim as proper impartial reporting would have been Reform upset not to be invited to take part.

I'm up at 6.30am to write up an Andy Burnham interview the BBC did last week and have been teasing in segments, refusing to release under embargo. This it the first interview with a new PM. I don't object to it going to the BBC but treating it like some sort of celebrity exclusive feels a bit weird.
HP backs down in battle over Mike Lynch’s £500m estate - The Telegraph Does the Telegraph positively choose to have misleading headlines? HP has agreed with Court that Lynch family being happy with insolvency practitioner is acceptable.
Gatwick Airport has lost water supply. There are massive Data Centres within just 7 miles. They are going to put Billionaires useless AI above your thirst.
Pretty funny to see the party responsible for the state of British prisons 2010-24 joining in though. Ok, Chris Philp, let’s pretend Broadmoor is like a holiday camp? Which is why you shut it down? Which is why you changed the law that allowed people to be sectioned there? No? Chris? Are you there?
The Secret Barrister@barristersecret.bsky.social · 2w agoI regret to inform you that we have reached the “Broadmoor is a holiday camp” stage of right-wing discourse.
When was the last time a quango really proved its worth overseeing a sector/industry??

William’s vicious new row with Harry over Diana: ‘Don’t disrespect our mother!’ - Heat Surely the Sussexes could have visited Diana’s grave without photographer in attendance? Privacy a one way street when PR opportunity available.
Any agency or government bothered to ask the Gazans what they might want?
As hosepipe bans rollout across the UK know that Data Centres are using 6.6m litres a day, it quadrupled in the last 4 years. That's enough to run 1.8m hosepipes for 5 minutes.
Pete Hegseth is actively committing treason against the USA 🚨
CAKE@thebandcake.bsky.social · 2w agoWhat if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.
The nuclear deal announced between Saudi Arabia and US is alarming. So that bastion of liberal democracy gets uranium and freedom to enhance it to weapons grade. Has Israel expressed a view?
