@Jim_Cornelius @michaelshermer Same with aliens. The evidence so far does not support it but maybe they have visited us. I'm sure the uncontacted tribes in the Amazon are positive no outsiders are watching them. They also have no evidence for it.

@Jim_Cornelius @michaelshermer The two are different. I have no evidence that there is a planet out there with blue trees, but I'd be wrong in saying there is no planet with blue trees. The correct answer is I don't know.

Aliens have not and are not coming to Earth. Not ever. Not now. I've been hearing talk like this since the 1970s. It never ends. Just talk. No aliens. But, please, by all means, produce the aliens & I will believe. But my money is on the bet that it will never happen.

This was JD Vance 6 months ago saying he has access to UFO files but hasn’t even looked at them. Fast forward to today… he still hasn’t, after saying he’s obsessed with the UFO topic. What are we doing?

@nudeyprodgames @Heccles94 They are 4th but only just. Labour, Tories and Greens all within margin of error of each other. No doubt Greens will get a boost after the local elections.

@patrick_hurley @UKLabour Labour just lost a seat a few weeks ago with a far bigger majority than you have in your seat. I have no idea if the Lib Dems are exaggerating their chances but Labour are going to lose a lot of seats in a few weeks and plenty of safe seats as well.

This is being distributed today. It’s utterly false. @UKLabour runs the council, all 3 councilors were elected as Labour, we run the City Region mayoralty, the police commissioner, we run the government; I’m literally the town’s MP. And yet the Lib Dems say we can’t win. 🤦

Good morning, world! 🌎 We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

Lib Dems join the cross-party war on prices, big time Ed Davey calls for: - Cutting fuel duty by 10p, bringing down prices at the pump by 12p per litre - Slashing bus fares to £1, from the current £3 cap - Cutting rail fares by 10% - Cutting VAT on public EV charging

New from @Ipsos_in_the_UK When offered a binary choice the public prefer a Starmer led Labour government to Farage led Reform one by 40-32. Of course getting the public to vote in that way is a different question

When on leave, I often crave being back on-air for big stories. Tonight, however, I'm frankly DELIGHTED to leave the moon-rocket-phallic-fest-lift-off-ego-boost-thingy to @benleo444 and @tomhfh for @GBNEWS I simply would not be able fake my enthusiasm for such pointless endeavours whilst our own planet is so desperately in need of attention. They will do a great job of keeping you informed! Good luck fellas! 🚀 🧑‍🚀

Properly scaled diagram of the journey of Artemis II. Inertial frame of reference. No, the mission won’t land, but it will be going a tremendous distance from Earth. The green circle is the ISS orbit… Made it for this article: planetocracy.org/p/artemis-ii-i…

Donald Trump's net approval rating has collapsed to a historic negative 17 points. He is the most unpopular president in US history.
