@ReemAmirIbrahim You do realise its the productive tax payers that are leaving, and the unproductive benefit claimants that are coming in? Those sorts of charts assume both categories are equal in their contribution to the country.

Britain must either allow mass immigration or abolish the state pension. Immigration is plummeting into the net negatives. 25% of working-age Brits don't work. Fertility has collapsed, and the state pension is soaring. So, which do you pick?

@_HenryBolton And we've broken that agreement by not supporting them.

Let me put this very simply. The UK does not have a system to defend its cities from ballistic missile attack. We rely on the United States under a NATO framework. That is the reality.

@SBarrettBar Thats the only benefit of him wanting to rejoin in all but name

Oh, just in case anyone missed it, that EU that Labour want to give power to Has gone Far Right. 😐

@WindsorDebs Agree its almost like they fired up a bot farm....I've seen a few of those and almost responded, but don't want to give them the engagement for the algo to boost

What’s with all the fuckwits on my timeline saying Starmer is great?? Fuck off you giant twatspangles. He wouldn’t know honesty if it smacked him in the face. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@hubermanlab @0xQuasark Fingers crossed...Sadly I expect the UK will be at least 5 years behind the progress the US makes

@0xQuasark Renaming of “psychedelics”…

To anyone in psychedelic research: What big developments can we expect in 2026?

@newstart_2024 @kieralwellness I'm surprised the inventor is still alive

Tumors literally liquefied by sound waves — no scalpel, no chemo, no radiation. This is histotripsy: focused ultrasound waves that rapidly expand and collapse gases inside cancer cells, destroying them mechanically in minutes while leaving healthy tissue untouched. In the demo at one of the leading hospitals doing this procedure, doctors showed before-and-after liver tumor images — a large lesion basically gone four months later, with the liver healing naturally. It’s FDA-approved for liver tumors in the US (since 2023, now available in 18 states) and has early/limited access in the UK, UAE, and Hong Kong, with trials underway for kidney, pancreatic, prostate, and more organs. The procedure takes 1–3 hours; most patients go home the same day. Side effects are usually mild flu-like symptoms the next day as the body clears the debris. This isn’t sci-fi — it’s happening now and expanding globally as more units are built. What do you think — could non-invasive sound-wave tumor destruction become a game-changer, or is it still too early to get excited? Your thoughts 👇

@matt_harte @peterrhague I thought we'd already been there - should be easy now with our more advanced tech / compute right?

@peterrhague It's a publicity exercise at this point, and risking four lives in some unproven technology is insane.

For years people have asked “When will humans return to the Moon” with people guessing some year in the future. I’m not fully used to the answer being “Next Wednesday”

@peterrhague @georgecursor the hard bit is landing on it and not dying ... seems like we're not able to do that anymore.

@georgecursor Yes, and?

@TimurNegru in a couple of years Tim, I might be hitting you up for something small and escape like like that.

A client asked me to find them somewhere to disappear for a while. No meetings, no Slack, no city noise. So I found them this stone farmhouse built in 1890 in Corniglia, Cinque Terre. 76m² (818 sq ft), 2 bedrooms, a private terrace, a cellar and 0.41 acres (1,671m²) of terraced land with views down to the Ligurian Sea. Connected to the Sentiero Azzurro, the Blue Trail that runs the entire length of the Cinque Terre coast. Needs some updating but the location is unrepeatable. Asking price: €285k ($328k) + roughly 10-12% on top for purchase taxes and fees (standard for Italy). Imagine waking up to this every morning.

I voted remain at the time, and agree with some of the travel benefits - but this should not be forced through. The public voted to leave. Which in hindsight was the right choice. The only reason I'd want to rejoin is that the EU is finally having some sensible votes on migration and privacy which we won't see until a change of government in 2029 ... but overall I'd still rather be out of that bureaucratic nightmare.

Can't happen fast enough for me. I want my EU citizenship back!!

@CryptoStorm3 @CuriosityonX agree with this line of thinking...but it begs the question of what sits above that...what is it all contained within?

The previous Universe collapsed onto itself, in which all black holes combined to form a "Black Universe" leading to the Big Bang, and the expansion phase started again At some point, the current Universe would have reached a limit of expansion, and will start collapsing again, eventually reaching another singularity a.k.a. Big Bang event, and the process continues like a half-Sine Curve This is a fascinating cosmological model — sometimes called the Cyclic Universe or Big Bounce theory

If Big Bang start the Universe, what existed before the big bang?

@SteveBakerFRSA this is the same everywhere. too many people taking money from the "social care" system for whatever reason.... maybe a better alternative to work, maybe genuine idk.... but it's bankrupting local councils.

😳Council spending.

@DamianLow3 😂nice engagement rage baiting

Worth noting that despite the level of hatred he receives from many media and commentators, Starmer's handling of Iran over the last month has been very good.

@RosieKayK2CO I was a kid growing up with Denise Van Outen - good times

This made me laugh. And then feel really sad. We had more fun before- we laughed and hugged like normal people!

@scmallaby @sama @demishassabis already pre-ordered:

What motivates the creators of AI? @sama wants power. Zuck wants commercial success. @demishassabis is motivated by a scientific curiosity so intense as to be spiritual. Read my biography of Demis, out March 31. THE INFINITY MACHINE. a.co/d/0aHD3OfQ

We need your help to #SaveDenby! We are sad to share that we may be forced to close and a British institution could be lost. We need your help: 1. Share this post 2. Sign the government petition 3. Buy Denby 4. Visit us at the Pottery Village Read more: denbypottery.com/pages/save-den…

I’ve had had a few comments recently about my Posted Potatoes from people saying they can buy bags of potatoes cheaper from farms local to them. If you can, go and buy that bag, support your local farmer! I’m just trying to offer potatoes for people who don’t live near a farm that sells them, but still want to support British Agriculture by buying direct from a farmer like me. It’s expensive to post a 15kg parcel, and unfortunately I’m not Amazon Prime, but I’ve tried to keep the cost affordable for the consumer, but fair to the farmer and to reflect the cost of producing high quality spuds. Farmer Luke’s potatoes is the first time in my farming career that I have been able to set the price for my own product and I truly appreciate every single potato that you guys have brought from me 🥔🚜 If you don’t have a local farm you can buy from, you can order direct from me here: farmerluke.co.uk 🥔📮 #FarmerLuke #DownOnDaintreeFarm #Mrsfarmerluke #spudwife

@Ilovenostalgia they're late boomers...but yeah from a gen x'r still slightly under 50 I agree... and hopefully soon, I'll find out what I want to do with my life

Where did the time go?

@grumpynskeptic @Ye_Olde_Holborn they are tax payers, but they're also paid out of a pot that is funded by taxpayers...kinda like this

@Ye_Olde_Holborn The constant argument about them not being taxpayers is wearing.

@yosoymario91 scraper tractor broken?

Love it when white women post shit like this, when in real life this is what 90% of farming looks like
