Ministers claimed Palantir's NHS tech helped 100,000+ extra patients get operations. NHS England admits the figures don't show cause and effect. Ask your MP to read the evidence: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/mp...

Thames Water's creditors are meeting on Thursday 29th Oct to decide on yet another bailout at our expense Add your name to stop it and bring Thames Water into public hands: vist.ly/5p7r9

My online girlfriend was so shocked by the Ukraine drone strike on the Russian data centre that she's been too upset to message me all day.

The A6 near where I live is a bit wild.

Trump just had a massive meltdown over losing the Nobel Peace Prize to South African anti-apartheid jurist Navi Pillay. Trump attacked Pillay, admitted he knows nothing about her, claimed he deserves EIGHT Nobel Peace Prizes, took credit for preventing wars around the world,… 1/

My first attempt at photographing the Andromeda galaxy. #astrophotography #photography #dwarf3

Your regular reminder that public ownership is popular. People want energy bills they can afford, clean water, public transport that’s reliable, an NHS to be proud of, care that families & communities can rely on, a Royal Mail that actually delivers letters. Andy Burnham, are you listening?

Nice clouds over Garstang yesterday #photography

Indoctrination? Pot and kettle?

Moon waning gibbous about 80%. Taken again with Dwarf 3, this time using the Astro filter which allows some infrared light in. #photography #astrophotography #dwarf3

Men at their very worst 😢 BBC News - Iran court upholds lashes sentence for singer who performed without hijab

Moonrise over Bowland Forest. This is a Dwarf 3 moon in a Canon photo of the hills. It's the same size in the same place, just an improved image of the moon. Both images taken yesterday from my loft window. #photography

50 stacked images, taken last night with a Dwarf 3 smart telescope and edited with Dwarflab's Stellar Studio using auto settings. #astrophotography #photography

Canon RF 7-14 fisheye with 190° field of view allowed me to photograph the moon rising in the East while the sun was setting in the west. The two events coincide about once a month, but it's been too cloudy here for the past few months, despite the heatwave. #photography

While buying petrol today at £1.72 per litre, I recalled 1973 when petrol rose from about 33p per gallon to 40p. That's almost 9p a litre. relative to average earnings the cost is similar, except small and medium sized cars are much more efficient, 50 mpg instead of 30.

Your regular reminder that almost all of us reject NHS privatisation - no matter who we vote for

Two planned data centres will emit more carbon than the entire UK operations of ExxonMobil - and both plan to build their own gas power stations. Tell Andy Burnham to rule it out! www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

No adverts on Bluesky which is very nice, but lots of clickbait to paywalls ☹️

I bought my phone in 2021 (Google 6 pro) for the camera. Five years later the 11 pro is 25% more expensive, but the significant differences are it's use of AI. Excepting AI the camera is marginally better, but 25% better🤔

I took this photo last night with my Dwarf 3 smart telescope.

PM Carney called Canada's negotiators back home. His statement: "...last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal." MY statement: "Trumplestiltskin and his handlers are as trustworthy as a single square of one-ply."

We've had 3 camera club outings curtailed or cancelled because of rain in the last month. That feels like a typical English summer in Garstang 🤔

Not the best I've seen, but all my own work. #eclipse #photography
