The NASA workers have identical expressions to a Year 9 class who've just been told their planned visit to Alton Towers has been cancelled and the day will be spent revising algebra.

Trump is speaking to complete silence at the NASA center. Not a single person is applauding or reacting to anything he says during his brazenly partisan speech.

This was Reese, exactly one year ago, at 15 years old. She was already mostly blind and deaf, but she didn't let that slow her down. Run free, sweet girl! 2010 - 2026 ##dogsofbluesky #rainbowbridge #australianshepherd

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If you read all of this article right to the end, you’ll notice that Burnham has said that if he wins he will not try to return the U.K. to the EU. I’m obviously not voting in this by-election, but even with the high stakes - I couldn’t vote for AB now.

Q: Should President Trump have been more committal when it comes to Taiwan? MIKE JOHNSON: I've been really busy the last couple days, so I haven't seen the exact readout on how that discussion went

Caroline Lucas, former leader of the Green Party of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 "There is a particular kind of audacity required to spend decades dismantling something, then point to the rubble and declare it someone else’s fault. Nigel Farage has that audacity in spades. He has built an entire political career on it."

It still seems unreal to me that humans will soon be flying back to the moon! They will be returning to Earth at a speed of 40.000 km/h, the fastest ever reentry of a crewed spacecraft. This remastered video shows a similar reentry from the #Artemis 1 mission back in 2022 at 9x speed. 🔭🧪

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Bravo, Taoiseach Martin. The Iran War has neatly demonstrated who are our friends. Ireland is a true friend.

This is an in-depth explanation of why Chinese EVs are cheaper than 'Western' equivalents. One thing in particular stands out 'Subsidies matter, but less than often assumed. For BYD, we estimate subsidies account for roughly 5% of the $4,700 cost gap relative to Tesla.' rhg.com/research/why...

rhg.comWhy Are Chinese EVs So Cheap?Chinese carmakers have lower cost structures, driven by tighter control over their supply chains and a stronger focus on the China market. This puts Western OEMs in a tough spot.

Replying to @insideevs.com

It only costs less because the Chinese gov heavily subsidies the cost. A Tesla would cost less if the federal gov paid half the salaries of Tesla employees. What is the cost to the Chinese tax payers?

"On this issue, it seems like Starmer might be exactly where the public is... Most of us didn’t want to be fully involved in this war. Few of us want to see British bases left exposed to danger. Starmer might, for once, be the man in politics who is most in touch with the public mood."

thenewworld.co.ukWhisper it, but Starmer might be getting it right on IranIn a highly personal column, our writer argues that, though Starmer’s policy may look indecisive, he might be more in tune with the public mood than critics suggest

It's over 30 years ago that a regular feature of the Today programme was Tory chairman Ken Baker explaining why the Tories had lost yet another by-election. They won every single one back in the 1992 General Election.

BREAKING: “This bluntly is going to be a story that will really scare Labour MPs because what you’re seeing is a massive drop in the Labour vote .. Labour voters have quite clearly gone to the greens in this by-election”

TRUMP: This gentleman has a great company. We was in big trouble and then I put on the tariffs. It's amazing anyone could complain about them BIZ OWNER: It's been a game changer. We were competing with China. They were producing racks at $90 a piece. Our costs alone are $150. You leveled it
