Something like 25% of all satellites are made in the UK.
It's one of our greatest successes

"A British rocket named Black Arrow did succeed in placing a single British satellite, Prospero, into orbit from a launch site in Australia in 1971. Prospero remains the only British satellite to be put into orbit using a British vehicle."

AH! the good ole days when we were up with the best !!

It's VIRGIN and the so called blast off is underneath a VIRGIN Jumbo so probably out of sight.
All bigged up by the right wing press as a BREXIT BONUS....no doubt!

“Would you do a job as a care worker for £18,000 a year?”

Yes, he's right.
The job he's doing as prime minister is driving this country into poverty, division and isolation.

Dear me........ and I thought UK politics was embarrassing !!

At their own choosing this same group of right wing nutters could bring the house to a halt.
Potentially freezing American decisions at home and abroad.
Worrying for NATO, the EU and especially Ukraine.
and even for our failed state !

From 6 January 2021 riots on Capitol Hill to 7 January chaos inside the House today: Trumpism is a recipe for disaster, destroying everything and everyone who embraces it

United States House Representative Kevin McCarthy may have secured enough votes to become House speaker, US media reported on Friday. After 13 ballots with no candidate reaching the required majority, the Republican may have persuaded enough lawmakers to change their vote.
Unnamed insiders told Politico that McCarthy is expecting Representatives Wesley Hunt and Ken Buck to vote for him and Eli Crane and Matt Rosendale to vote "present," meaning to abstain, instead of voting against him. McCarthy has made a number of concessions to the Republicans who opposed him, including holding votes on a number of conservative bills, putting members of the Freedom Caucus on key committees, as well as tying debt ceiling increases with spending cuts. He also agreed that any House member could table a no-confidence vote in the speaker.

Worst still they could stop Biden supplying military aid to Ukraine.
They are that crazy !

Japan's Defense Ministry officials are considering the construction of dozens of ammunition and weapons depots in anticipation of a possible escalation of the Taiwan crisis, Nikkei Asia reported Saturday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Defense planners are seeking to distribute military supplies near Taiwan to make them more accessible to Japanese forces defending the country's China-facing islands.
The new storage facilities will be located on the Nansei Islands, which include Okinawa, and stretch into Taiwan from the southern tip of Kyushu, Japan's most southern major island. According to the report, Japan will also study the possibility of joint use of US military facilities.
