Lots of people are asking about timings for tonight's spacecraft sightings. For the UK:
@Space_Station, 21:20 (look west, right of the moon)
@SpaceX launch, 21:33 (watch here: nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#…), then about 21:50, it will be following the same path as the ISS over the UK.

If you or someone you know is suffering from #DomesticAbuse, isolation rules do not apply.
Police response & support services remain available. Find support at gov.uk/domestic-abuse or call 999 if you’re in immediate danger.
At home shouldn’t mean at risk. #YouAreNotAlone

Friends working on the F1 NHS engineering project need an old hospital bed to help overcome the logistical problems of how the ventilators attach to the bed. They obvs don’t want to use an NHS one.
Can anyone help? Pls retweet.

After yesterday’s measures, the Chancellor now urgently needs to protect the incomes of the self-employed. Millions of people risk losing out. The national income guarantee scheme I set out this week would address this - Ministers need to act now. keirstarmer.com/keir-starmer…

This is a very welcome announcement for employed workers. I am afraid it appears inadequate for the millions of self-employed, gig economy workers. £92 per week UC I make it.

No, you’re not missing anything.
At best, we’ve been overlooked: at worst, we’ve been shafted.
The employed get up to £2500 month in lost salary, while we have to apply for Universal Credit sick pay of £90 a week.
A next-to-useless response.

Nerd that I am, it tickles me that 'raid', 'ride', and 'road' are siblings. Road is an old past tense of 'ride', because roads were travelled on horseback. 'Raid' was a Scots version of 'road' and meant to gallop off with hostile intent.

Our dear old Land Rover has been a part of the family for nearly 40 years. It was stolen at 4.00am earlier this week, and we'd rather like it back. Please put the word out - missing 38 year old, 6 cylinder, 109 LWB Land Rover, grey with white hard top, registration: 909 UMB.
