We went behind the scenes at Thales UK’s optronics site in Glasgow, where the same people who build periscopes and sighting systems for the armed forces are also opening paths into engineering for young people across the city.

Politics can be complex, but every so often it’s pretty easy to tell which side of history you’re on. For example, if you require the police to arrest elderly ladies for peacefully protesting against genocide, that’ll probably be the wrong side.

This is a good idea!
The Met Office are letting us submit our own storm name suggestions:
www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...
There's space for five names in the submission boxes.
Let's go with:
Exxon Mobil
BP
Shell
Equinor
Chevron
At last, those companies will get the recognition they deserve.
Pls retweet!

All sorts of debate around Donald Trump's chaotic actions.
What is the master of the "art of the deal" up to?
What's his strategy?
What's his thinking?
Alternative hypothesis - what if he's just dangerously stupid?
