A few things that seemed impossible until Brits (and partners) succeeded:

Vaccines
World Wide Web
Defeating Nazis
Industrial revolution
Abolishing slavery

Britain's most defining, visionary moments = adapting to global events and thriving in face of adversity

Impossible has never stopped us.

#NASAWebb was built to see the early universe. Earendel, the most distant star Webb has seen, is thought to exist about 1 billion years after the big bang. The most distant galaxy Webb has seen is even farther, around 300 million years after the big bang: bit.ly/40ZyR4L 🔭 🧪

UK has ALREADY made world-leading progress

2024:

📉 emissions fell to just 371m tonnes of carbon dioxide equiv, the lowest level since 1872

📈 UK’s net zero economy grew 10% and generated £83.1bn in Gross Value Added
Kemi Badenoch to describe UK's 2050 net zero target as "impossible":…
Climate Barometer’s YouGov poll from October 2024 shows that 65% of British adults support the net zero target, compared to 22% who oppose it.
