I’d ask if Brass Eye was back but I fear then answer is No…

Pretty sure people on minimum wage in the poorest areas are more than capable of building spaceships.

Now I’d have more faith if W&G were the chosen team.
At least labour have got there act together

But for top entertainment, it was hard to beat the Momentum-run The World Transformed, where Jeremy Corbyn’s speech on climate change was interrupted by his own brother. Piers started ranting about there being no such thing as man-made climate change while handing out anti-vax leaflets and was thrown out of the venue. Jezza and Piers make quite the double act. Hopefully they will be appearing together all week.

The UK’s history in space has mostly been in satellites and, for a country with a space programme, unusually commercial (no manned space activity, very little planetary exploration, not a big contributor to ESA). There was some government money put in, but not nearly as much as in other countries. They claim it’s currently “… a vital part of our economy, worth over £16.4 billion per year and employing over 45,000 people across the UK …”. You can bet they’ll have counted everything they possibly can in that, of course.

The Trump - Johnson parallels continue…Take back control → Make America Great Again. Strong on the boarder rhetoric. ‘Space Force’ → ‘Galactic Britain’. From a marketing perspective you’d suspect the same ad agency. The formula / messaging is so very similar, divisive, nationalistic, hyperbole. (Bannon fired → Cummings fired) (Both miracle recovered covid sufferers etc)
…It’s the same story right down to the bad haircuts.

When they’ve been proclaiming the purchase of a packet of aspirin as being the opening of a new hospital, you can bet that anything with a dish on it will count as a space centre.

If he knew this first thing about it then that would probably be true. Fortunately he doesn’t.

So, the proposed NHS structural reforms are going well. In place of STPs (shadow non statutory organisations) the DH has morphed these into ICS, which will see them have statutory powers, and CCGs being abolished in April 2022.
One slight problem (of many), is that 9 months ahead of this, 5 ICS (about 10% of them) have already had to be put in special measures - intensive Recovery Support Programmes, or the financial naughty step to be more plain.
These are the new great white hope for integrated regional care and making it more financially and clinically sustainable, yet they’re struggling under current regulation before a single decision has been taken in anger. Watch this space.

They should be going on a donations drive to fund some decent Russian hackerbothivecells.
They need to get a voice and be heard. They will not get airtime or column inches so internet fuckary is the only option really
