If you look at these clips of Liz Truss - I don't think it is that bad. Thinking back to Theresa May, it was the same thing, the same 'human clumsiness'. It didn't really do Theresa May any harm, her problems were all to do with the Conservative Party. I think the problem Truss will also primarily encounter is managing the Conservative party.

OK.
Here's the story.
The James Webb telescope is looking at stars and galaxies that are a long, long way away. We are therefore seeing them billions of years ago. When the universe was a lot younger. According the standard model, these galaxies should therefore look a lot less developed and a lot less stable.
However, what we're seeing is galaxies that are billions of years away, and look much more mature than we'd expect to see.
This means one of several things, of which the two most likely are:
(1) The Galaxy is a lot older (and larger) than we had previously thought (2) The Big Bang theory is simply wrong
I remember as a student reading some of the articles about the steady state theory, which was fashionable around that time and always seemed to me more intuitively credible than much of what has followed.
If the universe has always existed (better considered as time itself being an internal feature within and property of the universe, rather than some external absolute construct as we imagine it) then all the human-centric nonsense around its creator simply goes away.
No as God would have created it. The evidence is not that the universe has always been created but that it is much older than thought
Who created God? Where did God "live" before he "created" the universe?
God is eternal
Just accept that the universe is eternal and the need to believe in your Father Christmas for grown-ups (many of whose presents are decidedly not what people were asking for) simply goes away.
As far as I know no one has asked at the leader hustings how they will cope with a Trump fascist America that is pulling out of NATO and supporting Putin.
Some civil servants might want to have a very close read of the fine print of the Trident contract.
If the United States were to withdraw their cooperation completely, the UK nuclear capability would probably have a life expectancy measured in months rather than years.
We could create our own nuclear weapons pretty quickly if needed, as could Israel and Japan
Ho ho. The financial resources for that would have to be nicked from other budgets. Given a choice between widespread civil unrest and chucking the nukes, it is easy to see what they’d do.
National defence is always the top priority. We already spend a large amount on nuclear weapons anyway and riot police can be used to crush agitators

Is the United Kingdom a Genuine Nuclear Power? A Look at the British Nuclear Forces' Unique Lack of Independence
Britain today maintains a sizeable nuclear arsenal, which as of 2021 stands at 120 operationally available warheads and a further 95 in reserve - with plans to increase the number operational . Of the available warheads only 40 are deployed at a time, all from nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines equipped with intercontinental range ballistic missiles. While no other state, be it Israel, Pakistan, France or North Korea, has ceded its ability to operate its nuclear arsenal to another country, this is exactly what Britain has done which represents a decision entirely unique among the world's nuclear powers.

The preliminary JWST calibration that has been used for many of these studies is wrong by up to 30% and that can have a huge impact on the inferred redshifts of these objects.
There was a big kerfuffle about a decade ago, when a group of scientists thought they had discovered neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light. They eventually found some loose cables in the timer explaning the anomalies.
My Year 13 class that year had a lot of fun with that story.
The National Republican Army that according to Ilya Ponomarev killed Darya Dugina in Moscow seem to have kept remarkably quiet about themselves up until now. I wonder how they recruited their "partisan" network.
“ 'This action, like many other partisan actions carried out on the territory of Russia in recent months, was carried out by the National Republican Army (NRA),' Ponomarev said."
Why start the publicity with this one?
I'm not sure whether the N stands for "национальная" or "народная".
"The former deputy read what purported to be an NRA manifesto: 'We declare President Putin a usurper of power and a war criminal who amended the Constitution, unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death.
'Poverty and coffins for some, palaces for others – the essence of his policy. We believe that disenfranchised people have the right to rebel against tyrants. Putin will be deposed and destroyed by us!'"
And in the meantime before they acquire the means to ambush Tsar Putin they will blow up 29-year old women who may be far-right fans of Eurasian Empire but who are known mostly for who their ideologist fathers are?

No. Theresa May made the 2017 GE campaign all about her “Theresa May - Strong and Stable in the National Interest” IIRC. Based on polling when she called it she was on for a triple figure majority. What did for her was that a spotlight was shone on her (during an absurdly long campaign) that had not previously because she secured a coronation the previous year. That spotlight, and a sensible but nevertheless almost suicidal, policy on social care, did her in. As a result, instead of bestriding a colossal majority, mistress of all she surveyed, able to pass any Brexit deal she pleased, she was a diminished figure who did well to last a further two years.

Trump said he would now bomb Putin a few months ago
He said the US should implement the following cunning plan:
* bomb Russia while pretending to be Chinese * “And then we say, ‘China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it,’ and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch.”
The Union is under threat like never before. A @lucidtalk poll shows 57% of 18-24-yr-olds want Irish unity with just 35% opting to stay in the UK. Among those aged 25-44, it’s 48% to 42%. The writing is on the wall, although some are too blind to see it.

Rubbish. The same poll had staying in the UK 7% ahead and just 36% wanting a border poll in the next 5 years.
Young people always get more conservative as they age too
They won’t if they can’t afford to buy or rent
Also depends what you mean by conservative. Having a decent and rational economy in Ireland is a good conservative ethos to have. As opposed to Brexit.

I don’t think anyone is drawing firm conclusions yet are they? These are tentative first glimmers of new science, which might turn out to mean nothing at all but might turn out to mean everything.
Let’s face it, we know our current road maps - Relativity and the Standard Model - are lacking in fully describing reality. Isn’t it exciting that we have a new scientific instrument that might help fill in the blanks. And that there’s some speculative early data which if confirmed would turns things on their head?
As far as I know no one has asked at the leader hustings how they will cope with a Trump fascist America that is pulling out of NATO and supporting Putin.
Some civil servants might want to have a very close read of the fine print of the Trident contract.
If the United States were to withdraw their cooperation completely, the UK nuclear capability would probably have a life expectancy measured in months rather than years.
We could create our own nuclear weapons pretty quickly if needed, as could Israel and Japan
Makes one wonder what they were doing in Burghfield and Aldermaston for the last 70+ years. It's the missiles that we rent from the US.
They would need to be done from scratch, as the transfer of nuclear tech is illegal by international treaty. And MoD can't even get a bog standard armoured vehicle right, despite several of the same general type long in production wordlwide.

He was quite clear that a truly independent nuclear weapons system was quite out of the question. He usually knows what he’s talking about on military topics

Could this article have any less actual detail in it?
OK.
Here's the story.
The James Webb telescope is looking at stars and galaxies that are a long, long way away. We are therefore seeing them billions of years ago. When the universe was a lot younger. According the standard model, these galaxies should therefore look a lot less developed and a lot less stable.
However, what we're seeing is galaxies that are billions of years away, and look much more mature than we'd expect to see.
This means one of several things, of which the two most likely are:
(1) The Galaxy is a lot older (and larger) than we had previously thought (2) The Big Bang theory is simply wrong
I remember as a student reading some of the articles about the steady state theory, which was fashionable around that time and always seemed to me more intuitively credible than much of what has followed.
If the universe has always existed (better considered as time itself being an internal feature within and property of the universe, rather than some external absolute construct as we imagine it) then all the human-centric nonsense around its creator simply goes away.
No as God would have created it. The evidence is not that the universe has always been created but that it is much older than thought
Who created God? Where did God "live" before he "created" the universe?
The Union is under threat like never before. A @lucidtalk poll shows 57% of 18-24-yr-olds want Irish unity with just 35% opting to stay in the UK. Among those aged 25-44, it’s 48% to 42%. The writing is on the wall, although some are too blind to see it.

That makes sense. I think this is falsely construed to mean that the UK PM has to phone POTUS to launch a missile though.
It's just that if we get another Trump term and he completely loses it, we lose our nuclear deterrent if all four need fixing, or until a "normal" POTUS comes in.

Young people always get more conservative as they age too
They won’t if they can’t afford to buy or rent
Also depends what you mean by conservative. Having a decent and rational economy in Ireland is a good conservative ethos to have. As opposed to Brexit.
Brexit was the opposite of conservative. It was revolutionary.

Trump said he would now bomb Putin a few months ago
He said the US should implement the following cunning plan:
* bomb Russia while pretending to be Chinese * “And then we say, ‘China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it,’ and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch.”
The guy is gaga.
I personally thought that was one of his better takes on international affairs.

The article writer obviously hasn't a clue, but I gather that there have already been some interesting observations with the JWST showing young galaxies that look somewhat different to what was expected. Of course this doesn't mean the BBT is wrong as this article seems to think. It just means the our models of galaxy formation need some refinement. The JWST already seems to be proving it's worth!

Have a look at the MoD's track record. It can't organise the sort of eight wheel APC family that the Russians invented in the 1970s and the Americans, Germans, Koreans etc. developed their own take on years back. The UK effort is called Ajax. It's more dangerous to the UK squaddies than anythign else. And this is bog standard modern tech, not rocket science.

The National Republican Army that according to Ilya Ponomarev killed Darya Dugina in Moscow seem to have kept remarkably quiet about themselves up until now. I wonder how they recruited their "partisan" network.
“ 'This action, like many other partisan actions carried out on the territory of Russia in recent months, was carried out by the National Republican Army (NRA),' Ponomarev said."
Why start the publicity with this one?
I'm not sure whether the N stands for "национальная" or "народная".
"The former deputy read what purported to be an NRA manifesto: 'We declare President Putin a usurper of power and a war criminal who amended the Constitution, unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death.
'Poverty and coffins for some, palaces for others – the essence of his policy. We believe that disenfranchised people have the right to rebel against tyrants. Putin will be deposed and destroyed by us!'"
And in the meantime before they acquire the means to ambush Tsar Putin they will blow up 29-year old women who may be far-right fans of Eurasian Empire but who are known mostly for who their ideologist fathers are?
Who do you think did it and why then?
I've got no opinion on that. Dugin I believe to have been FSB for decades, so I doubt it was Putin. The NRA first bringing its manifesto to light by having extracts from it read out in Kiev doesn't seem like a strong move. It will be interesting to see what's in it if it's published.

Where did the original 'something' come from then?
If you look at these clips of Liz Truss - I don't think it is that bad. Thinking back to Theresa May, it was the same thing, the same 'human clumsiness'. It didn't really do Theresa May any harm, her problems were all to do with the Conservative Party. I think the problem Truss will also primarily encounter is managing the Conservative party.

I’ve a vaguely deistic view of the universe. Like 12 steppers, I find it helpful to have some conception of a higher power and kinda imagined it to be the cause of the Big Bang, setting it off like one would light a match and watch the smoke particles but taking no active role save to observe thereafter. I’m going to be dead annoyed if I have to start again.

That is not what it says. It says that there are 5.5 million who work in that area, but that includes the toilet cleaners, accountants, cleaners, and the sort of 'engineer' who is a mechanic rather than a professional design engineer. And a lot of them will be in stuff like making plastic bags for Tesco etc.

They would need to be done from scratch, as the transfer of nuclear tech is illegal by international treaty. And MoD can't even get a bog standard armoured vehicle right, despite several of the same general type long in production wordlwide.
“The RN can't degauss/deperm their boats because they lack a suitable facility and the inclination to spend the vast amounts of money necessary to build one.
They can't test Trident launches because they lack an instrumented range ship and the inclination to spend the vast amounts of money necessary to build one.“
He was quite clear that a truly independent nuclear weapons system was quite out of the question. He usually knows what he’s talking about on military topics
He was particularly accurate with regards to the strength of the Russian armed forces.
Indeed DA would happily back Putin over the UK
Not sure about that one.
Don't think I've ever heard him back anything other than Extinction Rebellion.
Also, did HYUFD ever serve his country in any capacity other than the Cub Scouts? DA certainly had a riskier time than learning how to put on a woggle and say 'dib-dib'.
As far as I know no one has asked at the leader hustings how they will cope with a Trump fascist America that is pulling out of NATO and supporting Putin.
Some civil servants might want to have a very close read of the fine print of the Trident contract.
If the United States were to withdraw their cooperation completely, the UK nuclear capability would probably have a life expectancy measured in months rather than years.

Rubbish, we have the scientists and the funds to spend on our own independent nuclear weapons if it is a matter of our survival and the US no longer an ally
It's not scientists you need or nukes, but engineers, project managers, and delivery systems.
Do try and make the distinction.
We have plenty of those too
The party that says “Fuck Business” now appreciates the value of engineers, project managers and delivery systems? Nice try, but no coconut.
The other point of interest is - who would build the things? I can't think of any UK company that makes ballistic missiles of the right general kind, can you?
The National Republican Army that according to Ilya Ponomarev killed Darya Dugina in Moscow seem to have kept remarkably quiet about themselves up until now. I wonder how they recruited their "partisan" network.
“ 'This action, like many other partisan actions carried out on the territory of Russia in recent months, was carried out by the National Republican Army (NRA),' Ponomarev said."
Why start the publicity with this one?
I'm not sure whether the N stands for "национальная" or "народная".
"The former deputy read what purported to be an NRA manifesto: 'We declare President Putin a usurper of power and a war criminal who amended the Constitution, unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death.
'Poverty and coffins for some, palaces for others – the essence of his policy. We believe that disenfranchised people have the right to rebel against tyrants. Putin will be deposed and destroyed by us!'"
And in the meantime before they acquire the means to ambush Tsar Putin they will blow up 29-year old women who may be far-right fans of Eurasian Empire but who are known mostly for who their ideologist fathers are?
Who do you think did it and why then?
I've got no opinion on that. Dugin I believe to have been FSB for decades, so I doubt it was Putin. The NRA first bringing its manifesto to light by having extracts from it read out in Kiev doesn't seem like a strong move. It will be interesting to see what's in it if it's published.
You gotta have an opinion. I mean, you think God came down from heaven and stopped... (Gunshot)

Is the United Kingdom a Genuine Nuclear Power? A Look at the British Nuclear Forces' Unique Lack of Independence
Britain today maintains a sizeable nuclear arsenal, which as of 2021 stands at 120 operationally available warheads and a further 95 in reserve - with plans to increase the number operational . Of the available warheads only 40 are deployed at a time, all from nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines equipped with intercontinental range ballistic missiles. While no other state, be it Israel, Pakistan, France or North Korea, has ceded its ability to operate its nuclear arsenal to another country, this is exactly what Britain has done which represents a decision entirely unique among the world's nuclear powers.

Don’t like Liz Truss at all but TBH the worst thing about that video is the fact someone thought it a good idea to stretch it out over more than 8 minutes.
As far as I know no one has asked at the leader hustings how they will cope with a Trump fascist America that is pulling out of NATO and supporting Putin.
Trump said he would now bomb Putin a few months ago
He said the US should implement the following cunning plan:
* bomb Russia while pretending to be Chinese * “And then we say, ‘China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it,’ and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch.”
The guy is gaga.
I personally thought that was one of his better takes on international affairs.
It's more or less what the USA has done with Covid, so it's hardly far fetched.

We're getting to the point where HYUFD is advocating hugely expensive nationalised factories and workforces.
Could this article have any less actual detail in it?
OK.
Here's the story.
The James Webb telescope is looking at stars and galaxies that are a long, long way away. We are therefore seeing them billions of years ago. When the universe was a lot younger. According the standard model, these galaxies should therefore look a lot less developed and a lot less stable.
However, what we're seeing is galaxies that are billions of years away, and look much more mature than we'd expect to see.
This means one of several things, of which the two most likely are:
(1) The Galaxy is a lot older (and larger) than we had previously thought (2) The Big Bang theory is simply wrong
I remember as a student reading some of the articles about the steady state theory, which was fashionable around that time and always seemed to me more intuitively credible than much of what has followed.
If the universe has always existed (better considered as time itself being an internal feature within and property of the universe, rather than some external absolute construct as we imagine it) then all the human-centric nonsense around its creator simply goes away.
No as God would have created it. The evidence is not that the universe has always been created but that it is much older than thought
Who created God? Where did God "live" before he "created" the universe?
God is eternal
Just accept that the universe is eternal and the need to believe in your Father Christmas for grown-ups (many of whose presents are decidedly not what people were asking for) simply goes away.
Nope, just convert to Christ and you will receive eternal life
Simple-minded drivel
No the most important life lesson of all
Right up there with "Live, laugh, love" for me
It’s only the second most important life lesson. The first is to never vote Tory.

Some civil servants might want to have a very close read of the fine print of the Trident contract.
If the United States were to withdraw their cooperation completely, the UK nuclear capability would probably have a life expectancy measured in months rather than years.
We could create our own nuclear weapons pretty quickly if needed, as could Israel and Japan
Makes one wonder what they were doing in Burghfield and Aldermaston for the last 70+ years. It's the missiles that we rent from the US.
They would need to be done from scratch, as the transfer of nuclear tech is illegal by international treaty. And MoD can't even get a bog standard armoured vehicle right, despite several of the same general type long in production wordlwide.
“The RN can't degauss/deperm their boats because they lack a suitable facility and the inclination to spend the vast amounts of money necessary to build one.

He was quite clear that a truly independent nuclear weapons system was quite out of the question. He usually knows what he’s talking about on military topics
Rubbish, we have the scientists and the funds to spend on our own independent nuclear weapons if it is a matter of our survival and the US no longer an ally
It's not scientists you need or nukes, but engineers, project managers, and delivery systems.
Do try and make the distinction.
We have plenty of those too
The party that says “Fuck Business” now appreciates the value of engineers, project managers and delivery systems? Nice try, but no coconut.
The other point of interest is - who would build the things? I can't think of any UK company that makes ballistic missiles of the right general kind, can you?
Who needs ballistic missiles? FUDHY will go for a budget delivery system. DPD Pickup.

Indeed DA would happily back Putin over the UK
Not sure about that one.
Don't think I've ever heard him back anything other than Extinction Rebellion.
Also, did HYUFD ever serve his country in any capacity other than the Cub Scouts? DA certainly had a riskier time than learning how to put on a woggle and say 'dib-dib'.
FUDHY is always ready for action.
We're getting to the point where HYUFD is advocating hugely expensive nationalised factories and workforces.
Riot police.
Nationalising the manufacturing sector.
Stealing the budgets of health, education, housing and transport.

All you need is scientists and engineers to build them, of whom we have amongst the best in the world, the government can fund the project itself
Slight brain fart there. You need factories and workforces. Where are they? Foreign factories? Foreign companies?
BAE? You can build your own, you can also nationalise companies overnight for national security if needed
They don't do ICBMs. Nor does anyone in the UK. Nothing to nationalise. And multinationals get snotty if you do.
They can do if told to, the government would have to order them to and defence multinationals can sod off if they are not willing to support national security. Those based in Britain would be nationalised for the nuclear weapons effort.
No point having multinationals if you have been destroyed by Putin's nuclear missiles as no effective nuclear deterrent
The constant barrage of anti-Truss articles is getting a bit tedious. She may be rubbish but let's at least wait and see.
I feel some of this is Remainer disappointment. What did Hezza say - when Boris goes, Brexit goes. And yet now it looks like the Brexit project continues.
Remainer disappointment at having remainer Truss as PM rather than leaver Sunak. That disappointment?

That's a strategic nuclear deterrent. We could have tactical nuclear warheads, delivered via conventional means. In many ways they would be a lot scarier to opponents than strategic ones, because they're not necessarily just a doomsday weapon of last resort.

Bit of an O. G. disproving the Big Bang - it's absolutely classic linear-from-beginning Anglican ontogenetic eschatology, vide for instance the geological arguments in the early C19 about immeasurable cyclical ttime ((c) HuttonJ) vs a definite sequence of history.

If the alternative is being obliterated by Putin of course
Being obliterated by Putin’s pal Trump looks more feasible.

Thinking back to Theresa May, it was the same thing, the same 'human clumsiness'.
It didn't really do Theresa May any harm, her problems were all to do with the Conservative Party.
I think the problem Truss will also primarily encounter is managing the Conservative party.
All this other stuff is in hindsight. Nobody was calling her weird before GE17
Britain today maintains a sizeable nuclear arsenal, which as of 2021 stands at 120 operationally available warheads and a further 95 in reserve - with plans to increase the number operational . Of the available warheads only 40 are deployed at a time, all from nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines equipped with intercontinental range ballistic missiles. While no other state, be it Israel, Pakistan, France or North Korea, has ceded its ability to operate its nuclear arsenal to another country, this is exactly what Britain has done which represents a decision entirely unique among the world's nuclear powers.

The steady-state theory has not been fashionable since May 20, 1964.
My Year 13 class that year had a lot of fun with that story.
“ 'This action, like many other partisan actions carried out on the territory of Russia in recent months, was carried out by the National Republican Army (NRA),' Ponomarev said."
Why start the publicity with this one?
I'm not sure whether the N stands for "национальная" or "народная".
"The former deputy read what purported to be an NRA manifesto: 'We declare President Putin a usurper of power and a war criminal who amended the Constitution, unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death.
'Poverty and coffins for some, palaces for others – the essence of his policy. We believe that disenfranchised people have the right to rebel against tyrants. Putin will be deposed and destroyed by us!'"
And in the meantime before they acquire the means to ambush Tsar Putin they will blow up 29-year old women who may be far-right fans of Eurasian Empire but who are known mostly for who their ideologist fathers are?

(4) The paper is bullshit and the article writer is an idiot who doesn't understand why things need to be peer reviewed
* bomb Russia while pretending to be Chinese
* “And then we say, ‘China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it,’ and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch.”
The guy is gaga.
They usually win.

It could also be a combination of (1) and (3) - that the universe is a bit older than we'd thought, and we need to tweak our models of early galaxy formation.
Let’s face it, we know our current road maps - Relativity and the Standard Model - are lacking in fully describing reality. Isn’t it exciting that we have a new scientific instrument that might help fill in the blanks. And that there’s some speculative early data which if confirmed would turns things on their head?
It's just that if we get another Trump term and he completely loses it, we lose our nuclear deterrent if all four need fixing, or until a "normal" POTUS comes in.
Hey, guess what, they've already revised the estimate for one target down.
