Lasers, electronics, ex F1 but talks about it way too much. Glasgow.
@therestpolitics.bsky.social Gents, slight correction! ASML in the Netherlands makes the machines that make the best chips in the world. Actual chips (using these machines) are made in Taiwan and USA. There is a big push by EU to make more in Europe. Enjoying the podcast, keep it up!

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.
Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.
What, Michelle? 🧵

@newsagents.bsky.social thank you for a calm, factual yet firm anti-right wing episode. Exactly the sort of thing that should be used by the government to counter Reform. My question is to why protests are allowed outside asylum hotels, surely they should be sent to the council offices to protest?

I once almost drowned on a school trip to a wave pool. I remember just being trapped below the surface, far too exhausted to thrash or even swim. A tiny old German lady spotted me, dragged me out and yelled at me while I lay there & choked. Likely she saved my life and I never even said danke schön
Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

@stellacreasy.bsky.social thank you for your work on regulatory alignment and safety today. It’s an issue that was a clear problem with Brexit and has frustrated me before the vote and ever since!

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy.
