That is one piece of statistic. Testament to the focus placed on safety.
Some perspective: Last year was the safest recorded in jet airline history.
Not a single fatal accident in 31.3 million flight departures worldwide.
Zero fatalities.

Some great news!
1) Felicity will be joining the Centre for Nuclear Engineering at Imperial, as a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow, to start her own research group on materials degradation / characterization for nuclear power! Congrats Dr. Worsnop!

UK's elite hardware talent is being wasted. ‘Imperial, Oxford, and Cambridge produce world-class engineers. Yet post-graduation, their trajectory is an economic tragedy - and a hidden arbitrage opportunity.’ josef.cn/blog/uk-talent

Up next from the group Oscar Langdon @ImpMaterials @CDT_ACM talked about his PhD research using electron diffraction to investigate novel Ti alloys!
Beautiful materials to look at under #greenelectrons & lots of fun to co-supervise such an awesome student with @DavidDye9 😎🔬

Congrats to my friends in @UKLabour. Extraordinary turnaround. Please use your thumping majority wisely, we all need you to get this right. As for @ConserativesUK, my party, hear this: tack back to planet sensible & competent. Do not spiral off to the nebula of bonkers. Or else.

20mph stats from Wales are amazing:
📉 32% drop in casualties
📉 20% fall in car insurance claims
💷 NHS + police + insurance + property damage savings due to less accidents means payback for implementation (£34m) is about 6 months 🤯

Talking on in the pouring rain to the accompaniment of Things Can Only Get Better. You wouldn't script it like this. Too much of a humiliation, it wouldn't seem plausible.

As Lord Chancellor, I approved the JAC recommendations to appoint Lord Burnett as LCJ, Bs Hale as Supreme Ct President & various other senior judges. I did so with no knowledge of the candidates' political views or whether they even voted. 1/4
