Market Street, Manchester, England - 1930s

Jodrell Bank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk. We became aware of the problem in the autumn of last year. It is not a result of the overall funding settlement for science after the spending review, which was quite generous I would say in the circumstances. Neither as far as we can tell is it a direct decision by ministers (all of whom have now gone in any case). Rather the problems appears to have been caused by senior management at UKRI focusing on short term economic ‘impact’ (whatever that means) rather than doing their job as custodians of the foundations of science. What must happen now is that the new ministerial team make the time (and space ;-)) to review the upcoming catastrophe, and instruct UKRI to do their job and focus on making Britain the best place in the world to do science, now and in the future.

#OTD in 1961, Russian #cosmonaut #YuriGagarin visited #Manchester. Thousands lined the route to greet him on his journey from #Ringway Airport to #OldTrafford, where he was a guest of the #AUFW. He also visited #MetropolitanVickers in #TraffordPark & attended a civic reception.

So Reform UK is funded by Russia, Restore bought and paid for by an American trillionaire, GB News owned by a hedge fund in Dubai and the Daily Mail registered in Bermuda. That's patriotism for you these days.

"From bus and train drivers sweltering in their cabins to bakers working in over 40 degrees, and builders whose workplaces offer no respite from the heat – the government has a duty to protect all of us." Today Hannah Spencer is tabling a maximum workplace temperature bill.

"In Canada ...campaigner [for] #assisteddying, Dr Ellen Wiebe, is reported to have assisted approximately 430 people to their deaths". That is double what Shipman accomplished. What sort of doctor will volunteer to help kill people? Very good by @dr_musgrave telegraph.co.uk/gift/066aa25…
