Scientists for Britain

UK scientists confident that our talented science community will continue to thrive outside the political structures of the EU. #ScientistsforBritain #GoWTO

[Scientists for Britain @ScienceBritain]

The EU has been militarising its science programmes.
Even Berlin-headquartered Nature magazine, our detractors in the EU referendum era, voice concern in their editorial here.
But they’re far too late, the EU has prepared this for years and won’t change.

Keir Starmer is expected to SURRENDER to EU demands and allow EU students to pay less to attend UK universities, effectively subsidised by British taxpayers.
Question: Is Starmer right to surrender?

For once, this Miliband madness WAS in Labour’s manifesto… But not its costs.

Revealed: Over £200bn and nearly ¼ m jobs are at stake with the ‘Energy Independence Bill’.

Ideological extremism and what it could cost the country: https://t.co/U7gPfpNyzb

There is a tradition of unpopular governments showing restraint to avoid further public anger.
Yet Keir Starmer is doing the opposite, rushing to complete an unpopular EU Partnership Bill which 'effectively reverses Brexit' – as Dr @DansBoucher explains.

EU tells its aid recipients not to support the Russian treasury (like the EU does with oil and gas purchasing).

Financial experts warn that Starmer’s EU Youth Mobility Scheme will harm young people’s prospects in the UK.
It is made much worse by a hidden interaction with the new Renters Rights Act.

Starmer’s desperate EU convergence plans have a defence component, as economist @Bob_Lyddon reminds us here:
“The latest proposed reconvergences will involve re-alignment with EU rules and participation in new EU shadow debt schemes for defence spending.”

Starmer has no idea that these deals are incompatible with his EU Reset.

[Ramon Agusta @ramonagusta]

Astonishing...

From 1973 to 2010, *we paid the EEC/EU* in today's money, £500 billion to take away a cumulative £3.5 TRILLION of manufacturing GDP from us.

3.5 million jobs were lost.

🚨 Starmer’s Big Answer Is More Europe — No Wonder Voters Are Walking Away

He claims Brexit made Britain poorer.

But since the Brexit vote:

UK real GDP: +12.1%
Germany real GDP: +6.0%

So why is Starmer treating Brussels like the answer?

This is well worth reading - whether you are a minister, opposition politician or anyone trying to understand the UK's energy vulnerability and how we address that.

The exec summary alone is hugely informative and well-argued.

Congrats to @CeeMacBee and co-authors.

Dr. Angus Dalgleish — one of Britain’s most respected oncologists and immunologists — is sounding a serious alarm.

He warns that we’ve entered a new dark age in universities, scientific research, and government, driven by political correctness and woke ideology.

Dalgleish calls it a cancer that has infected the heart of academia and the soul of the civil service. Political correctness, he says, is fundamentally anti-scientific: it decides in advance what you’re allowed to say, observe, and conclude. Truth becomes secondary to dogma.

He compares the current denial to alcoholism — nothing gets fixed until institutions first admit there’s a deep problem.

It’s a sobering warning from a senior scientist who has watched the rot spread for years.

The clip is only 1:56 long, but it hits hard.

Are we already too far gone, or is there still time to push back before these institutions completely lose their ability to seek truth?

And at 9.30pm the UK is importing 20% of its electricity from the Europe. 10% is coming from France alone.

[Steven Edginton @StevenEdginton]

Philip Rycroft, arch Whitehall insider who said Brexit has "slowed our progress as a nation, if not put it into reverse", called it a "wrong turn", and said the "Brexit insurgency rode a wave of divisive identity politics", wrote a report for Starmer which blocks Reform from receiving money from its biggest financial backer.

Dominic Cummings warned Reform would face lawfare from the British state. Cutting off Reform's major donor base is exactly that. Rycroft is not an impartial civil servant - he constantly retweets pro-EU accounts (e.g. one talking about "Brexit cultists"), heavily criticised David Frost/Cummings' Civil Service reforms, and implied support of Labour's radical constitutional reforms.

How is this fair? British kids have to get 3 As to get into University yet foreign students have to get 2 Cs and 1 D.... for the exact same course.

[Gawain Towler @GHWTowler]

The idea that the Clvil Service is neutral is a convenient fiction. It is not, we need to be honest about this.
And we need to accept the ramifications of this.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

I kid you not. Rachel Reeves praises Canada and Norway for INCREASING their production of oil and gas.

So while the Labour Party proudly ban new oil and gas production in the UK, they openly support it in other countries.

You literally couldn't make it up.
This is INSANE!

[Sam Dumitriu @Sam_Dumitriu]

NEW: Britain is the most expensive country in the world to build a nuclear power plant.

The Fingleton Review challenged the Government to deliver a radical programme of planning and regulatory reform to make it cheaper and quicker to build nuclear power plants.

The Government have now published a full response and implementation plan.

Did they deliver 'full implementation' or is it another Labour U-Turn?

Here's @BritainRemade's analysis.

This is a really big step forward.

On safety and reactor design, this is the radical reset of nuclear regulation the review demanded.

On planning, this is the most radical infrastructure reform agenda the govt has put forward yet.

However, it is not 'full' implementation.

Some key measures have been watered down. For example, Habs Regs reforms have become 'updated guidance' and lack statutory underpinning.

Some have been rejected such as the call for statutory time limits for permits and the call to make community benefits a material consideration in planning.

Overall, it's really good news for nuclear (and therefore energy security). This could end up as Starmer's best legacy as PM.

As Channel 4 made their own video about English Water I thought I would do my own.

So here you are. Some actual facts about English water.

[Bruges Group 🇬🇧 @BrugesGroup]

The more details emerge about the Gibraltar deal, the worse it gets. Now we learn that Spanish forces will be allowed to board Royal Navy vessels under the terms of the treaty.

This is a total capitulation.

The EU is fundamentally transactional.

Nothing explains this more than fish.

There was no common fisheries policy before we joined the EU.

In the recent EU reset negotiations, Labour gave away 8 more years of access to our waters.

Just as before, it all came down to the fish.
