MODERATORS
"Greedy conservative trying his best to prevent smarter people from advancing science and society" is a better title. Every single penny spent on science research like this is yielding a 10-100 fold return for society in the long run. I really can't stress enough how important it is for society that scientists to have access to those grants and collaborations.
Even worse: In the preceeding scheme "Horizon 2020", the UK was by far the largest recipient.
It's become pretty clear in Sunaks tenure that he is an out and out money man, it's all he understands nothing beyond that.
It was clear from the start.
