In my article for @Conserva_Tech I argue that recent cuts to Jodrell Bank Observatory could mark a stark warning for ARIA’s continuation, and explain why any cuts to ARIA would be a significant blow to sovereign tech and defence development capabilities. conservatech.io/guest-commenta…

Nationalisation does not work. It didn’t work with British Rail. This is why @KemiBadenoch and the @Conservatives are right to be the *only party* being honest with the public about it. In a sea of left wing economic parties pushing for public ownership, we must reject this ⬇️

Jodrell Bank should be a warning. Britain cannot be a science and technology superpower by cutting the institutions that make long-term, high-risk bets on innovation. ARIA – and its potential pipeline into UK Defence Innovation – must be protected. Our latest guest blog from @finlaytm👇 conservatech.io/guest-commenta…

Great to see Britain’s latest defence unicorn raise funds to reindustrialise and defend our country. I caught up with Cambridge Aerospace at Farnborough just last month to hear how we can back businesses like them. We need more of this!

I'm really not sure how many times we need to learn in the UK that China is a hostile state and we shouldn't let them near any of our critical infrastructure, or indeed approve a mega embassy in the capital.

In our latest commentary blog, @LewisOrmston welcomes the Government’s decision to reform procurement, but warns that further steps are needed to fully back UK SMEs. conservatech.io/guest-commenta…

The next step in procurement reform is tackling vendor lock-in. Government should encourage open standards, interoperability and genuine competition, making it easier to switch suppliers and giving British innovators a fair chance to compete. Better value for taxpayers. Better outcomes. Stronger UK tech 🚀🇬🇧

Procurement isn't just about buying goods and services. It's one of the most powerful tools government has to grow British technology. Every contract is a choice: back a British scale-up or reinforce an overseas incumbent. Let's make sure public procurement helps build the next generation of British tech success stories.

BREAKING: The UK government is expanding the Global Talent visa programme to attract the world's brightest researchers! This enables 100+ research-intensive companies to sponsor the world's best scientists and engineers to live and work in Britain, not just universities and research institutes. The goal is to drive breakthroughs in AI, quantum computing, nuclear fusion, clean energy and life sciences while creating skilled jobs and growth in every part of the UK. NICE

My take on this is that there shouldn't be pages like this allowed on Reddit or Facebook etc. They are full of people advising others on how to game the system rather than genuine advice - which can be sought from official sources. I would empower Ofcom to take action against these sites unless they shut down these pages and 'benefit influencers' on Instagram.

There are worrying signs that these cuts are the result of a cost cutting spreadsheet rather than analysis of the impact and opportunities in one of our most critical sectors. The proposed cuts will not only have an impact on UK Science now but also our ability to train the next generation of talent - the Government must address these concerns before it’s too late.

The political leadership of UKRI now belongs to @jreynoldsMP as Business Secretary. So he gets to own the Jodrell Bank decision and the act of self-harm that this gov's hollowing out of our national scientific facilities and capabilities represents. Following my public call last

This is precisely why @RishiSunak established the AI Security Institute. Britain has been leading the world in independently testing frontier AI models for dangerous capabilities 🇬🇧 Spotting these risks early is how we support innovation while staying ahead of genuine threats.

The voters love OpenAI. According to @TheArgumentMag polling, none of the major AI discourse (e.g. Anthropic's fight with Trump) seems to have had much of an impact on public opinion of the AI labs. Even among *people worried about catastrophic risks* OpenAI has a +8

On my recent visit to the @HarwellCampus, I stopped in to see @moderna_tx incredible new research hub and vaccine manufacturing site. The result of a ten year partnership deal we signed while in government, the site means the UK can now ramp up 250m vaccine doses domestically if we face a future pandemic. It’s not just a vital insurance policy - the NHS’s seasonal vaccines are now being spun up here. The site is also a major research centre. Here brilliant scientists are researching everything from personalised cancer drugs to a jab that keeps the dreaded winter vomiting virus at bay. We need more life sciences partnerships like this but have seen under Labour too many firms cancel major investments in the UK. If we are to grow this sector and make sure NHS patients get the very best treatments, not just off-patent drugs, we need to see follow through on the Life Sciences Sector Plan and the economic fundamentals going in a much better direction. It is no surprise that sky high energy bills, sabre rattling on taxes, onerous new labour laws, NI hikes and impenetrable NHS procurement continue to see the UK lose our lead in this vital industry.
