Really helpful explainers from @MartinSLewis below. The measures we have taken today allow us to stabilise universities, target more support to those who need it most and begin the work of reform, to build a system that ends the cycle of students paying more while getting less.

"We need to be alert to the risk that the UK starts to fall behind its world-leading position... R&D is an investment, not a cost". In @guardian this weekend, Prof Sir Andre Geim and Prof Dame Nancy Rothwell @OfficialUoM urge govt to back research funding for the long term.

Tough choices ahead, but I’ve every faith this govt is thinking long-term so will pull back from harming sources of growth.

R&D is an investment, not a cost & short-term penny pinching will only harm the economy in the long-term say Nancy Rothwell and Andre Geim: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I am hopeful that the current Govt, which understands the value of making policy for long-term prosperity, will judge it unwise to undermine the drivers of productivity.

As the letter to @thetimes points out, R&D will be key to the Govt's Industrial Strategy & innovation & economic growth agendas. This is why short-term cuts, which risk long-term scarring of the system, are inadvisable.

“Multiple sources with knowledge of discussions underway told RPN that with the amount of funding UKRI is already legally committed to next year, a budget squeeze of £1bn could force the agency to stop all spending on new grants in 2025-26.” researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-pol…

🚨New list of UK Cabinet Committees just dropped - encouraging to see Science & Tech very much still there alongside the new Mission Boards (and still chaired by the PM) Remit is "to consider matters related to S&T, to drive the UK's economic growth and national security".
