Congratulations to all the new Starting Grant winners! Empowering researchers early on in their careers - that’s one of the core tasks of @ERC_Research. Especially happy to welcome UK researchers back. They’ve been missed. This influx is good for the research community overall!

Still digesting the landmark #Draghireport, but great to see the emphasis on R&I. Very happy with proposal to double support to ground-breaking fundamental research via the European Research Council! And the stance on preserving the ERC's independence. commission.europa.eu/topics/…

Here (from 10.12) is the MP for NW Cambs detailing the appalling state of the NHS left by the tories.Contrast that with his neighbour in NE Cambs who somehow managed to survive judgement day - as health secretary Barclay never had a clue let alone a plan. parliamentlive.tv/event/inde…

The University of Cambridge forcibly retires faculty each year just for turning 67. This occurs even if the person is on track to cure tuberculosis, understand autism, or develop battery tech. that solves the climate crisis. This ageist policy must go. tinyurl.com/bdfnk4ss

End EJRA!

So many lovely chats in Littleport today, especially the ones that ended ‘I’m 10 out of 10 voting Labour!’ One lady who recently lost her husband told me, I’ve seen the state of the NHS, that’s why I’m voting Labour. Residents want the change a Labour government will bring!

On the #Labourdoorstep in #Littleport today with #Ely and #EastCambridgeshire candidate @ElizabethMcWill. After 14 years of Tory failure people are desperate for the #change a #Labour government will bring.

'Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe; for they are disunited, ambitious, and without discipline' Machiavelli. As true now as it was in 1513.
