Scientists for EU

Please share this Scientists for EU letter in The Times 22/5/2015

"My son, Reese, is studying Marine Ecology and Environmental Sciences at the University of Maine... But today’s America is not a safe place for someone like him, a future scientist who happens to be trans, autistic, and gay." 💔 northeastbylines.co.uk/news/world-new…

James McCleary put it plainly. If exporting mussels now means 17 vet-signed documents and missed deadlines that ruin entire shipments, something has gone badly wrong. This isn’t control, it’s chaos. It’s time for a better deal with the EU.

UK labs are filled with talent from all over the world. No-one there is a “stranger”. We are all a community moving forward together for the enrichment, wonder & benefit of both our nation and the world as a whole. Starmer could learn much from the UK science community. 🔬🇬🇧🌎

The Independent asked me to respond to the prime minister's comments about the risk of the UK becoming "an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together" I said the PM's comments may legitimise Reform's worldview and give it a home in the political mainstream.…

“Approximately one in 28 people suffer from some form of foodborne illness every year in the UK. Not great. But in America, around one in six people experience some form of food poisoning ever year. Definitely much worse.” kentandsurreybylines.co.uk/wellbeing/heal…

🚨 New data from over 1,100 businesses across the UK shows the damage Brexit has done. 📉 72.8% of firms say they've been negatively impacted. This isn’t "teething problems", it’s structural harm to our economy. 🔍 Read the full report: europeanmovement.co.uk/business-impac…

It's estimated Brexit has cost the UK £100bn a year

What immigrants from all over the world have done for this country is tremendous. “Incalculable”, even. 🇬🇧♥️🌎

Brexit supporters can see the value of a closer deal with the EU in a rapidly changing world. On trade, defence and immigration, this government can get a better deal. ‘Red Wall’ MPs should support this endeavour. My piece for @thetimes today 👇 thetimes.com/article/d1403d…

Less red tape and lower costs: How the UK-EU political reset can support cancer research progress worldwide 79% of researchers surveyed said that since the UK left the EU it has been harder to begin new collaborations with EU-based scientists & researchers news.cancerresearchuk.org/2025/04/22/not…

"Science is an investment. We will put forward a new 500 million package for 2025-2027 to support the best and the brightest researchers and scientists from Europe and around the world." — President @vonderleyen at the ‘Choose Europe for Science' event at La Sorbonne 🇫🇷

Just 11% of people see Brexit as more of a success than a failure. 91% of businesses have reported that Brexit has made trading conditions with the EU harder. @CarolineLucas is right. Brexit has brought nothing but harm for Wales and the UK!
