This is *insane* and I suspect might get reversed given it's both less than 20 miles away from the new Number 10 North and a very conspicuous symbol of UK science and discovery.

Terrible news. Aside from learning more about the universe, we're not going to get much economic growth by cutting science funding. (If only we had a Prime Minister who was interested in supporting the north, and Manchester in particular, who could stop this.) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Somehow I think you’re right!

Hope it gets the funding it needs. As well as the research it does is a wonderful educational resource as well introducing kids to the wonders of the universe

Cheshire is firmly in the North no matter what tedious people might say. It's a very bad look for Burnham in his second week, which is why I think this decision will be reversed.

Science funding for "carry on doing something we know works" can be surprisingly hard to maintain.

The key question is how the folks at the UKRI board thought this was a good idea.

People who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

When you see the huge list of things they fund, in all kinds of fields, I don't think it is as simple as that. Do you fund someone working in medical science, or do you fund someone studying stars? That might be the choice.

Given that the required funding is just over half a Nigel Farage, you’d hope so.

Funny how they waited til Burnham was in power....
