The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news.

As an American watching our best & most crucial institutions crumble in less than a year under Trump, I suggest you make as many of these changes now, while you can.
We didn’t, obviously.

This is what the future would be like if Farage got in power… who needs evidence if you can just make it up and then impose it on the public whether they like it or not..

Because you have a secret weapon that they don’t.
