Listening to gnome is like listening to someone who cant accept the fact that his team lost. It's quite sad. But on the bright side, we're used to it.  |

Story by Michelle Donelan • Yesterday 21:00
Most people think of science as an abstract subject they remember from their school days, with Bunsen burners and litmus paper. But science and technology is all around us, everywhere we look, in every aspect of our lives. The things that now make our daily lives easier started life in the hands of people in white lab coats or young entrepreneurs in warehouses across the UK. No one doubts the UK’s rich history when it comes to scientific and technological innovation: from the jet engine to the rapid development of the Covid-19 vaccine, the UK has been at the forefront of many of the world’s most important technological developments and more scientific breakthroughs per capita than almost any other country. The UK’s tech sector is third only to the US and China in size, valued at $1 trillion and raising more investment than Germany and France combined, while the UK also has four of the best universities in the world, and is fourth on the global innovation index. From aircraft wings in Broughton to lithium car batteries in Teesside, the UK has led the way. But in recent years, commercialising the great ideas and discoveries born at UK universities – where there are still too few STEM students, especially girls – is still a challenge. So, this week, the Prime Minister appointed me as the first ever Secretary of State at the brand-new Department of Science, Innovation and Technology. The Prime Minister appointed me because, while our prowess in the field is undeniable, it is not enough to simply look back at our past achievements, great though they are. I firmly believe the UK is uniquely placed to be the world’s number-one science and tech nation, if we bring together all the right ingredients; the right skills, the right funding, the right ideas and the right regulation. That is the mission for my new department and my laser focus will be on these areas. As I said at Bloomberg last month, we got here because we have a clear vision for where this country is going, and a government that is prepared to match that ambition with action.

keep it up - you are making Kim look sensible.. Yup! "Growth rate ..... " I think the forum would benefit from a EU room and a Remnant room. Split it up so the good British people can discuss the EU objectively while the Remnants fill up the other one with their single minded repetitive narrative. |

I'm inclined to agree - the same moronic posts day in day out do get rather boring. |

Growth means nothing without other information.
If I had 2 Pence and arrived at 10 Pence I would have a growth rate of x5.
If I had five Pence and arrived at 10 Pence I would have a growth rate of x2. But I wouldn't be any richer.
In your discussion about growth you completely miss the point.
Even Truss understood it better than you do.
This is what I mean when I say discussions are impossible with people who don't know what they are talking about.

Growth means the economy is growing contrary to your constant doom mongering and talking down of our country.

Story by By Aditi Shah and Tim Hepher • 20m ago BENGALURU/PARIS (Reuters) - Air India's record aircraft deal has put the Tata Group-owned airline in the league of aspiring global carriers. On Tuesday, it provisionally agreed to acquire almost 500 jets from Airbus and Boeing to take on domestic and international rivals. Striking the largest ever deal by one airline took months of secret talks carried out a stone's throw from Britain's Buckingham palace and culminating in a celebration over coastal Indian curries, according to people involved in the talks. Confidentiality was lifted on Tuesday as leaders hailed the accord in a diplomatic embrace between leading G20 nations. Tata Group, which regained control of Air India last year after decades of public ownership, put out just six paragraphs. Its low-key announcement illustrates a rising breed of private airline owners transforming a financially-risky Indian airline sector, alongside the publicity-shy founders of IndiGo. The deal was in the making for over a year, insiders said, recounting details of the process on condition of anonymity. Serious talks began last summer and continued until days before Christmas when outlines were agreed. As the astonishing scale of the deal began to crystallise, Reuters reported in December the parties were nearing a record 500-plane agreement.

What I like in any argument are FACTS (scientific / proven ) and also statistics
Foreign investment into the United Kingdom is now One Eighth of what it was before the referendum
But of course it is, I mean which company in their right mind from the USA, India or Japan would want to invest in this country, when they can instead invest in an EU country thereby having free access to a market of 400 million people.
If we were NOT in the EEC in the 1980s, Nissan would never have built a car plant in Sunderland, and other manufacturers would also NOT have come to this country.
The European Union has been the NUMBER ONE reason why the UK has attracted more Foreign Investment than any other European nation.
Brexiteers now need to come clean and say "ok we got it wrong, sorry, we accept we were told lies, and the UK is now economicaly worse off". ( which it is )

We are the No 1 destination for foreign investment in Europe - whether we are in the EU or not has made no difference to that. Remoaners need to come clean and stop continually inventing shit..  |

Pacifico ... "Remoaners need to come clean and stop continually inventing shit.."
-----------------------------------------------------
The UK was second in the world for receiving Foreign Investment after the United States
The latest accurate figures put The Netherlands top of the European Inward Foreign Investment league
Foreign Investment into the European Union ( last recorded figures ) was $20 Trillion
Foreign Investment into the UK ( latest recorded figures ) was just over $2 Trillion
Ask yourself this question : If you were a Japanese manufacturer, would you open your new European plant in (A) the United Kingdom or (B) the European Union, knowing full well that any manufacturer in the EU has instant and free access to a market of 400 Million people, and the ability to draw on labour from the entire European Economic Area.
I know which I would choose
