We’re pleased that Lord David Willetts, Chair of the UK Space Agency, has lent his support to the report and its conclusions.

In his foreword, he writes ⬇️

Drawing on a series of discussions with leading experts in R&D, space, AI and quantum, we suggest a range of actions the government can take ⬇️

Productivity has flatlined across the UK since the financial crisis, costing the economy tens of billions a year.

If govt is serious about raising both growth and living standards – the mission on which its success depends – it must deliver a step change in productivity growth.

So, What do we do? Organise/campaign/vote. Yes. All important things. But we need more.

I think this is a time we need more debate and speaking up by those in the decent, reasonable, silent political majority to speak up, to push back when they see and hear this narrative. ✊🏾

4. Trump's proposed plan of turning Gaza into a billionaire's riviera is nothing short of proposing a form of ethnic cleansing and annexation for the US. We may disagree on the rights and wrongs of the destruction of Gaza (even though I believe that's a stretch) but this is craven land grabbing

3. The fact that the courts are acting as a check and balance and stopping said unconstitutional action is met by the Vice President and Musk claiming there's no such thing as checks and balances is an attempt to legitimize autocracy.

2. We have an unelected, unhinged megalomaniac being a modern day Rasputin. Musk and DOGE killing USAID budgets and attempting to snatch payment data from the Treasury is literally 'taking names'.

1. Blaming DEI for plane crashes and forcing companies to abandon their programmes is nothing more than a loyalty test to see what else they can do to erode society.

🗣️ Promote open engagement from members of the community in the civic and cultural life of the Square Mile

Establishing this network has been my pipe dream. I hope it's a space for a richly diverse Muslim #SquareMile community to enrich each other as well as engaging in our shared #civic space. Now more than ever, I think #communities need a space to be seen and heard throughout all parts of society.
