Research has an economic return multiplier >1. So taxes don't even really pay for research. Research more than pays for itself, the taxes are just used to kick-start the positive economic cycle. The more money invested in research, the better the economy.

Since we joined the civil service a while back it's been really eye opening to see the waste in spending. Endless efficiency drives and tracking/monitoring just creates more costs than it saves. The worry about PS fraud drives up costs massively

I stand by every word. JK Rowling's war on trans people has terrifying consequences for trans people, profoundly negative ones for all women cis or trans who don't conform to gender norms, and ignores the real problems all women face.
Still, it delights the Far Right: there is that.
