In a forthcoming speech at the Liberal Democrat conference, Sir Ed Davey will advocate for discount visas for US cancer researchers affected by the Trump administration’s recent cancelation of research funding. He argues that the UK should fill the void left by Trump’s “anti-science agenda” and support scientists seeking to escape it. The US government has slashed billions from biomedical research grants, which has been criticized by experts as damaging to cancer research progress. Sir Ed’s speech will also critique Nigel Farage and others for applauding the reduction in funding for crucial vaccine research, emphasizing the risks posed to public health. He has intensified his criticism of both Trump and Elon Musk, calling for accountability over concerns about Musk inciting violence. The Lib Dems aim to present themselves as true patriots, countering Farage’s influence and focusing on policy issues like social care as they gear up for local elections.
