Business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg has resigned from 바카라사이트 Westminster government after Rishi Sunak became prime minister, ending his brief responsibility for research funding and energy policy.
Mr Rees-Mogg, appointed to 바카라사이트 post on 6 September, had been a supporter of former prime ministers Liz Truss and Boris Johnson, and had vocally called for 바카라사이트 latter to return after 바카라사이트 chaotic resignation of 바카라사이트 former.
The end of 바카라사이트 arch-Brexiteer’s spell in office could raise hopes for more active ministerial support of 바카라사이트 potential for UK association to Horizon Europe, 바카라사이트 European Union’s research programme.
Despite being secretary of state in 바카라사이트 Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Mr Rees-Mogg was seen as having a “laissez faire” ideology?unlikely to chime with industrial strategy?and using research spending to drive growth in 바카라사이트 regions.
Climate scientists also?expressed horror?at his appointment as 바카라사이트 secretary of state overseeing UK energy policy, warning that having Mr Rees-Mogg – who has repeatedly questioned 바카라사이트 scientific consensus behind climate change – would make it even harder to turn academic research into urgently needed policies.
The university and research sectors will hope his successor, yet to be announced by Mr Sunak, brings a more favourable climate on all fronts.
