Today is a landmark moment; obviously not just for PSIQuantum or for Daresbury Lab, but also for British science and innovation - which I am very proud to represent. The state-of-the-art facility that you're unveiling this afternoon is testament to the towering strengths of the UK's quantum sector. The fact that we rank amongst the fifth in the world is quite remarkable really. And we boast the largest number of quantum startups. More than any of our European counterparts. So, as you already said, many would define us as a science superpower but we as a government have a goal to make sure that we are judged that way by everybody by 2030.

The UK public rank among the lowest internationally for the importance they place on work, new data shows. Of 24 nations included in a study by the Policy Institute at King's College London, people in the UK emerge as the least likely to say work is important in their life, and among the least likely to say work should always come first, even if it means less leisure time. Correspondingly, the UK has one of the highest proportions of the population who think it would be a good thing if less importance were placed on work - and this has risen considerably since trends began in 1981.

The explosion of Elon Musk's Starship mega-rocket in April suggests commercial travel to the moon remains a distant prospect, but a Japanese university behind a new 'space agriculture centre' is more optimistic. Announcing a new research facility that aims to grow crops in space, Chiba University said it expects as many as 1,000 people will be living on the moon by the 2030s, the Mainichi newspaper reported. If such lunar outposts don't materialise, Chiba's focus on high-efficiency plant production won't be wasted, with scientists hoping their research will bring forward net zero farming here on planet Earth.
