💨 Abstract

The National Audit Office (NAO) criticized UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) for poor spending practices and lack of clear direction. UKRI, which allocates over £9bn in taxpayer funds, has been investing in controversial projects like "queer animals" and "pro-trans robots." The NAO found that UKRI lacks measurable objectives and effective data systems, which hinder progress tracking.
