Scientists, drugs, sackings, and resignations.
Nice of them to do it all while Neptune's stationary in Aquarius in the UK's 5th house (what people do for fun), semisquaring the UK's Sun (the leadership), opposite its Saturn (the government), and semisquare its MC (the government). A loss of authority, seeping away; scoring own goals.
As previously mentioned*, Neptune's station aspects the Labour party's Sun and the Ascendant of their 1997 'landslide' [sic] election win.
As the saying goes, 'the fish rots from the head'.
