@bphillipsonMP If university funding drops in real terms, then it's not really surprising that some of this behaviour has followed. It's awful, but entirely rational.

Rogue operators have treated students as a route to fast cash, not people investing in their future. Those days are over. If you use public money, you'll face proper scrutiny. We're restoring universities as engines of aspiration, opportunity and growth. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

At what point do Starmer, the Tory advisors he's surrounded himself with, and his cabinet of cowards look at the polls and realise that keeping Daily Mail readers' obsessions and talking points in the headlines every day has been a fucking disaster?

@McDowellWallace Nice for a change to be baffled by Australian selectors.

@JDS_Adam So true. With Cummins and Hazlewood out, Starc doing much heavy lifting. Also a poor decision to drop Lyon

Uncharacteristically generous of Australia to pick a bowler as ordinary as Doggett to try to coax Root to his maiden century in Australia

@RECNeil Richard Bath writes of Sisyphus: "His work rate was immense. At times it seemed he could continue for eternity. Despite his immense upper body strength, his ball handling skills repeatedly deserted him at crucial moments"

Sisyphus had nothing on us having to play Ireland at every World Cup ever, for all time.

As a disabled person, I aspire to be the person the DWP think I am.

@ucu Strangely the "Choose Derby" advert I saw on a bus today didn't mention any of this.

Derby University is in chaos and management caused it. 🔻 265 redundancies proposed 🔻 Nursing & early childhood studies at risk 🔻 Senior expertise being hollowed out 🔻 Staff pushed through a rushed, unfair process This is mismanagement, not inevitability. Show your support for staff and students on strike from tomorrow. thecanary.co/long-read/2025…

And of course it's cheaper than therapy which is about 60 quid an hour.

Thinking of starting a podcast called "They F***ed me over". The basic premise is that I'd invite people on to talk about their experiences of egregious management excess. Obviously it would have to be people who rejected the NDA.

“The crisis in our universities has all the hallmarks of a test case for Labour’s commitment to a ‘decade of national renewal’. There is nothing sensible or pragmatic about sitting on the sidelines while our last world-leading sector crashes and burns.” politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

The beautifully located village of Arrochar, standing at the head of Loch Long in Argyll & Bute. It's been popular with visitors since steamers arrived on the Clyde in the early 1800. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/arrochar/arroc…
