Higher education didn’t ‘find itself’ in a ’financial situation’. Smith speaks like the crisis happened naturally, without human agency. It has happened by choice, because of the decisions of this government & the ones before it. It’s her choices that keep the sector collapsing now.
Just as a footnote, I was struck by this daily @resprofnews.bsky.social newsletter by @chrisjparr.bsky.social on Friday which carries remarks from the Universities Minister Jacqui Smith that the humanities are ‘under attack’. Might follow up on that…

Over 100 people living in poverty are at dinner this evening under the Bernini Colonnade. A moment of sharing and celebration ahead of Christmas with those living in situations of fragility and who frequent the area of St. Peter's Square on a daily basis.

I'm not on board with several aspects of Polanski and the Green's strategic thinking, but as this intrerview with BoB indicates he is on NatSec a more nuanced and subtle operator than Corbyn ever was and won't be as easy for Starmer to sweep aside on these issues

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Overheard a Year 7 in the corridor boasting to his mate that when the teacher said "Good morning" to him, he 'hilariously' responded with "BAD morning".

I instantly thought "Ha! It's mini Paul Darrow!" but unless you listen to @wheezingpod.bsky.social this will mean absolutely nothing to you.

People should note that Voloshyn tried to disguise Gill’s bribes as ‘media payments’

Do we know how much Farage received for his regular appearance on RT/Russia Today around the time of Brexit?
Three more British MEPs in Nigel Farage’s bloc now alleged to have “followed the script” given to Nathan Gill by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors.

At least eight UKIP and Brexit Party MPs were focus of efforts by Nathan Gill

My friend's son was hit by a car whilst cycling yesterday outside Swindon. He is seriously injured. The car sped off and the police are looking for witnesses, particularly those with dashcams.
