Raiding university finances when dozens of institutions are already imposing devastating cuts, departmental closures & redundancies would be utterly ruinous for a sector in which the UK is world-renowned. For Reeves to even contemplate it confirms she's incompetent & desperately out of her depth.
For more than a decade now the government’s answer to how to fund universities has been to make money from overseas students.
The last lot then tried to discourage students from coming here.
This lot just want the money back.
But then how do we fund ourselves?
Crazy.
