Let me get this straight: University is a con because the UK doesn’t produce enough graduate jobs. Sounds to me like it’s UK economy that’s been exposed here.

‘You’ve enabled a once great institution to be asset-stripped by little more than thugs in suits.’ Alan Bates is speaking of the Post Office, but this could equally be applied to the UK as a whole, 1980-present.

A million people have now watched this video of workers at the TESLA strike responding to Elon Musk.

There's probably a reason David Cameron (Eton), George Osborne (St Paul's), Boris Johnson (Eton) and Rishi Sunak (Winchester) wanted to scrap the Sure Start programme for disadvantaged kids, but I just can't think of it right now

Students aren't being fully informed by managers because managers know fully well that a well-informed student body is force to be reckoned with.

How many MPs have said something about their local uni? They're anchor institutions, employing locals, commissioning local contractors, supporting local hospitality and shops.

Aren't MPs worried about their local uni's downward spiral affecting the rest of the constituency?

Watched #Defiance Fighting the Far Right ep 1. It is amazing, powerful & really important. It needs to be watched and added to the curriculum. I will definitely be using it in my module on racism and the far right next year.

Congratulations Rajesh Thind and everyone involved.

Academics and politicians are calling for a UK government-funded scheme, originally designed for Ukrainian scholars, to be “urgently” expanded to Palestinians

Water, gas, electricity, National Grid, prisons, rail, and airports; every major Tory privatisation is a proven failure. The very idea of extending NHS privatisation is completely bonkers.

The very people and parties who destroyed FE and the apprenticeship system are the same people who always rant about who important they are as opposed to universities. While doing the same thing to universities.

Quite. Too often being 'world-beating' simply involves beating up your staff (figuratively, of course...for now).

Yeah, that and a ruling elite and right-wing media who may have done very well out of such subjects, thank you, but don't see the need to let proles and plebs do so too, or have the chance to develop the critical thinking to see through their class-ist hypocrisy.

When did 'managing' someone - ideally, to support and guide, and help them grow - become making someone 'manage' - get by and cope with less time, fewer resources, and more stress?

Who says there isn't a playbook?
