A test of whether your university is still a university: Has a department been targeted for closure solely due to lack of student recruitment? If so, this is no longer a university. It is an "HE provider" that sells degrees and creates and cuts instructional units accordingly.

Not only that but they weren't planning on paying it all this year anyway. £900 in August and the rest in March 2025. Thanks UCEA

Who USS in 2017 thought this was a sound investment opportunity? "Thames Water has repeatedly said that it has not paid dividends to its shareholders since 2017". My pension investment down the 🚽 with all the other 💩

Labour’s claiming the economy could have crashed if winter fuel payments for pensioners weren't cut. This is absurd. They might as well have claimed the markets would have crashed if Rachel Reeves had walked on the cracks in the pavement. The claim really is that stupid.

In the UK, people who raise Just Stop Oil banners are terrorists, people who try to stop a genocide are terrorists, but people who fly across the Mediterranean to participate in a genocide and then fly back home are not terrorists. Everything is upside down, isn't it?

We were on the side of the road (at High Bradfield) and I am so sad that I will miss this on Thursday as I will be on my way to the airport from my holidays (not sad about that of course 😎).

Certainly worth a read. It's well known how UK HE is so dependant on international students but so to is the wider economy in University towns and cities.

From Cleverly's launch this week. It's telling that even this week, the Tory leadership candidates have been celebrating deregulation without the slightest introspection.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to meet chancellor Reeves ahead of the Budget. Agenda - more privileges for banks/corporations. How easily can hungry children, freezing pensioners, poorer households meet ministers to demand change. Corporations Rule, Not OK. archive.ph/Fa4pC
