Absolutely the situation here. The 3 out of 12 people who survive (we find out next week, probably) will be faced with teaching departing colleagues’ modules or finding and supporting underpaid hourly staff to do so in 3 weeks’ time. It can’t go well for anyone at all.

Cause and effect: Republicans in Congress voted last summer to cut food stamp budgets by nearly $200 billion. Now more children and families are going hungry in America.
On the left: A NYT headline from May 2025, saying "Millions could lose food stamp benefits under Republican bill." On the right, a story from this week with the headline: Faced with Mounds of Paperwork, People are Losing Food Stamps.

🚨 New research out today: Industrial strategy revamp needed after UK loses £74 billion worth of goods exports since Brexit. Ten years from the EU referendum, this report examines the UK’s poor recent record on trade and how to avoid repeating this over the next decade. Read it 👉 buff.ly/yjP7R6Z
graphic of quote tweet: Sophie Hale, Research Director, said: 
“The tenth anniversary of the EU referendum offers a timely opportunity to assess Britain’s post-Brexit trade performance. The prognosis is not good. The UK has lost around a fifth of its share of goods exports, a far worse performance than any of our competitors, with firms missing out on £74 billion worth of trade.
“But rather than relitigating the past, we should focus on securing a better future for these damaged sectors of our economy. The Government should revamp its industrial strategy and sharpen its focus on the sectors that retain strengths like pharmaceuticals and aero-engineering.
“Securing better export opportunities in these sectors is going to require closer alignment with the EU to bring British firms back into complex supply chains. Taking this hard-headed approach will require careful negotiation. But the benefits for firms, jobs and the wider economy will make those hard yards worth the effort.”
