5000 jobs set to be lost in UKHE in this year alone. 10,000s already lost since Covid-19, the sector on its knees. Yet the UKHE story dominating the Guardian's reporting is the psychodrama at Cambridge. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Like much of what this government does, this reads as bullish but is entirely motivated by cowardice. They can see the sector cracking, they have not the first clue what to do, so they're preparing a narrative to absolve themselves from responsibility. Was British steel financially mismanaged?

The UK car industry contributes £22bn to the economy and employs c 35k people. Universities contribute £265bn and employ nearly 400k, over 10x as much. Yet he seems ok to let that sector implode.
