Will Universities UK call for EU students to pay home fees? Will the Russell Group? Will some institution support the ideals of education and intellectual exchange over the latest short-term money grab? It's 20 years of "realism" that have got us into this mess. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In every generation, some people are rich and some people are poor; some have made money by exploiting others, and others have been exploited. No one on the Left should accept the idea of "generational fairness"; that's a false division, obscuring the real ones. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The OFS is a joke, with ZERO credibility. But it's a sick joke, and this is just a fraction of the damage it is doing to HE in the UK. They have no authority to "regulate" us, because they have no understanding of what we do, or what universities are for. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Friends in UK HE: as global stock markets crash, reflect on how changes to our pensions mean that WE take the hit for this in the rather large "DC" portion of our benefits. And dwell on this fact next time your line manager asks you to "go the extra mile."

And.....the OFS, with Labour's full backing, launches a Trump-style "culture wars" attack on UK universities in general and our trans community in particular. Love and support to trans students and colleagues. The OFS wants "free speech? Let's give them some! www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Sorry, Labour, but this can be fixed by "throwing money at the problem." And you know very well the UK has more than enough money to do this. Labour, why are you so useless? Tax the rich! www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The racist German state refuses to distinguish between the state of Israel and Jews, in an astonishing form of essentialism which is, well, in keeping with the worst moments of German history, and repeats anti-Semitism in a new form, while claiming to oppose it. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
