the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

Glad to see student-loan unfairness continuing to get mainstream attention. Good piece by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social. Pity about the concluding misunderstanding, which repeats popular myths. (Semesters just organise the same 24 wks into 2 terms & most unis are increasing not reducing teaching time.)

Devastatingly sad. Every Labour MP should be forced to read this. In fact, every MP, who rushed back to Parliament to vote to save one steel mill, whilst hastening the collapse of dozens of universities - and harming the students, staff, communities and economies universities sustain and support

If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city like Southend loses its university? Loss of education, reskilling, social mobility, exports, contribution to local economy and hope. 40-45% of universities in crisis, caused by govt policies.

When Essex University’s Southend campus opened, it was a message of hope for a ‘left behind’ UK seaside town. Its closure will be felt far beyond its 800 students, some of whom will not get their degr...
