This is a poor analogy. The UK HE sector isn't about to be *entirely wiped out* like steel was a few weeks ago. And in a time of war, we can't always rely on international markets for critical goods for defence industries like steel.

Love to see the Tories fall into the trap of making wealthy landowners and private schools their two main target demographics. Centre ground well and truly vacated. #pmqs
