What is wrong with these people, seriously

Can we not direct research funding for party political purposes, come on

I took the K-12 student certification to see how it works. Sample question.

1950s UK governments still assumed that shipyards along the Clyde would always be worldbeating without thinking much about how a changing global economy might affect them.

the thing that scares me about Labour HE policy is that because I work in the sector I can see how absolutely insane it is, which makes me wonder just how terrible their policies are in all the other sectors I’m in less of a position to engage with critically out of lack of knowledge.

Alongside mooted restrictions on salary sacrifice - which universities make a lot of use of to pay for pensions - this is not shaping up to be a great budget for a sector already mired in cutbacks and redundancies.

Not to mention that university bankruptcies would be disastrous for local economies in ways that would cost the state far more than they'll make from this

Just a very dumb, very shortsighted policy. So bad

If you keep pushing international students away then you will force (particularly non-RG) university bankruptcies, - thereby undermining opportunities for the disadvantaged UK students you claim to be helping with this policy - unless you step in and pay even more to bail them out

Reeves to unveil plan to shoot own foot

If you think this is something the news should focus more on then you as UK Editor of ITV News could simply do that

Sympathetic to the fact that lots of very newsworthy things happen very quickly these days, but it is a bit odd that the UK Editor of ITV news says this as if he is simply an observer of the news cycle and not a participant in it

Grand opening, grand closing.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Looking the financial indices out of the UK and apologies if this has ever come up before, but have they considered reviving the economy by joining a large economic and political consortium of countries nearby, say in Europe?

Zorgen in de Tweede Kamer over Amerikaanse overname van DigiD-partner Het van oorsprong Nederlandse cloud-bedrijf Solvinity komt mogelijk in Amerikaanse handen.

The Netherlands talks a big game about tech sovereignty, but is now about to allow the domestic cloud provider that underpins its national digital identity system and several other critical government services to be sold off to a new American owner.

Incomprehensible.

"Do you think the plebs should get a jury trial" is such a thrilling line from Labour, truly great to see this

In April, I wondered what a trans toilet ban might look like in practice. Trans people and their cis women allies have been sounding these alarms for years. It now seems clear that the UK government took all these dire warnings as policy proposals.

Trans-exclusionary and “gender critical” takes are extremely prevalent in the British media. So I wrote this with the assumption that many readers might not realise that such views are seen as fringe and extreme by the vast majority of feminists outside the UK (and by many within the UK too).

I suspect they're delaying it because its mental and unworkable - and is clearly aimed at the exclusion of trans, and gender conforming people, from society.

The problem here is not people pointing out that Tommy Robinson supports your policies, it's having policies that Tommy Robinson would support

Vote Labour

Headline: BLING STING Small boat migrants to have jewellery & assets seized to pay for accommodation as part of Home Sec's arrivals crackdown The curbs would also target thousands of asylum seekers in hotels who first came to Britain legally and own assets such as cars

Desperate people forced to risk their lives to escape war and persecution - let's rob them of all they've got left!

This is the sick thinking of human traffickers, not decent governments.

Grotesque

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

Using the phrase "golden ticket" for people fleeing war and persecution is obscene. I hope Mahmood never sleeps soundly again

Labour's campaign to elect Reform continues apace
