Have a wee think about why the right wing press continually attack media studies degrees. It’s pretty clear, isn’t it.

On the Sunday Times front page: Our revelation that vice-chancellors have already tried to axe over 15,000 staff.

Despite this, Labour wants to reduce university income.

It cannot continue. HE members, when your ballot arrives: Vote YES‼️

The Guardian view on the nationalist surge: the SNP and Plaid Cymru are making the political weather | Editorial Editorial: In both Scotland and Wales, politics is marching to the beat of different drums from the rest of Britain. The UK-wide parties should watch out

At what point are we all going to stop wanging an about ‘Britishness’ and accept that the whole concept is way too tarnished by imperialism to have any relevance any more?

This is an anti-fascist account. I’m also a writer, creative practitioner and academic. Can we be friends, please?

This is nothing short of barbarism.

Oh look! A couple of middle-aged white men stirring up division. 🙄

Not to mention performing arts! The UK has some of the best talent in the world in film and TV. Not just actors but producers, lighting, ADs, makeup, costume, casting. High-end production companies come from around the world to make stuff here. Performing arts is a *massive industry for Britain*.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Support for Brexit drops to laughable low - with just 11% seeing it as a success Ah well, at least our passports are blue again. Unfortunately, not many Brits are feeling buoyed by our supposed 'Brexit benefits'.

Brexit, a tragic mistake which has been bad for our politics as well as for our economy. Not sure ‘laughable’ is the right word.

Luka Vuskovic is already adored at Hamburg – the Tottenham loanee seems worth the hype The 18-year-old defender's name has been printed on more than 1,000 shirts and his performances have been increasingly impressive

Tottenham's Luka Vuskovic is already adored in Hamburg. The special circumstances guaranteed that would be the case.

He's also really, really good.

I’m beginning to think we need a political party made up of ex-professional footballers called Gary. We might end up in a better place. (Stans can join too).

There are plenty more like Graham.

Six-figure salaries at the top, cuts and chaos for staff.

We’re exposing the hypocrisy in higher education.

Pay at Kent has remained pretty much static for some years now because of the financial problems.
When will UK government realise HE desperately needs support?

Grade deflation, overcrowding and ‘chaos’ as colleges scr... Russell group hoovers up international students to stave off budget deficit fears

In a time of hate and rancour, two Jews sought to pray – and were killed. Let Manchester be a turning point | Jonathan Freedland This was a horror but with so much intolerance and antisemitism, no one can say it was a surprise. There are lessons to learn, and that must start now, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Fantastically thoughtful piece here on the recent horrors in Manchester. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s Kanelbullens Dag, that’s to say, Cinnamon Bun Day in Sweden. And while I mean no disrespect to Norway and Iceland, who also mark this day, it’s Swedish Cinnamon Buns that are #RecipeOfTheDay!
