It would be public service journalism to reveal which ministers and spads are personally responsible for the attack on both students and universities…how is 20k uni job losses fitting with growth agenda?

The best time for the government to quit X was August 2024, when its owner fuelled far right riots, the second best time is now.

Hope at least one minister asked McSweeney for EVIDENCE on the impact of his strategy of dog whistling to racists & why instead of EMPATHY he set out to deliberately antagonise centre/centre-left voters?? What has been the EMOTIONAL reaction to this strategy from Lab 24 voters?

This self harm - the loss of jobs, prestige, innovation, soft power - because of the β€˜genius’ McSweeney strategy of sucking up to Reform voters, racists & right wing newspapers…

None of whom will ever vote, like or endorse anything Lab does

A toxic brew of political cowardice and stupidity

This is Β£600m from the same university sector that is pretty close to collapse in a growing number of major institutions?

Many of them universities that are among the biggest employers in the very β€˜left behind’ towns and cities that Labour talks so much about…

Genuine q - In pol journo work could anyone ask gov…where exactly did that policy come from? WHO proposed it? Guessing they would never respond to that
The tax on int students is crazy…just wish there could be some accountability

Blue Labour attacks on universities continue

One of Britain’s biggest success stories must suffer cos…you know…the 20% of voters who hate all foreigners, vote reform, will never vote Labour…but the govt priority is to place their prejudices over the national interest

You have a tax on international students, you have less of them, huh, you have less revenue, and whoopsdaisy, you're back to the taxes you didn't want to hike and everyone is cross.

I left Twitter in 2015 ten years ago because of the scale of threats, abuse, cyber-stalking I received & the real world impact it had on me personally & professionally. Under Musk X is worse. He is a foreign hostile actor, interferes in our democracy, incites violence. Gov should be bold & abandon X

While doubtful Starmer knew this was being done, surely no doubt McSweeney knew - and approved - how on earth is he still in employment?

The first of what we can hope will be many legal victories for the music industry in its fight against the AI pirates. A Munich court ruled that OpenAI had breached copyright law and was liable to be sued for damages for appropriating content without authorisation.

BBC board member with Tory links β€˜led charge’ in systemic bias claims, say insiders Sources say Robbie Gibb amplified criticisms of Trump, Gaza and trans rights coverage, and had β€˜a lot of oxygen in the room’

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...
