Almost everyone who wanted that voted Reform so not sure where this alleged mandate comes from. Just stop being so shit and chuck some funding into education, health and social care, lads 😭
Asked if Keir Starmer believes British people want to "see refugee children pulled out of school and deported after 10 years in this country”, his spokesman says that “what the British public wants and what this government was elected on a mandate to deliver was to secure our borders"

Every migrant who arrives in Britain to study at a University brings in more foreign currency than we get by exporting a luxury car. Yet we are driving them away in order to appease the far right.
Labour concocts more ugly measures to punish asylum seekers and the right immediately demands worse… howling to leave the ECHR.
This scapegoating of migrants must stop. It is failure - morally and practically.
“Either we all have human rights or none of us do.”

This was not something I was ever expecting to see in an OfS strategy but I'm delighted to finally see some acknowledgement from The Powers That Be that universities are quite good, actually 🥺

I love it when the OfS publish a significant report about my research topic a month before a major deadline. Happened on my MA and now again on my EdD. I suppose at least I'm relevant 😅
