Re the contribution of politics,
an exacerbating factor is:
Gove’s removed 1:1 career guidance in-school , & that’s never been restored for all students.
YP used to see a careers advisor in Year 11, 12, +, to help them understand how to enter the working world.

Agree that it’s hard to see any other motive for #ElonMusk buying #Twitter than wanting, at the least, to influence the public discourse.
And we have evidence of what his angle would be.

Thank you as ever for standing for sanity.
Can you point out that the foamers try to elide being ‘left’ with being concerned about probity, legality, justice &human rights.
