obviously apprenticeship truthers and Engineering supremacists all have their opinions but I want some truly out of the box takes

I'd rather a bunch of career public sector middle managers than a party ran by a bunch of big 4 grad schemers whose only other experience is SU politics.

Also, the drop off in academics going into electoral politics given the amount this country pumps out is rather concerning.

Spent half an hour on LinkedIn and the consensus seems to be: a lot

Question I'm raising is the repercussions for future balance in terms of party leadership preference

My US professor said a few weeks back he reckoned things will calm down financially and there won't be another bond market meltdown and I can't help but feel he's speaking too soon.

Yeah this one's on me.

My bad forgot the dynamics of how wallet inspecting works in this country, won't happen again

This is where Reeves' intransigence regarding significantly changing how this country is governed financially is actually going to clash with the plans Cooper has for changing the labour make-up and it won't be the first time (see EU mobility).

I said almost a year ago that a complete unwillingness of the mainstream political parties to have serious discussions about how we fund higher education in this country would cost *all* of us in the long term. It seems this is about to become readily apparent.

"we're gonna reduce immigration and train up our domestic workforce" ok but you can't train a workforce if half your unis are shutting down as a result of these policies.

Also they are woefully misinterpreting the mood on the welfare cuts but reversing WFA and not easing up on PiP or the two child cap is unambiguously the worst possible way to go about it.

Might be a bit too on the nose however to do policy based on the guy who hasn't been relevant politically for almost two decades.
