@ucu.org.uk time for a FOI request to every university in the UK, I reckon.
Edinburgh Uni has paid ££££s to Nous Group to restructure their staff and curriculum. I suspect far more unis have been paying millions to Nous Group, for longer than we realise. A complete undermining of university governance & academic expertise & autonomy.

‘Nousferatu’: the notorious consultancy advising Edinburgh uni amid 'huge' cuts
Scotland’s largest university has turned to Nous Group at the same time as it is making savings that could lead to nearly 2,000 job losses. Staff say they were misled about the extent of its work.

What we're seeing is exactly what we saw in the late 1940s, the late 1960s and the mid- to late 1970s: a concerted and hysterical campaign to delegitimise a Labour government, and indeed the very idea of Labour governments at all.

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

Now it is time for a wealth tax, the richest have the broadest shoulders and should bear the heaviest burden, as we are always told.
But they pay the least tax.

It started for me playing ZORK (well COLOSSAL CAVE ADVENTURE) by teletype. Later, I learned how to write my own adventures in BASIC.
Then in 1985, I discovered D&D.
"What do you want to do with your life?" the age old school refrain went.
"Make RPG games," was my answer.
And I still do, today.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
