Actually @therestpolitics.bsky.social, make that a topic of your conversation please: why is it so hard to make people outside of UK Higher Education see how dire and dangerous the structurally failing sector is? Local economies about to sink; R&D all but stagnated; education blandified.
Genuine question: how do we break through this? Some journalists are waking up but seeming can’t reach these parents (you’d think they’d be our most interested audience…)

Is it really all trying to get @therestpolitics.bsky.social to cover the structural issues with #UKHE? #SaveHE
Spoke to quite a few parents of uni-age young ppl yesterday. They were all asking me like 'what the hell's going on in HE' and e.g. 'where's my kid's tutor gone'. I explained a series of times. No-one had heard anything about the university crisis. (1/2)

With electrification so central to net-zero & delivering 60% of emissions cuts by 2040, top CCC recommendation is to make electricity prices cheaper

(Weirdly, most news coverage focused on low-carbon choices eg diet, despite the much greater role for other solutions)

Absolutely - it's outdoor PM2.5. I don't think there is data with decent coverage of indoor PM2.5 (I'd love to be wrong) but you're right: individual behavior inside the home (incl. cooking!) can lead to massive spikes.
