Hugely important case this, with many dimensions not picked up here.
A compelling reminder that 1st-rate research is not the preserve of the Russell Group.
And writers of the recent post-16 education & skills White Paper need to read it to grasp the complexity of how university funding works. 3/3

It is excellent that the Conservatives are readopting a core principle of no retrospective changes.
It is a big policy change.
The media shouldn't collude in attempts to misinform the public that this was all some big misunderstanding while their policy hasn't changed

This is all very persuasive and yet, despite Brexit and Boaty-McBoatface, I still have faith in the citizens of the UK to find a solution better in practice and in principle than the current one. That may take a decades-long conversation but we should begin it.

This is even more true if the capital markets 'like' the budget and wobble at the possibility of it being unpicked.

Any thoughts on this Monbiot Guardian piece on a written UK constitution? Does the American experience suggest it would be little help? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation | Goerge Monbiot
It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
