#KemiBadenoch says the #Tories will shut down useless courses (surprise, surprise); she adds she learnt more in her apprenticeship than in her degree (FAO #SussexUniversity). NB. They were in power for 14 years. If they get 10% at the next election it'll be a miracle #ToryConference

Solidarity with the ordinary people of Iran who, in addition to their domestic problems, now have to deal with their country being bombed. I supposed MAGA now means doing Netanyahu’s bidding.

Don’t agree with all of this, but this is spot on: “In a liberal democracy that aspires to be an open society, should the State…ever be allowed to decide these delicate issues, particularly with regard to academic freedom, in the process invading & inevitably reducing the autonomy of universities?”
Punchy @hepi-news.bsky.social blog by Peter Scott drawing a link between OfS Sussex free speech investigation and Trump's "war on woke" in US universities. On the latter: "Now we have been shown the future, and it stinks. Do we really want to go there?" www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/04/24/t...
The OfS's fine on Sussex is a blow against free speech, not for it - HEPI
The OfS’s Sussex ruling exposes the politicisation of free speech regulation and the erosion of university autonomy.
