@gsoh31.bsky.socialBritain's ultra-Far Left have always been, and will always be, only that which they are:
@gsoh31.bsky.socialJust re-upping this, for no particular reason at all. The Greens have got an essential role to play in the battle for the climate and equality. If they carry on like this they are going to get eaten alive from within. Snap out of it now, Greens! For everyone's sake.
@gsoh31.bsky.socialI'm quoted in (and provide the headline for) this @timeshighered.bsky.social university story today. To be honest the news and messages coming from across UK Higher Ed are now so desperate, pressing and upsetting that I've stepped away a bit.

@gsoh31.bsky.socialCos they left the question mark off the first proofs of the cover.

@gsoh31.bsky.socialIt's the Welsh universities that are by far the deepest in the mire. As presently constituted they simply have no chance. I wouldn't even know where to start now. Very sad and very stupid.

@gsoh31.bsky.socialIt is genuinely fascinating working in the midst of a true Public Policy Disaster and seeing it from the inside, but y'know... I'd rather not?
