@erinhengel @HigherEd_UK I might be if they were actually capable of doing it. But I don't think other organisations reward failure the way unis do

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@reformexposed It's going to make all sorts of things harder. I have one when I'm on safety duty for sailing. Eating food is going to be shit

@jackguestfilm @anon_opin What? Trump is terrible at running a country! He's a classic example of this theory in action

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@anon_opin The same applies in university management. The skills required to politic and get yourself promoted are completely unrelated to the task of running a good and effective university

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@Nufc__Tom @CraigHope_DM why?

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@LucienHeurtier Almost no promise in any manifesto is possible without qualified graduates. Want more teachers? - they need to qualify. Want more doctors? - they need education. Want to build infrastructure? - you need qualified engineers.

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@LucienHeurtier You think this government has a plan....for anything? There's absolutely no plan for universities other than for lots of them to collapse. Because no-one will acknowledge that higher education isn't an individual good but a public one.

@LionHeartBrit @Heccles94 The shadow home secretary is currently Chris Philip. The best he can be is Reform's home affairs spokesman

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@LionHeartBrit @Heccles94 Shadow positions are held by his majesty's opposition which is effectively decided by the leader of the largest non -government party (currently the conservative party). He's not in the shadow cabinet so he's not a shadow minister.

@GBPolitcs Desert island discs doesn't "ban" people. It just choses who to invite. Perhaps they've just decided they don't want him on to pick the Nazi songs he allegedly sung in school...

@anon_opin The main problem with python are how many competing libraries there are and packages you need to run anything. And then all the different versions. It's just generally a horrible experience.

It's main asset and the reason it's popular is that it's free

@drhingram @RupertLowe10 @elonmusk Lowe and Musk...common folk? 😂

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@21percentgroup Yes. We spent a fortune on a rebrand that is basically a few straight lines and a slogan that sounds like something on a mobile phone sim card. I much preferred the old one.

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@DavidWa28957772 @Emma_A_Webb Musk is a rich man who bankrolls companies because he was born rich enough to take those risks. He's not that intelligent really.

@swinburne_mark Pardew wasn't great but had very little to work with.

[Dan Boddice @DanBoddice]

@swinburne_mark Howe, Houghton and Rafa I think of positively I think. The others less so. Hated Souness and Bruce.

@_jaylawrence No-one can afford to retire? Companies aren't forward planning to develop from entry level roles?

@nufcmanna Wouldn't go as far as club legend at all. He's been ok and I don't have any ill will towards him
