Holyrood plans to toughen up its university oversight powers after Dundee posted a £30m deficit.
Meanwhile here, UU ran up a £160m debt on its unnecessary new campus but opposes independent scrutiny.
Why is NI the only part of these islands without proper university oversight?

[Garbhán Downey @Garbhan_D]

Stormont and UU haven’t the capacity to deliver cross-border university expansion on their own.
They need the political backing, financial backing and crucially, oversight, of the Irish and British governments.
We urgently need a new North-South body for Education on the island.

No mention of the Magee Expansion Plan by SoS @hilarybennmp in his answer yesterday.
If @NIOgov is already indicating the plan is dead, the British and Irish need to sit down to appoint commissioners immediately to deliver the independent NWU, as per the @RIAdawson blueprint.

Radio silence regarding Derry, are we really surprised

What a pleasure to meet with local author James Simpson and learn more about his debut novel True Colours ❤️

The story is set in our city and I can’t wait to read it and get his perspective on life in Derry!

The book is available now to buy here in the Guildhall

“I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all frighten people and secondly, demoralise them…An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern.”

~ Tony Benn

A reminder of an era where some of our politicians were genuine public servants.

Joe McLaughlin (Pennywise) was a cornerstone of the Rath Mor Centre - its first tenant and a loyal supporter of community enterprise for more than 30 years. He was a lovely man and will be badly missed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.

a right-wing host asks union leader Eddie Dempsey if workers are "being greedy" for going on strike for a pay rise. Here is his response:

Regional inequality is alive and well. Derry people's concerns were routinely dismissed. From the asset stripping of Magee to the abysmal infrastructure and lack of employment. Our children are leaving, never to return
