This is why working at a student union like @MiddlesexSU at a university like @MiddlesexUni is the most rewarding job in the world! #proud https://t.co/cjuVwWA6v5
Final political tweet from me before a week of AL (and probably a week away from this addictive hellhole of a website…)
Basically any governing party in 2024 is standing on a burning platform, almost irrespective of politics or policies…
It might not be any deeper than that
The Telegraph reports on new data I've obtained, showing that nearly a million graduates have never earned enough to repay any of their student loans. They list seven institutions where a third have never made a repayment. (1/2)

Much smarter people than me are putting forward detailed analysis of what’s happening in politics
But basically isn’t it just that whichever party has been in power (right, left or centre, whatever country) for the period of post Covid CoL/inflation then gets absolutely waxed???
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
The only credible response from the U.K. to whatever is about to happen in the US probably involves being prepared to bankrupt ourselves supporting Ukraine and much much closer ties to the EU…
Wish I had confidence in our politics to do what’s necessary…
