Oh, I see we’re revisiting the old classics.🙄 “Let’s cut down on managers in the NHS” Why is this such a popular attack line? Just the smallest amount of critical thinking will show what a nonsensical idea this is…. A little🧵 for you! 1/8

So if you shrink the international students who come to Teesside Uni, it’s not just those international numbers that fall. It’s also: - local students - public services - local industry - graduate labour market that is affected. You can’t separate them.

What a rude man. From the school of thought that if you interrupt enough and speak loudly enough you must be right.

When you want a “national conversation” about unis, you first seek to do as much damage to them as possible. And if a few places lose their institutions then that’s the schumpeterian price. For a nominally centre-right think tank, @ukonward have lost their way recently.

Remarkably bad grace from a lot of Tory MPs today on the MAC review. The govt set the terms of reference. The govt set the timetable. The govt provided the data. If it comes back with answers to your questions that you don’t like, you don’t claim foul and shout at the ref.

“Freeports are effective as convenors of place-based R&D - but that doesn't mean they are necessary” Interesting piece by ⁦@James_Coe1⁩ in @wonkhe - altho I think the convening power of govt + £ shouldn’t be underestimated. Example of this below ⬇️ wonkhe.com/blogs/freeports-a…
