So what would a Reform-led 'populist' government do to 'fix' the crisis in #highered? @JanetIlieva joins me in a new blog looking at the new 'Tarnish Towers' report from @IGMansfield and co at @Policy_Exchange delacourcommunications.com/h… #universities
Good to see @AndyBurnhamGM joining the Lib-Dems, Greens and Reform UK in wanting to change voting system and replace 'First-Past-the-Post' with proportional representation in General Elections. Reasons in my blog - delacourcommunications.com/b…

Is the answer to the UK's #highered crisis re-inventing something like the Colleges of Advanced Technology (CATs) and leaving the Russell Group to concentrate on blue-sky research? @DelaCour_Comms @dianajbeech blog delacourcommunications.com/t…

University leaders are going to have to get off their high horse and start talking to the populists, whether on the left or right, as Nigel Farage and Reform UK could lead the next UK government as polls stand | Blog delacourcommunications.com/t…

Rubbish is building up right beneath my very nose,” says @AyoubKhanMP.

I just wish that Starmer would be a bit more political, and especially politically aware so he avoids the more obvious pitfalls. delacourcommunications.com/w…
