Thinks about literature, and occasionally even writes about it. Also dogs and Doctor Who.

Like much of what this government does, this reads as bullish but is entirely motivated by cowardice. They can see the sector cracking, they have not the first clue what to do, so they're preparing a narrative to absolve themselves from responsibility. Was British steel financially mismanaged?

Universities contribute £265bn and employ nearly 400k, over 10x as much.
