I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…
And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say
…funny that.

Anticipate huge rent hikes, in an era of critical housing shortages caused by a long history of government failures to build affordable housing and regulate the market's luxury shift. Just another profitable cart on the gravy train, so doubt change will be forthcoming.

UK graduates earn less not because universities fail, but due to stagnant wages, regional inequality, and cultural shifts in employer expectations. As has been noted in comments, the problem is structural - economic renewal and skills ecosystems should be the focus, not blaming higher education.
