It’s definitely the cricket season when the announcement of the 2024 Summer General Election is delayed by the rain.

Let’s hope we start to see more influential voices making this case….policymakers need to realise quickly the huge damage they are about to inflict on the HE sector… Our universities are in peril. Scaring off foreign students won’t help

Without a strategy that supports our world leading higher education sector, policies like this will lead to university closures and many less places at our great universities for UK students. And this was his New Year's Day tweet......what a fool.

From today, the majority of foreign university students cannot bring family members to the UK.
In 2024, we’re already delivering for the British people.

This is one of the many different life changing ‘outcomes’ that policy makers need to consider when we think about the role of our great and diverse set of universities….University of Bradford tops list for social mobility for third year bbc.co.uk/news/education-671…

🗨️"Normally, world leaders are only too keen to extol the virtues of their world-leading institutions and industries, yet it is unfathomable why the UK Prime Minister is intent on talking down the very sector that can lift the nation up as we head into an uncertain future."

Big finish to this post and one he could maybe use again when reflecting on some of his own big decisions "I regret this decision and in years to come I suspect many will look back at today’s announcement and wonder how this once-in-a-generation opportunity was lost"

Today’s decision on HS2 is the wrong one. It will help to fuel the views of those who argue that we can no longer think or act for the long-term as a country; that we are heading in the wrong direction.
HS2 was about investing for the long-term, bringing the country together, ensuring a more balanced economy and delivering the Northern Powerhouse. We achieved historic, cross-party support, with extensive buy-in from city and local authority leaders across the Midlands and North of England. Today’s announcement throws away fifteen years of cross-party consensus, sustained over six administrations, and will make it much harder to build consensus for any future long-term projects.
All across the world, we see transformative, long-term infrastructure projects completed or underway. They show countries on the rise, building for future generations, thinking big and getting things done.
I regret this decision and in years to come I suspect many will look back at today’s announcement and wonder how this once-in-a-generation opportunity was lost.

Cricket really doesn’t help itself…@bbctms - the players are now going to spend possibly the only dry hour of the day eating. And the wait until 12.20 for the early lunch? Why? Are they making their own? Madness…..

We can have a debate about the quality of university courses. But the first question to a politician advocating fewer kids go to university is to ask them where they went/where their kids go/went. Too often they’re not talking about themselves or their kids, but someone else’s.
