#AndyBurnham is a Lab leader who gets this and with a coherent renewal agenda IMO: ‘When I stood under PR for Mayor I found myself on doorsteps not pointing scoring but looking for points of agreement because you’re after that second vote’. @bobhudson.bsky.social youtube.com/live/xAPe461...

Universities need “radical” reform if they are to make the most out of policy changes, including the Lifelong Learning Entitlement, the former Open University vice-chancellor has claimed. Juliette Rowsell reports #EduSky #HigherEd https://ow.ly/xyi950YrY3a

BBC Radio 5 Live this morning had Bowers & Jones in the English Midlands on who make tools for the steel industry. Brexit has disrupted their supplies, hit their exports, added costs and it’s getting worse not better. Yet this is on a specialist show at 5.30am not the 10pm evening TV news. Why not?

Much to heed in this excellent report on the UK’s social sciences, from graduates earning at similar levels to other sciences, engineering & tech, to the damaging and unnecessary ban on social science R&D from business tax relief. #socialsciences #policy #appliedresearch #AcademyofSocialSciences

I was motivated to write this report by my grandchildren. We must transition to a sustainable economy but action is compromised by disinformation. Higher education is essential to sustainability & trusted knowledge but needs to do things differently. #highereducation #sustainability #disinformation

Happy 99th Birthday to our President, the legendary Sir David Attenborough 🎂🦋 Thank you for being an inspiration to millions across the globe.

My first comment piece in @theguardian.com is on a topic very close to my heart; the threat that the #ClimateCrisis poses to my local community in South Wales. Here's a thread with a few extra thoughts from me 🧵

Report here on how to bring the public along with action to stop the planet heating. But it underplays the very real financial cost of the transition. I recommend dieterhelm.co.uk/helm-talks/p... on this.

Had no idea how radically different industrial pricing worked before reading the recent Dieter Helm piece. Not *that* long ago but must have looked almost alien to British policymakers/thinkers by the mid 1990s.
