Many long-standing colleagues of mine, like myself, jumped at the chance to leave their employment at UK universities. A number of long-running factors influenced these decisions, and many have come to the fore in recent weeks. They have been on public display in the strike action that affected many courses recently.

One of the lasting impressions of the 2019 General Election is the extent to which news organisations have been biased against the Labour Party and its policies. One report from researchers at Loughborough University found that “British newspapers were half as critical of the Conservative Party in this month’s election as they were in the […]
