Superb news! The £2 bus fare cap is being reinstated. But 1 in 5 rural and county bus routes have been cut since 2019. Communities also need proper funding and public ownership of buses. Let's keep all the cash in the system, not going out into shareholder pockets. @heidialexander.bsky.social

#1 Following on from my earlier thread about claims of “bias” in universities (link below 👇), I was struck by James Marriott’s column in today’s Times. It’s full of anecdote & caricature. The real story of UK universities is structural, financial, and political. 🧵 👉 bsky.app/profile/prof...

Jonathan Potter@profjonathanpotter.bsky.social · last yr.

Listening to Rest is Politics, Rest is Politics US, and reading respected commentators, it's striking how 'left-wing bias' in universities is now taken for granted. That matters, especially in the US, where academia faces political attack. Thoughts from having worked in US/UK universities. 🧵
