If I may … it isn’t that some Depts aren’t well run, but rather that their costs far exceed the £9,500 fees. This is because they are burning their way through chemicals, physical materials, test tubes etc.
The actual cost for some courses is near £12,000-15,000, so each student adds to the debt.

Labour will lose the next GE.
Q: Who customarily votes left of centre?
A: Middle class people who work in the NHS, local/national civil service and universities.
Labour are destroying all of those.

Too late, I fear Glen. With #universities, the #NHS, the #CivilService and local #governments getting cuts and culls like there is no tomorrow, will these once loyal #Labour #voters still turnout for them? Possibly not ... They might defect to the #Greens, #LibDems or abstain ...

I’m really sorry that #TheOrangeTrumpet is trashing your country. I was looking forward to visiting the USA this fall, but am now unlikely to. ☹️
