It's easy to blame Corbyn, but frankly if people are still voting for the Conservatives after all the horrible shit they've done in the last 9 years & Johnson's lies, racism & xenophobia then what can you do? Perhaps we've underestimated the appetite for right wing nationalism.

This is a really depressing update for PhD students. Rather than acknowledge we've spent 9 months trying to work in a pandemic or offer guaranteed extensions, the UKRI solution is to "adjust your project". More pressure, less time, less funding, worse work. It's not good enough.
