It’s impossible to put into words the craven irresponsibility of the wave of redundancies being announced across the U.K. higher education sector. Hundreds of academics have played by the rules, had their research exploited for REF, and then had their careers destroyed.

At the @policynetwork Next Left conference yesterday I talked up @martin_oneill and @joecguinan 's 'Institutional Turn' and the @IPPR 's Commission on Economic Justice report. Beyond the political battles there is informed, critical and constructive thinking happening on the left.

Woke up this morning to find that my book has been the subject of an lovely portrait in @La_Lettura , the cultural supplement of Italy most widely read newspaper Corriere della Sera, in a special feature on meritocracy. Huge thanks to @GioB1974 for being my ambassador in Italy!

Su @La_Lettura di oggi racconto Michael D. Young, colui che nel 1958 inventò la " #meritocrazia " come incubo futuribile (e oggi pericolosamente prossimo), ben lontano dall'ingenuo ideale in cui il termine è stato trasformato.

It’s never a bad time to remind everyone that Andrea Leadsom’s brother-in-law is billionaire hedge fund owner based in Jersey who has consistently supported and funded her political career and appointed her and her husband to positions in his companies
