Will

obviously apprenticeship truthers and Engineering supremacists all have their opinions but I want some truly out of the box takes

So do we think generative AI will make degrees more or less relevant for white collar jobs

Job's pre interview screening wants me to do a cognitive assessment bro I'm so screwed.

I'd rather a bunch of career public sector middle managers than a party ran by a bunch of big 4 grad schemers whose only other experience is SU politics.

Also, the drop off in academics going into electoral politics given the amount this country pumps out is rather concerning.

Spent half an hour on LinkedIn and the consensus seems to be: a lot

Question I'm raising is the repercussions for future balance in terms of party leadership preference

How many of the 2024 labour intake are grad consultants straight from uni do we reckon?

So is the balloon festival actually happening this year in London?

Lord why is it 17 whole degrees and raining

My US professor said a few weeks back he reckoned things will calm down financially and there won't be another bond market meltdown and I can't help but feel he's speaking too soon.

Binging slow horses right now after uni and it is very funny at least.

So wait did Biden hide his health condition from other higher ups in the party and Congress up until the point he thought it'd be too late to replace him, told them "what are you gonna do, coup me?" only for them to do exactly that anyway?

One question I'm interested in British political economy is what happens to the pro-housing voter coalition if/when property prices ever do go down in London in regards to leveraged households and I think the answer is "not good things"

Yeah this one's on me.

My bad forgot the dynamics of how wallet inspecting works in this country, won't happen again

It wouldn't be perfect by any stretch but one of the quickest ways you could improve cost of living for young people without significantly changing the Britain's political economy is by shifting the obligation to pay council tax from the tenant of a property to a landlord.

This is where Reeves' intransigence regarding significantly changing how this country is governed financially is actually going to clash with the plans Cooper has for changing the labour make-up and it won't be the first time (see EU mobility).

I said almost a year ago that a complete unwillingness of the mainstream political parties to have serious discussions about how we fund higher education in this country would cost *all* of us in the long term. It seems this is about to become readily apparent.

I'm all for increasing non-degree qualifications it's just people seem to believe the first step to that is blowing up half the higher education sector, a platform that is probably best geographically distributed and equipped to deal with this sort of thing.

"we're gonna reduce immigration and train up our domestic workforce" ok but you can't train a workforce if half your unis are shutting down as a result of these policies.

I'd have far more faith in the government's plan to reduce certain sector's dependence on foreign labour if it's new immigration plan didn't implicitly admit they plan on sacrificing the education sector in order to achieve an arbitrary and unspecified number of fewer arrivals.

Potentially funny outcome of a mass Tory/Labour defection to Reform would be an effect similar to what Sahra Wagenknecht's bloc did taking all of the crazies out of the left in Germany

The library is unfortunately; overrun by undergrads so I need better places to study in central London, any suggestions

Also they are woefully misinterpreting the mood on the welfare cuts but reversing WFA and not easing up on PiP or the two child cap is unambiguously the worst possible way to go about it.

Increasingly coming to the opinion that Labour thought the public would tolerate an austerity parliament because they did with Cameron, which, lol.

Might be a bit too on the nose however to do policy based on the guy who hasn't been relevant politically for almost two decades.

They might actually do ID cards to make Blair happy.

So minor cabinet reshuffle and a new Junior ISA option then?

Man whose business model depends on advertisers believing bots are real people wants people to think bots are their friends.

Playing on Trump thinking Europe and Asia owe the US Trillions for what? Knocking America back a peg or two on the civilization chart to the gilded age?

The potential that this whole trade war has come from a *catastrophic* misreading of Klein and Pettis by conservatives is just it man.
