"So we're into the Conservative Party leadership run-off campaign, and the two
candidates are throwing policies at the base that, to outsider ears, sound
increasingly bizarre. But there's a lot we can learn from them about how the
Conservative elite perceive the state of the UK today, and some of it (who am I
kidding? Most of it!) is disturbing.
In the latest move, potential Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (the richest MP in
parliament, a former Goldman Sachs employee and hedge-fund manager who married
a billionaire) has vowed to phase out university degrees that do not improve
students' "earning potential":
... Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "train the serfs for work, actual
education is for the wealthy elite". But there's a lot more to it than that."
