Very grim to talk to the Head of Department at Leicester - they face a staff cut of 1/3, merger with several others… Grim stuff. Sheffield in a similar position. And rumours of other closures or massive cuts.
More asset stripping and short-termism. The UK continues to cut the branch it is sitting on.
