The #HareReport reminds us that our #TertiaryEducation institutions are not immune to cases of #Corruption but I was left bewildered by the amplitude of this apparently intractable problem. How much don’t we know about? And, how ‘deep’ is the corruption entrenched?
“The University of Wollongong has been in the spotlight over allegations of corruption. But the higher education sector is littered with similar sordid tales.”

Concern at how little influence #local people have on planned #energy #developments
Biggest problem is that signing up to its principles is completely voluntary
Signing it off last week, #councillors themselves raised concern about the lack of environmental voices on its implementation board, and the impact a large additional #workforce could have on fragile #transport links

“The More Than 30 Scandal-Hit Reform Candidates Elected Last Week”
by Josiah Mortimer in The Byline Times on Substack
@uk_politics
@BylineTimes
@UKLabour
“At least four newly-elected Reform UK councillors appear to have been suspended, expelled or resigned their seats altogether since the local elections in England. They only took place last Thursday, 7 May.
But there are more than 30 other new Reform councillors who face allegations of wrongdoing, hypocrisy, sharing hateful social media material and more, analysis by Byline Times finds, none of whom appear to have faced any disciplinary action so far”

North #Lincolnshire Council has 43 #councillors: 27 of them are #Tories & 16 are #Labour. See: https://www.northlincs.gov.uk/your-council/councillors/.
Not surprised the #Tory #Councillors comments caused a shitstorm - I am not aware of *any* divided or no-go area in #Stowmarket caused by #Muslims or #Turkish folk (there aren't even that many there to start with, less than 100 in a town with population 21 500!)
