Does this piece from Terry Eagleton, arguing 'It’s time to abolish the #university', quite work as satire in the era of #Rishi Sunak's 'rip-off' degrees?

'The fact is that all we really need are business schools. Apart from the odd laboratory here and there, we could abolish universities altogether and save ourselves a stupendous amount of money. It’s true that this might leave hordes of young people with time on their hands, but this was never a problem in the days of National Service. In any case, universities are flagrantly self-contradictory institutions. Having being dragged out of the Middle Ages and forced to become efficient, they now look more like Tesco’s head office rather than ivory towers.'

'Welcome to #Rishi-land: barren of attractions, bar a wavering chorus of ‘at least we’re not #Labour’

As cartoonish ministers posture with their pseudopolicies, #MickeyMouse is looking positively statesmanlike'

Now there was I thinking that Sunak encouraging all that fossil fuel extraction was his way of fighting the culture wars, but maybe it's just good old-fashioned corruption.

It's not unknown for politicians in their last year or so in office to crash and burn their country's economy just to leave their successor with a tricky problem to solve, but crashing and burning the planet's climate is a disturbing new take

#Rishi has said today that the net zero plans must be proportionate and pragmatic. So that presumably means emergency banning of a whole load of fossil fuel stuff Rishi? I mean proportionate means stopping the world from burning up and all the ice melting, raising sea levels by 270 metres. Right?

Or did you actually mean: let’s do fuck all so the wealthy can continue to fuck us all with their carbon emissions?

With all his plans in tatters, #Rishi eyes some reshuffle lolz

🎵 Oh #Rishi you're so blind, you're so blind it blows my mind, hey Rishi, hey Rishi!
Oh Rishi, what a pity you can't understand
Without #HorizonEurope we're all stuck in no man's land
Oh Rishi, we all wish that you would understand
It's up to you, Rishi!
Just sign that deal, Rishi, now Rishi, don't break our hearts Rishi...🎵

Dear #Rishi, you never experienced a “tight household budget” in your privileged elitist lovely life. Forgive me for thinking that you don’t have a scoobie. Also please stop with the slow, patronising oratory, we are not children and don’t appreciate the condescension, I don’t know who’s helping you with presentation but they’re a total jerk. #gtto

Sunak is a liar.

‘You walked in and your heart sank’: the shocking inside story of #Manston detention centre

Last year, the short-term facility in Kent ballooned into a vast, unsafe camp holding thousands of people, including children. How did our #asylum system get so broken – and what does it reveal about #Rishi #Sunak's promise to stop the small boats

"...causes immensely more trouble than the clocks ever did."

Just like #Rishi!

@MeanwhileinCanada I think we're waiting fir #Rishi to upgrade the power grid so they can be moved electrically.

Hmmm. I wonder if #Rishi will invite us all over for a pool party?
#EnergyCrisis #TaxTheRich #PM #PeopleOverPools

I wanna tell my #American friends wanting to escape #fascism you are free to move over here to the U.K.
Just don't travel by boat. #Rishi don't like that.
Also don't be #POC or #LGBTQI or #Poor.
Especially don't be poor. Rishi don't like them at all.
Oh. But if you are #Rich, a boat is okay. As long as it cost at least £10M you'll be fine!

On second thought, forget it. It's not that great over here either...
