UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
UK universities face financial turmoil as figures from the Home Office show plunging numbers of international students applying for courses starting in the next academic year.
Most student visa applications are received over the summer, leaving many universities hoping that things will improve by September.
Jeff Williams, Enroly’s chief executive, said the latest data showed that international student recruitment for September had been on a downward trend since the start of the year.
“Our UK university colleagues are working tirelessly to continue to attract international students to their programmes.
If Enroly’s figures are representative of the sector, about 150,000 fewer international students would arrive on UK campuses this autumn.
If better exam grades encourage more school leavers to go to university, that would offset the expected losses from international students.
