Remember, the #Chancellor of Germany is in the #Lincoln Bedroom while all this is going down.
In the presense of the German #Chancellor, #Putin's whore now implies he may even sanction #Ukraine.
The #US is gone.
NEW! German #Chancellor says #Putin sees peace talks as 'sign of weakness'
"Putin obviously sees offers of talks as a sign of weakness"
Recent #diplomatic efforts to end the conflict has been met with harsher military action from #Moscow, #Merz adds
THANK YOU, FEDERAL #CHANCELLOR!
Got to agree with this from Prof Wyn Evans in his candidate’s statement for Chancellor of Cambridge:
“If Cambridge needs a high-profile or celebrity chancellor to be noticed, we might as well give up and rebrand the University as a reality TV show: ‘Keeping Up with the Cantabrigians’.
We will always prosper provided we stay true to our core values of excellence in education, learning and research”
Pleased to have helped nominate an astrophysicist.

Ex #BlackRock #Germany #chancellor #Merz come to the right place because #China is profiting massively from the #Ukraine #war and is supplying BOTH sides with #drones
Whether #Xi will change anything about this is questionable, probably not.
da ist Fritze Merz tatsächlich mal an der richtigen Adresse weil China profitiert MASSIV vom Ukraine Krieg und beliefert BEIDE Seiten mit #Drohnen
Ob der Xi da iwas dran ändert äusert Fragwürdig vermutlich nicht
"#Reeves inherited a far weaker #economy than #Brown, but its weakness represents supply side stagnation rather than deficient demand. Overall, if Reeves is following anyone it is #Labour’s most accomplished #Chancellor, while any obsession about following rules on her part can unfortunately be laid at the door of #LizTruss."

What does the AFR say about University administration?
“Are Australian university #bosses worth the big bucks? Australian vice chancellors earn far more than their #peers in the #UK, #US, #Canada and #NewZealand. Is this justifiable?”
“Australian #universities, it seems to me, are subject to two different forces: #managerialism and a heightened #regulatory state. By having so much #RedTape attached to universities by #government, we end up needing a lot of processes and the VCs are there to make sure their universities are fulfilling all those sets of #regulations,” Forsyth says.
She agrees with Robinson that university governance is at the core of the explosion in executive salaries. Whereas Robinson points to a lack of #experience and #expertise on university boards, Forsyth blames the loading of #CorporateTypes on university #councils and in #Chancellor positions, which she says fundamentally changes the focus from academia to money-making #enterprises.
“I think this has enabled councils to leave the managers in charge and act in solidarity with them,” she says. “Councils are stacked with people who are going to be on the vice chancellor’s side from an ideological perspective.”
Forsyth, author of “A History of the Modern Australian University”, was made redundant last year from #AustralianCatholicUniversity after it shut down a raft of courses in the humanities, including #ResearchInstitutes in #philosophy and #history.
She notes that for decades, #ViceChancellors have been whinging about the lack of #GovernmentFunding, but achieved very little in return. At the same time, they have overseen mass #casualisation of staff – #HigherEducation has the largest proportion of causal and contract staff of any sector in the economy – while ignoring widespread #WageTheft – now estimated to be as high as $160 million affecting 100,000 employees in almost all universities”
