New Dutch hard right wing government taking a hammer to higher ed… It looks like an up to 1 billion euro (8/10%?) budget cut across science and education side of the business. Most onerous is the direct reversal of a program that’s just put 1200 talented scientists in a permanent jobs.

In our @schechtlm.bsky.social SER article we show that daughters are less likely than sons to receive parental transfers, values tend to be lower & daughters receive different types of asset. This translates into a gender tax gap of 2% for inheritances and 22% for gifts.

You fall in love with someone outside the UK & want to marry them and live here. Now you need to earn the minimum wage to get a spouse visa. This government wants to double (!) that from £19k to £38k. From minimum to median. Disgusting idea.
