MATT GOODWIN: Just as an academic hounded out of her job wins victory for free speech, I fear Labour is planning to WRECK a new law that would protect heroes like her

Let's not kid ourselves - we've just seen a significant victory in the fight to ensure that free speech survives in Britain's universities.



An academic previously forced out of her job due to free speech suppression won a victory after the Office for Students ruled Sussex University failed to uphold her free speech. However, the author expresses concern that the Labour government plans to weaken the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act, potentially removing financial penalties for universities that stifle free speech, despite the Act's original intent to protect free expression on campuses.
