re: HE - it was an expression of concern re: the second reading of the Higher Education and Research Bill (UCU sent out a message asking members to bug their MPs about it - to ensure they oppose it, and if they do oppose it, to make sure they show up and vote).
Essentially it was raising concerns about overhauling HE this soon after the Brexit vote, urging for reflection on how to ensure universities continue to receive funding that may be lost, concerns about tuition and marketisation, etc.. (that is, the thing directly addressed in the bill).
His response on that was expected: we don't support the bill and will vote against it.
