So again as education moves further towards centres of economics and away from centres of learning, we get more stupid with every year

'Alarm' ......... by a think tank what sort of degree does one need for employment in a think tank?

We have to stop measuring success through the lens of neoliberalism: I did everything right yet I’m poor and suicidal because our culture and education system does not make successful humans who are happy.

Could be a good move, if the primary focus is to compare specific courses, or departments, by institution, and weighted by the average A-level grades of the intake and local conditions. A BBB student earning £80k in Leeds beats a AAA student on £100k in London etc..

Tory government aiming to decrease social mobility even more. Universities with a majority of disadvantaged students will lose out on resources to universities for students born into wealth with automatically high earnings.

Schools that graduate more doctors & teachers will be ranked lower than schools who produce more traders?

Splendid idea, that will perhaps focus minds on useful degree subjects.
