Seeing news of A&E filled with coughs, sore throats, headaches & hiccups makes me wonder when we lost confidence in treating minor ailments ourselves. Is this about GP access or slipping health literacy. Something’s clearly off.

Especially agree with section on removing international students from UK immigration stats. #Labour have missed a massive opportunity to reframe the negative debate on immigration and support and recognise the success of #HEUK
Inspired by @anthonypainter.bsky.social and @jamesdaustin.bsky.social saying there’s a lack of discussion about a progressive vision for immigration, here’s my tuppence worth.

This is a depressing read, esp the loss of 12000 jobs in #HigherEducation this year.
But it pretty much sums up what it feels like to work in HE in the UK right now.
Series of measures from Govt taking away with one hand what they have just given. Do the sums!

Now both Reform & the Conservatives are clamouring to leave the ECHR, we should perhaps pause before this turns into Brexit 2.0. It’s vital that people understand what the ECHR actually is and what losing it would mean. This funny short video explains it.

Is going to #university still worth it?
General public think 40% of students regret going to university but in fact it’s much lower at just 8%.
Nice to hear some optimistic voices about the future of #UKHE for a change.

Had one of those “glad to be alive” nights with my husband tonight. We started with lovely Spanish food & wine then a fabulous high NRG gig with Nile Rodgers & Chic - there is nothing like the collective experience of good music & dancing to lift your ❤️

Ely Cathedral is delightful. The audio guide is so well designed. I am enchanted by the story of Saint Etheldreda and will have to learn more.
