• Discontinue the idea of introducing a levy on higher education provider income from international students. • Reduce visa costs to ensure they are at least as competitive in cost as other leading science nations, and preferably have a target to become the mos competitive in the G7. • Provide immediate clarity that the current time length for Indefinite Leave to Remain is kept in place for current and future Global Talent visa holders and their dependents.
We are calling on the UK Government to not introduce a levy on higher education provider income from international students, reduce visa costs to attract global talent, and to review higher education funding to create a sustainable model

It’s so tough for stories by trans people about trans people to reach mainstream media … amazing work …
You might feel the community of which I’m part doesn’t count but hear us roar, lament, cry out for hope, justice and the chance to live flourishing lives … is it too much to ask for?

Looking for one of my past lectures on-line I find… an advert apparently offering me a curate for cash. 🫣
(Oh algorithm… so near and yet so far).
Nice to read for once that a supposed higher education problem isn't actually the fault of universities
The problem with unfair negative feedback from students is when university management takes it too seriously. The problem with unfair student grievances about COVID is when university management caves in. thesphinxblog.com/2026/02/18/c...

What actually happened in the Living in Love and Faith debate yesterday (apart from another 5 hours of the same old): #CofE viamedia.news/2026/02/13/l...
Almighty and everlasting God, who dost govern all things in heaven and earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of thy people, and in our time grant us thy peace;
This is just so lovely. A reminder that there are still lots of good people about, even as the vicious & awful dominate the headlines, and that religious bodies can choose to be open and inclusive

The Church of England is developing a reparative justice scheme in recognition of its complicity in trans-Atlantic slavery. Project Spire has been attacked in Parliament and the right wing press with claims of flawed historical research. What’s the truth?

Dear BBC Archives...
A letter to thank you for Mañana, the Ibsen collection and more,
to express my disappointment at how in certain ways you fail to treat these precious fragments with proper respect,
and to suggest how you could do things better.
