When UK was an EU member, citizens of other EU nations paid same tuition fees as students of the country of the UK where they were studying (and vice versa, of course), meaning no undergrad fees at universities in Scotland! 🤝 @johnswinney.bsky.social, will #ScotGov try to make this possible again?

A deal could see EU students have their fees cut from £38,000 to £9,535, bringing them in line with UK undergraduates, Sir Keir Starmer has reportedly offered to top EU officials. It has been suggested that the reduction was offered as a price to secure a date for a UK-EU summit.

After a decade of Brexit failure, the UK must return to Europe and rejoin the EU! It's almost fitting that the 10th anniversary of the referendum comes a day after the resignation of another UK Prime Minister. The referendum ushered in profound political instability in the UK. 🧵(1/N)

Today, on the tenth anniversary of the disastrous Brexit referendum, I'm preparing to chair the first meeting of Holyrood's Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee. And I'll be wearing this.

Another one bites the dust.

​LBC nails the exact feeling of this 10-year milestone. Waking up to the anniversary of the referendum isn't a celebration; it’s a solemn look at a decade of manufactured economic decline. A total political travesty that we are still collectively paying for. #Brexit #UKPolitics #RejoinEU
