If you visit the British Library you will see it is chock full of people making use of a free space to work, learn and research. It’s an incubator of scholarship. London already has plenty of fancy commercial co-working spaces but nothing else like the BL. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/st...

Two people I know have had their phones snatched in Hackney in the past week. I had good advice to stand by a lamppost if you need to check. Better still just don’t get your phone out at all.

I think - I may have misunderstood the system! - that media studies qualifies as being in the lowest of the "price groups" which receive additional funding for being high cost. But at that level the additional funding is so small - not much over £100 per student - that any saving here is tiny.

A question that I haven't heard a good answer to: if cutting migration by a third in a year hasn't changed the narrative on it at all - what would make you think cutting it by another third (or half] would?

Immigration fell by a third in the 9 months after General Election. (From 1.2m visas to 800k in year to March 2025). The new lower headline migration figure (the 12 months of 2024) will come out 10 days after the white paper. Saying net migration is 700k (last stat: year to June 2024) is out of date

Crows, robins, wrens making way for first bees emerging after winter hibernation in the magnolia opposite, already dropping its petals. Couple of weeks ahead of other trees outside London. I wondered what the buzzing was.

“The OfS has not investigated the circumstances that led to Professor Stock’s resignation; it does not have the powers to do this. It insists it was ‘impartial and view-point-neutral', but it has not talked to anyone apart from Professor Stock.” Good to see this robust response from Sussex Uni. 👇

This article by Sussex university’s vice chancellor about how the Office for Students seemingly oversaw its investigation into worries about free speech at Sussex is… quite something. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...
