Is Rishi Sunak about to inflict untold damage on our universities, on economic growth and on any hope of levelling up?

If this is the sort of fantastical claims that Brexit supporters have to resort to, it makes you wonder how long it will be before political support for a pro-EU position on Britain’s best interests will emerge. Brexit has been such a damaging failure.

Further evidence that Rishi Sunak and his Cabinet are deeply split over the benefits and costs of international students.
And that some ministers see a new 'crackdown' as an economic and electoral dead end.

The universe is more wonderful than I had imagined…

14 years of Conservative government.

I wrote to The Times and The Sunday Times about their editorial on diversity in the civil service. They didn’t publish my letter, so I’m publishing it myself. EDI work played a valuable role in setting up the Dept for Trade and more generally in ensuring the civil service gets the talent it needs.

Good thread this on the 'global majority' term. Some thoughts (and shameless plugs of my hashtag content) of my own.

We have a great opportunity for a new group leader MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology ! Feel free to get in touch with any of us if you would like to hear more about LMB.
