My loosely held contrarian view is that private schools probably have minimal impact on social mobility, because they are one of the lowest value-add things you can do with that amount of money.

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

To cross streams a moment, Mulhouse’s city population is just over 100,000 and the agglomeration nearly 250,000. It’s considerably smaller than Preston and it has three tram lines and one tram-train. The trams seem well-used (60,000 passengers a day). Why can’t we have nice things too?

We have one of the lowest state pension provisions in Europe, and no, private pensions don't bridge the gap for most of us. You'll be old one day, use your f**king brains, you're being manipulated.

What gets my goat is even with the triple lock and the growing consensus in the media to curb it. But there's never any parallel conversation that we also have one of the most meagre state pensions in Europe.

Like the Rs in strawberry and full glass of wine problem. An LLM doesn't know what a strawberry is, or what an R is, what "three" is, or what wine is. And because no-one wrote the sentence "there are three Rs in strawberry" or photographed a full wine glass, they couldn't do it
