“The financial stability of UK universities cannot depend on overseas students” “We’re going to reduce the number of overseas students” but “We have no plan for alternative funding for UK universities.” Cool. Thanks. That’s going to work brilliantly isn’t it.

Stansted vibe is reading about Ash Sarkar’s Marxist approach to marriage in the Vogue you got from the Stansted Express whilst sitting in the ‘Spoons waiting for your delayed Ryanair

I just love telling men I run a school of architecture, only for them to ask me “which bit?”

There are few more pleasing thoughts than the realisation that someone else is now having to put up with my ex-boyfriend’s bullshit

All this money & energy spent to make life more miserable for trans people could've been used to fight against domestic violence, wage disparity, sexual harassment, harassment of people accessing abortion services, proper childcare provision; you know, to make the world a better place instead.

It’s quite incredible just how many people in London decide that riding the bus is the ideal time to clip their nails.

The reputation for Brits stripping off at the first glimmer of sunshine is being vigorously upheld this morning by the woman in a bikini top at Victoria tube station.

Thinking of Westminster full of tractors. Who is allowed to protest and who is not. The UKs clampdown on climate protest is frightening

No I don’t ever want to video call you. If I’ve video called you it’s a mistake, please hang up. Or prepare yourself for a video call with my frantic and confused face.

As Sussex points out in the piece, this ruling means that if a university has a policy against racist speech on campus — which most - if not all - do!!! — then they would also be liable for a big fine on “free speech grounds”

To gain a sense of control in troubled times, some people work out endlessly, some calorie restrict, others might fanatically work on their appearance. Turns out I plan a banger of a day trip to Paris.
