If Labour thinks it would be clever to curb overseas students as a way of appeasing Reform voters over migration, it should think again. Writing for OnLondon, @richardbrown.bsky.social set out why those students matter. And it isn't only about money: www.onlondon.co.uk/richard-brow...

On LBC this morning, I spoke about why we should be far more worried the power Elon Musk is accruing, especially in light of his Open AI moves.
