A thread re. the immigration white paper and how it impacts students/student sponsors. It is clear that this could be a lot worse, with rumoured changes to assessment of English language, caps on numbers, and the worst changes to the Graduate Route avoided.

I have views about marzipan. it’s bad enough that there is a layer of it ruining a perfectly good fruit cake, but those little balls of awfulness wreathing the Simnel cake are vile. (I appreciate I’m not being forced to eat it.)

Not just me then… I have learnt something new today (the answer’s in the comments)
I'm 44 and have never understood what a barber means when they ask if I want the back of my hair "squared off" or "tapered". I just choose randomly and have never noticed a discernible difference between the two options.

On the streets of Liverpool, there is a humanitarian crisis

A perfect storm of problems means more and more people are finding themselves homeless & sleeping rough & it’s getting worse - it’s a situation playing out across the country

A difficult 🧵 on what I’ve found reporting on this situation

34 years on and Jonny Crouch is still on my enemies list for stealing my rice crispies watch. These crows are lightweights.
Same, crows, same.
