This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

This is bullshit. You can say there are costs, you can even claim the costs outweigh the benefits. But to say that immigration has caused incalculable damage is not just hugely offensive to millions of people and their families, but simply empirically demonstrably wrong
If you thought the PM’s speech was punchy, his foreword to the immigration white paper says high net migration has done “incalculable damage” to the country.
That is a serious shift in tone for a Labour government/party.

Good grief
On universities the white paper only reduces the graduate visa from two years to 18 months (which is a win for the DfE).
The bigger thing universities will be worrying about is this little timebomb.

She’s a strawberry elderflower martini to mark the end of the long weekend. The garden is repaying all the hard work I put in over the winter/early spring - waiting for my peonies to bloom (I bet they’ll do it next week when I’m away…). #ConfinedCocktails

In January 2021, during the third national lockdown, I pulled into this deserted pub car park to turn the van round and found a lamppost and a bin engaged in lively conversation while they thought no one was looking. Incredible.
