What baffles me is that he applied for the two roles in 2024 and 2025, and put different details on the application forms, at a school he already worked at. If I suddenly started telling my colleagues that I was 35 and went to Cambridge, they would probably notice!

All students applying for Maths at Cambridge will now be required to take TMUA as a preliminary assessment to help guide invitations for interview. This follows the news that the University of Oxford will use TMUA and not MAT. Both for 2027 entries.

Watching #LostInTranslation 23 years on. I know that they didn'thave Google Maps and Google Translate then. But soo many things around the movie just don't ring true.
1) the terrible translator in the ad filming scene - Japan has so many professional translators

The Times can’t even be bothered to spell Wrocław right. Anyway, I’ve been there five times, and it is nothing like Venice. It has one river and no canals. It’s beautiful and doesn’t need to be a dupe of anywhere.

Nick Clegg's "Commission on Inequality in Education" 2017. Yet another irrelevant excuse for the great and the good to hobnob and produce nothing of any import for a thinktank based in Millbank Tower.
Giving Braverman the education brief is quite a choice for Reform. I was on an education commission with her once before she went completely mad and she knew absolutely nothing at all.
