Odd thing about Scotland is the variety. The west of Glasgow is one of the best places to live in Britain, if not Europe. The city's east end has one of the lowest life expectancies in the Western world. The difference is explained by politics.

In the year since Assad's fall, ~1.4m Syrian refugees have returned. His former ambassador to London is now amongst them: invited back with ~20 other defectors by the new Syrian gvt. He tells his story here:- https://t.co/MDYyg977FU

So true. Starmer can simply send an email: "Make all LEO data public, add apprenticeship and non-grad salaries, do by 1 Jan". Could transform the debate. Parity of information, as well as esteem. LEO cost a bomb, but work is already done. All Starmer needs to is release it.
@FraserNelson Listened this morning. It’s a free win for the gov. A rare opportunity to improve student outcomes for £nil

...IMO the biggest single thing Starmer can do to help apprenticeships is send an email ordering the LEO database to be released in full. Then we can see how trade, vocational and apprenticeship jobs compare to the McJobs that so many graduates end up in.

I've just been on Radio4 talking about the LEO database tells you how much graduates of each course in each uni earn after five years. The Times has built a reader for the redacted version, which is v informative and gives subject groups.... https://t.co/l4RI5mVpUN

Good to see Offord resigning the peerage after his defection: the honourable thing to do. Now he needs to persuade Danny Kruger to call a by-election and give his constituents a say in whether they are represented by a Reform or Tory MP...

This is precisely the kind of data that Starmer can and should make public by fully opening the LEO database
@FraserNelson Following an apprenticeship with a water Co, my 19yr old son is on £45K/yr (not including OT), no student debt. Uni is a scam for most.

We need is to take the debate beyond pro or anti education. Degrees vary in quality and usefulness. Many apprentices earn more than graduates. HMT holds all the data. Starmer can - in one email - order the LEO database to be fully opened so we can see this full picture.

Scotland. Looking for reasons to have a go at Westminster? This has the advantage of being a genuine grievance. The pointless ideological destruction of one of the nation's most valuable industries. Oil and gas.

So why not open the LEO database, breaking down pay by institution/degree: vs apprenticeships? This would show how well debt-free apprenticeships compare to degrees. Give sixthformers full range of options Too many schools are judged by how many kids they ship off to uni
For too long, success has been measured by whether you go to university or not. That needs to change. Apprenticeships should have the same respect and opportunity. We're delivering 50,000 more apprenticeships over the next three years.
