Universities have a critical role to play in growing our #NHS workforce - with @RussellGroup universities training over 70% of the UK's doctors and dentists, as well as thousands of nurses, midwives, clinical academics and other healthcare professionals.
🚨NEW: We've partnered with health educators in an open letter to @DHSCgovuk ministers, calling for greater recognition of education, training and research in NHS workforce plans 🩺🏥🥼 Read our joint letter here 📨 https://t.co/y6vhzUEpEg

Great to see @CBItweets supporting this. The International Student Levy would take £300mill out of @RussellGroup universities alone, impacting our ability to invest in R&D, high-quality teaching and student support that all help the government’s growth and opportunity agenda.
🚨 STOP the International Student Levy! It's a short-sighted tax that will undermine UK growth and competitiveness. Our universities are powerful engines of R&D and local economies. Read more on our joint letter with @UniversitiesUK in @thetimes 👇

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency

The Guardian has highlighted our analysis on university student tuition fees, showing in today’s prices, the £9,535 fee is worth an estimated £6,700 - a fall of around 26% since 2017. https://t.co/k3kEvPIUav

The figures simply don’t add up for higher education in England and Wales. Yet delusional politicians from all parties seem intent on avoiding the issue, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

The way the English commentators speak of Jofra Archer you'd think he's the second coming of Malcolm Marshall. Most overrated fast bowler I've ever seen.
