Save Language, Translation & Interpreting degrees at the University of Aberdeen - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/fdUrNwKwJB via @UKChange

[UCFL @ucflangs.bsky.social @UCFLangs]

Today @UCFLangs will be in the House of Lords @APPGML explaining why translation and interpreting courses are very far from ‘Mickey Mouse degrees’ and why low pay in the industry needs addressing. Academia must work with industry and government to plug the skills gap.

in 2016, only 47 British MPs & Lords held an Irish passport
- by 2021, that figure went up to 227
- in 2022, there are now 321 of them with an Irish passport

Our ruling class seems to have remained in Europe. People next?

It's always revealing to do the "substitution" test :)

Just imagine the Foreign Secretary telling people of colour to "be respectful" 👇in a country implementing apartheid policies ...

The "conspiracy of silence" about Brexit

This film by the Financial Times says what you won't hear from the vast majority of UK politicians and media

"Oh but the @FT are Remainers !" they'll say. You see here 👇why any decent financial expert would be

We'd like to welcome our new Health Secretary @sajidjavid. He will be splitting his time between JP Morgan, who advise on the privatisation of the NHS for US Health Firms, and his new role working closely with @didoharding in preparing the NHS for it's future.

Today I learned a lot about UCAS end-of-cycle data and how Modern Languages degree acceptances are recorded. It started yesterday evening with an article in the THE on significant declines in modern languages acceptances through UCAS. 1/8

"Brexit is bringing havoc. But government won’t talk about it. The opposition dare not mention it. The rightwing press won’t cover it. And broadcasters fear they will be damned as biased if they admit it." Me in the Observer on a land of make-believe.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

Let’s tell it how it is. The EU are not locking us out. The Government, by interpreting Brexit as ‘keep them foreign’s out’, dumped us out of the single market and customs union, thus kneecapping half our industry and probably breaking up the U.K. https://t.co/xTaphWbpNz

[Rt Hon Chris Skidmore @CSkidmoreUK]

The Arts and Humanities are of high value.
Not just as the educational basis for our legal, financial, creative arts sectors.
Not just in subsiding STEM subjects across universities. They are of high value as disciplines that are at the core of western thought and a free society
