📢 @APPGStudents has launched an inquiry on how the cost of living crisis is affecting students.

[Mark Taylor-Batty @cupofassam]

I want to emphasise the scale of the cuts to the USS pension (broadly the pension scheme for the ‘pre-92’ University sector) and why this is key to the current dispute with employers. This is going to take a couple of threads. This first thread is on the cuts. #USSmess #UCURising

Had a crack at astronaut selection. Amazing being in the process alongside some truly incredible people. So great to see @ESA push the boundaries with the para-astronaut programme. Only wish they’d been bolder still with their final class. https://t.co/hA3oIlnZV5
