Today I found out I have been made Principal Fellow. I can't quite believe it to be honest. Overjoyed doesn't even come close! This took a lot of time, effort, and support from others. I was almost certain this would take years Matt East, Principal Fellow, Advance HE

You own a water company…. You enjoy a monopoly market You sell something people require for survival You don’t spend profits building or repairing your infrastructure You give billions to shareholders You pollute our waters …you then expect the bill-payer to bail you out.

The state of the United Kingdom right now. Meatballs in a security case. I blame the Tories entirely

A rather warm day for a half marathon but what a stunning race. Definitely one of my favourites. Royal parks half marathon done!

If this is the best argument the "force students to go to lectures" crowd can muster, they've lost the argument timeshighereducation.com/opi…

For their own good, we should force students to physically attend lectures

As parents, most of our time is spent stopping our children from doing things we think are bad for them. We fear that, left to their own devices, they will go astray. So we attempt to get them to eat...

18 years ago this weekend I moved into halls in Cambridge. Can't quite believe I'm that old. Very grateful to still be so close with this bunch of lads who I met on day 1

A note to some edtech companies...surely it's better to have AI-powered features that genuinely elevate your product not sub-optimal hastily added ones that are an attempt for you to "keep up" #edtech

Spartan beast south west DONE! Absolutely bloody loved this one (even the penalty loops). 14 miles in total in 3h20, and only 2 failures. Delighted to finally have my trifecta!

Too many students are being sold a university education that won't get them a decent job at the end of it. So I'm cracking down on rip-off degrees and boosting apprenticeships to ensure students get the best deal possible. Widening access. Boosting jobs. Growing the economy.

It’s enough of an insult that we have to pay for Chris Grayling without having to pay for his wife as well…

Well I survived, just. Not far off 21k in the end. With the level of mud involved this was absolutely brutal especially for anything that involved ropes or grip strength like money bars. Think I'm gonna hurt tomorrow Spartan(s) DONE

Great to see @OwenJones84 be so open with his #ADHD diagnosis & in doing so, it will help many others who have also been diagnosed too. 👏🏼 #NHS

I just diagnosed with ADHD. My friends were not surprised, to put it mildly! But the lack of NHS provision for ADHD is a national disgrace - and it has to change 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=VH8wOyRc…
