@BBCSportWales @BBCScrumV I think 1. Could anyone else do better? Wales rugby problems go far deeper than the coach and 2. Losing Gatland will cost more to the WRFU than keeping him.

Richie Rees says he's not sure whether keeping Gatland was the right decision and believes an change is needed... What do you think? 🤔 #BBCFootball #Wales #SixNations

@QAAtweets Thank you for your kind words about this report!

English HE regulator should consider running evaluation modelled on Teaching Excellence Framework for transnational education courses, says @DrDMCarter in @HEPI_news report timeshighereducation.com/news/consider-… via @paddywjack

My @HEPI_news report on transnational eduction, and why we need to talk (even) more about the student experience of #TNE

There is something paradoxically satisfying about the UK general election being on July 4th and the US presidential election being on November 5th.

Paying dutiful attention to my daughter’s GCSE studies, and today being half term already. We sat down to watch the BBC An Inspector Calls, starring David Thewlis with a moustache. On Amazon Prime. Can anyone spot the mistake?

And don’t get me wrong, Discovery/Eurosport does a great service to cycling and their coverage is quirky and fun, but still …

Like TMS is to cricket, @itvcycling coverage of @LeTour is a joy for fans and non-fans alike, and fulfils the public service duty to explain as well as entertain. It’s going to leave such a huge gap in our summer.

@revbcarter @degruyter_brill Too niche? I’ll try and send you a copy

@DrDMCarter @degruyter_brill Looks excellent and I won't take it personally that you didn't commission a chapter on the Greek influences on the development of Latitudinarian and liberal thought!

Ten years in the making, but it’s finally here! Thanks to my co-editors Rachel Foxley and Liz Sawyer, to all our contributors and to everyone ⁦@degruyter_brill⁩ Brill's Companion to the Legacy of Greek Political Thought | Brill brill.com/display/title/…

I welcome the swift action taken by the new government to scrap the Ofsted single word judgment of schools, and its replacement with an evaluation of a range of areas giving a fairer and more accurate understanding of school performance.

@JHDScourfield For me it was the ability to hang in the air for minutes and take their hands off the bars, loop the loop, wave at their mum, have a cup of tea … before gliding down to earth.

So here I am watching BMX Freestyle Park on Eurosport, and I'm astonished most of all at how much the commentators remind me of Ant and Dec.

So @Jacqui_Smith1 is the new HE, FE & Skills Minister. I think a brilliant appointment - experienced and politically savvy - going to be able to need to navigate a tough inheritance. Another sign the new government takes the challenges facing the sector(s) extremely seriously.

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

Just 4% of Keir Starmer's Cabinet went to private school compared to 63% in Rishi Sunak's government. 93% were educated at a comprehensive school. A massive change from all previous UK governments

As we wait for the polls to close, here’s a quick blast of the old and rather wonderful @BBCNews general election theme, sadly no longer used. #ge24 youtu.be/4pFIdLIHOdk?fe…

Today was a good day to talk about #democracy. David Wiles here in Oxford at the launch of his new book. Thank you ⁦@APGRD⁩ for inviting me.
