This week's column: choose your university wisely Post-1992 providers have been rapidly expanding business, law and computing courses. Yet the returns for students 5 years after graduating from these courses have, to date, been woeful 1/4

By 2030, our prices will be slightly more decoupled from gas prices than they are now. But Britain still desperately needs a proper gas strategy for when it's not windy or sunny. More in my column thetimes.com/article/022757…

Having more renewables will mean we turn to gas less frequently. But it will still provide marginal support when there's no wind or sun. This is what experts think a typical winter week will look like in 2030. There will still be lots of times when gas sets the price. 3/4

Will the rush to net zero save us from future energy price shocks? Since 2004, the UK has engaged in a risky experiment: generating less electricity. The bet is that enough wind will reverse that by 2030. But gas – overtaxed and neglected – will still matter 1/4

*Oops - typo 🤦‍♂️ This should of course say “students with BBB at pre-92 unis earn more than those with AAA at post-92 unis”

This gap exists even when we partially adjust for A-level grades. Students with BBB at post-92 unis earn more than those with AAA at pre-92 institutions 2/4

Britain's top unis are thriving – so much so that UK-born graduates are increasingly competing with international students for places. But the lower end is rapidly expanding, and dragging down the average graduate premium. More in my column thetimes.com/article/983ba4…

We cannot know for certain whether students going to post-1992 institutions would be better off not going to uni at all until the DfE releases the full LEO salary database. But it is fair to question why former polys are expending low-value courses at such a rapid pace 3/4

MPs pay to reach £110,000 by the end of the current parliament, IPSA says Expect current student loans furore to be replaced by a close Westminster interest in the high marginal rates in the £100-125,000 tax band

The death of the housing ladder The average income of a first-time buyer is £61k. But the average second or third-time buyer is earning £91k! Poor price growth in starter homes, plus rising moving costs, is trapping Brits in the first homes they buy thetimes.com/article/93029a…

Not sure what this is a measure of, but I have crunched some data from the @TimesDiary… Keir Starmer has appeared in our headlines 13 times in the last year, comfortably more than anyone else The result on those days is a 14.5% drop from our baseline readership
