@ramsey49281649 @cszabla Both have a lot of interest in defence and security. Good business school at Cranfield as well as engineering. Cranfield has a lot of contract R&D and commercialisation expertise.

@cszabla Why cranfield? Will it become a kcl satellite campus or smth?

WHOA. we knew this crisis would result in more mergers but I didn't expect KCL to be one of the first. especially weird bc KCL is already "merged" into the university of london system and cranfield is not

@DrChrisGrocott It was always vulnerable because of high costs, its reliance on contract R&D and international recruitment. Not sure about the contract to run provision at Shrivenham.

@DrChrisGrocott To be fair, Cranfield has always relied on international students. I worked there over 30 years ago, and a lot of courses outside the School of Management had very few home students.

Billed as an exciting new opportunity, the reality is that Cranfield, which only offers PG teaching, was plunged into the red relying on overseas students to shore up its books. In 2024/25 it had only 20 days of liquidity on hand. Merger or closure were the only options.

@YOSushi I can’t show you the receipt. My 15yo daughter didn’t get a paper one and rushed off as she was told they were busy when she queried it. I’ve just got a charge of £36.44 from my Apple Pay.

@jwebbery We sincerely apologise that your daughter was overcharged. Could you please reach out to us with your receipt at hello@yosushi.com so we can look into resolving this? 🧡

@YOSushi - you overcharged my 15yo daughter in Highcross today by adding on 3 drinks when she just ordered one. She got a refund for one. She queried it once but was then too scared to challenge it a second time in a very busy restaurant. Poor form.

@elisabethh32969 @JennyAThatcher @savelibservices Yes. When you read about Christopher Clunis, it’s the same kind of history as the more recent three, and Anthony Williams of the train st*bbings.

@jwebbery @JennyAThatcher @savelibservices The lessons seemed to have been learnt. Changes were made but these have now been abolished. This is shameful.

Axel Rudakabana, Valdo Calocane and Essa Suleiman, all known to multiple services and the safety of the general public failed by psychiatric care. My mother was schizophrenic. She was only violence to herself. I spent years sitting in A&E trying to get her help with she had...

@jdflynn @mfjlewis I’m British. The first thing my Anglican husband noticed was how all Catholics didn’t dress up for Mass in the way people did in his church. Attending Mass is part of everyday life, not a performative action.

I have deleted my original debunk of this story as it appears it is actually an amalgamation of 2 stories... (Don't let anyone tell you I'm not prepared to be corrected!!) So let's look at them individually: We'll start with the photo... So what's going on? 🧵1/12

This is a genuine question, because I do not know the answer: How many Church of England church buildings have been converted into mosques?

@NewAccount9001 @ElectionMapsUK One Leicester. Keith Vaz’s group.

@ElectionMapsUK Who's OL?

Stoneygate (Leicester) Council By-Election Result: 🌍 GRN: 30.4% (+22.9) 🌹 LAB: 27.7% (-12.8) 🏘️ OL: 16.2% (New) 🙋 Ind: 11.5% (New) 🌳 CON: 8.3% (-15.3) ➡️ RFM: 2.7% (New) 🔶 LDM: 1.6% (-5.9) 🙋 Ind: 1.6% (New) No Ind (-21.0) as previous. Green GAIN from Labour. Changes w/ 2023.

@allanholloway Stoneygate ward now stretches from London Road down to the A47 so it includes South Highfields as well as the leafier part of Stoneygate. In 2024 GE an independent MP was elected on a pro-Palestine ticket. Protest voting isn’t that rare here - same happened during the Iraq War.

despite, or maybe because of, the incumbent Labour MP, Jim Marshall, helping me out over an electricity bill I couldn't afford to pay. Hope Stoneygate declares soon.

Stoneygate in Leicester is perhaps the most interesting of the 3 council ward by-elections that have polled today which may give us some insight as to what might happen in Gorton & Denton next week.

@StuartSmudge @jleicester6 @PDRNHPUK @ElectionMapsUK It’s been quite volatile over the years - Leicester South briefly had a LD MO in 2004-5.

@StuartSmudge @jleicester6 @PDRNHPUK @ElectionMapsUK Remember this is part of Leicester South that elected an independent pro-Palestine MP in 2024. The Greens ran a very heavily pro- Palestine campaign (it’s my ward).

@Terfin9000 @ElectionMapsUK Stoneygate ward includes South Highfields

@ElectionMapsUK Stoneygate used to be a desirable area. Guessing the overflow from highfields have taken over. I guess it’s Knighton or move out of Leicester then?

@leicspolice this car has been sitting outside our house with the engine running for 20 minutes. The house now stinks of exhaust fumes. What can we do? I’m not very keen to ask a car full of lads to stop it.

@efrogwraig @Haggis_UK Everyone sensible knows that’s the whole point of WW2, NATO and the EU but we’ve entered truly counterfactual times.

@efrogwraig @Haggis_UK It’s not a cliché to state it, and it’s not endorsing much of what Thatcher and Churchill stood for. Farage and Reform are utterly un-British, and the British Right would have despised him and his mates.

Nigel Farage(Reform): "The world would be a better & more secure place if America was in Greenland.. would America owning Greenland be better for the world.. it would" Govt: "Time & again Farage jets abroad to undermine Britain,, he's incapable of acting in national interest.."

@efrogwraig @Haggis_UK Churchill and Thatcher would despise him and his fans utterly.

@Haggis_UK He's a quisling.

Helpful. Yes, it’s parked in front of me so I can’t move.
