@SimonCalder, My wife and friends have had their @Ryanair flights changed turning a 3 day 2 night city break to a 2 night 1 day city break, automatically changed to a different flight despite other similar flights being available, online chat crashes and calls cut off. Help…
The highlight of #LabourConference for me was been able to talk at the Business Panal event along side fellow mayors and really put the case forward for how much our region has to offer.
I spoke about York and North Yorkshire being a key player in the food and farming sector, the rail industry as well as our bold ambition for Net Zero. I also spoke of the challenges we face. The lack of affordable homes, poor transport connectivity and how it’s vital we give people the skills they need to stay and work in our beautiful region.
Many are heading off to University Open Days at the moment here's a few starters on costs , marketing and more (feel free to add yours)...
1) If a big name Professor is speaking - ask 'what are your contact hours with undergraduates' some only do research and are just wheeled out for the day to be in the shop window.
2) Accommodation costs are more important these days. Student maintenance loans have not kept up with inflation (Eng) and most students don't get the full loan (parents are expected to fill some of the gap). So while tuition fees are standard, what really counts if ongoing cost of living.
3) If they tell you about well-known alumni, check what course they did, some spread their famous former students reps widely.
4) Find out what's actually taught and how its taught. If it's a practical course make sure you see the labs and the studios and ask what access you'll have.
Overall, don't be afraid to ask questions. This isn't school, it's a sales pitch. Speak to existing students on the course if you can, for an honest appraisal.
I've today sent an open letter to the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP on a range of non-partisan issues of financial unfairness inc Child Benefit, LISA fines, Carers Allowance, Tax-Free Childcare, financial ed, Mortgage Prisoners, debt letters, Student maintenance loans & more...

Just heartbreaking @Rob7Burrow has died after being diagnosed with MND back in 2019. A fellow @mndassoc patron, he was such a beautiful human being who did so much to raise awareness & funds for those with MND. He’ll be very much missed. Big love Lindsey, Macy, Maya & Jackson 💔
