There isn't one quote we could pick out of this interview to do it justice. If there is one interview you watch today, make it this one with @matmohoric. On n'a pas su choisir une seule citation qui rendrait hommage à l'interview. Du coup si vous devez écoutez un seul interview en entier aujourd'hui, faites en sorte que ce soit celui de @matmohoric. #TDF2023

For the first time ever, I hit a 404 error on the @wonkhe site. Well played.

This is excellent from Willetts. Comprehensive debunking of some very entrenched nonsense about higher education participation and more. conservativehome.com/2022/08…

The number of young people into higher education keeps on rising and has gone over 50 per cent. It is nothing to do with any target.

It may not be fashionable to say positive things about train companies, but service this week from both @AvantiWestCoast and @ScotRail for transporting bikes has been superb.

Wow. They usually u-turn after they’ve been elected.

I just read today’s email from @millarmind describing his final time riding the last stage in Paris. Spine tingling. It was a lot slower when we rode up the Champs Elysee last month.

All of a sudden nothing worked. The audience began to jeer. Yes, for the first time in his career, the crowd were booing, and it was only getting louder.

So I'm rewriting my lecture notes to be in imperial units to comply with the blonde gibbon's latest wheeze. Foot-pound for energy and pound-foot for torque. But interchangeable. Yep, that makes life easier for everyone.
