Looking forward to my latest Explore series on Ramsay MacDonald. The Explore programme is put together by the Joseph Cowen Centre, a charity based in Newcastle. It has a wide programme and well worth joining!

Some bizarre figures in here (Lib Dem figure wild, but then, Ipsos had a wild Green figure, so pick your small party house effect), but regardless, Holyrood's voting system is not holding up well; the "correct" proportional AMS outcome should be:
SNP ~ 46
RUK ~ 21
Lab ~ 20
LD ~ 18
Con ~ 14
Grn ~ 10

Looking forward to my next lecture series for the Explore programme at the Joseph Cowen Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne on Ramsay Macdonald. I have decided to run this due to very positive feedback on my lecture series' on Baldwin and Chamberlain and this will kind of complete the set!

Impact of Brexit and of leaving Erasmus+ on France-UK academic exchanges
France is endeavouring, at bilateral as much as European level, to find solutions to strengthen student exchanges with the UK in a now more restricted framework.
"The number of European students enrolled at British universities in 2022/23 was 20% lower than 2021/22 β and 37% lower than 2020/21. ... Compared to 2018/19, there were 26% fewer students from France; 37% fewer from Italy; 40% fewer from Germany."
