We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who turned up unprompted first thing this morning to assist our clean-up operation.
They embody the real values of Teesside as opposed to those intent on causing disruption and division within our communities.
Our core business, transforming lives and economies through education, continues as usual, and we continue to work with our community partners to protect and celebrate our values. (2 of 2) – at Middlesbrough, England

The violence and disorder that took place in Middlesbrough on Sunday is not representative of our town and community.
We are proud to be part of a diverse and inclusive community and are saddened by these acts of violence carried out by a small minority of individuals. (1 of 2) – at Middlesbrough, England

Today we remember the 72 men, women and children taken from us at Grenfell Tower 7 years ago.
With time, those responsible hope we will all forget. Join us this evening at the Notting Hill Methodist Church at 6pm to show them we won’t 💚

At heart is the question many European governments are asking themselves - do you “ lean in “ to parties on your hard right - as Cameron did here with Brexit ref - and some Tories want to do with Farage - or fight it and defeat it - Macron’s aim now.

It would be nice if the government acknowledge the contribution (educationally, culturally & financially) international students make to the UK, rather than peddle the unsubstantiated myth of the system being abused.
While unis make a loss on domestic students, intl remains key.
No evidence foreign students are abusing UK graduate visas, review finds dlvr.it/T6rv18
