Cutting language courses will be a costly mistake | Letters
Sara Robertson, Raisa McNab and John Worne fear that Britain risks becoming a monolingual island in a multilingual world. Plus letters from Dr Darren Paffey, Janet Fraser and Ilona Marchant News that the University of Exeter is planning to cut 150 jobs (Fury over Exeter University plan to scrap dozens of humanities posts, 1 July), with a disproportionate threat to the teaching of humanities, is only the latest in a series of blows to the teaching of modern languages in the UK.When universities close language departments, they reduce the pipeline of teachers, which further reduces school provision, leading to fewer students being able to study languages at university. Plus, regional closures disproportionately affect students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are more likely to study locally. Continue reading...

Public-led judging of immigration appeals may be 'dominated by migration activists', commentator warns
Journalist David Shipley has warned that Shabana Mahmood's plan to have members of the public oversee asylum appeals will be dominated by migration activists.Speaking to GB News, Mr Shipley said: I think I would probably trust the the average member of the great British public actually to be better than the average migration judge. But I think the problem with this system is it will not be 12 average people. It will be no doubt dominated by a migration activists who will aggressively pursue these jobs. They will be keen to let everyone in, and it will be, I think, probably even worse than we have now, because they will still be bound by the Human Rights Act framework, the equality law, which applies sometimes to migration cases as well. All of that is still going to apply here. So they'll have to take the same decisions, and presumably there will be routes for legal challenge if these independent boards have somehow broken the law.WATCH ABOVE.
