Here’s your regular reminder that diversity includes: - Disabled people - People of Colour - People from working-class backgrounds - Women - LGBTQ+ people - Religious minorities - Older students returning to education - Neurodivergent people - Care leavers - First-generation university students If you don’t care about diversity, then you don’t care about ensuring that universities are accessible to talented people from all walks of life. You don’t care about removing barriers that have historically kept certain groups out of higher education. You don’t care about competence - because talent exists everywhere, but opportunity doesn’t. And that, frankly, tells us absolutely everything we need to know about you.

I am proud of Britain and what we have given to the world - no nation has done more. Let's shout about it, and importantly teach children about our incredible contribution to human progress. I am unashamedly British and proud. No guilt, no apologies, no reparations.
