There’s now a record number of providers on the OfS register. Laine Theatre Arts join quite a number of providers offering musical theatre degrees. As an ‘approved’ provider Laine doesn’t have a fee limit - so charges £21829.50 per academic year (students can access a £6,000 loan).

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Hi. I'm sharing a pre-print by
@anavaldi.bsky.social
and me that is gaining traction
@ssrn.bsky.social
. Critical minerals policies are generating pressures to create 'technological peripheries' in both the South and North. We look at Chile and Spain.
