UK job market slowdown raises concerns for international students
Live EventsThe United Kingdom ’s rising unemployment rate and shrinking job market are making it increasingly difficult for international students to find work after graduation. Job vacancies have declined for the 35th consecutive quarter, falling by 63,000 to a total of 736,000 open positions across the country.These conditions are especially challenging for international students who plan to stay in the UK after completing their studies. These changes have raised hiring costs, prompting businesses to reduce recruitment efforts. Even employers who previously supported international hiring are reconsidering due to financial pressure.Students aiming for careers in finance, technology, or media are finding it harder to access quality roles. International students are being encouraged to explore alternative sectors, strengthen their skillsets, and engage with employers early.The UK remains a popular destination for education, but for many international students in 2025, the path to post-study employment is becoming more difficult to navigate.

The Times They Are-a-Changin: Labour is no longer the default left option
“VOTE LABOUR where no communist is standing” has been the default electoral policy of the Communist Party for the last 75 years. And in reality, the party’s electoral interventions have been more nuanced than the “vote Labour where no Communist stands” line implies. Yet here, the nature of Labour rule becomes the most relevant factor. So it makes little sense to continue to style Labour a “trade union party.” Only the vestiges adhere. One issue informing next steps must be that much of the left remains within the Labour Party, with roots but presently no real strategy.

Why deep domain knowledge can make your career AI-proof
“Domain expertise will certainly become more valuable. “Throughout the process, the domain experts guided the data scientists, validating findings and ensuring the final outputs reflected deep industry knowledge and sound judgement. “In a world where technology capability is increasingly commoditised, domain expertise will be the key differentiator. “AI enhances productivity, but it’s domain expertise that drives meaningful, informed action. Professionals who combine domain knowledge with the ability to work alongside AI tools will be in high demand.”Inside his own company, democratic experimentation is the fastest way to build that blend.

The global story behind Scunthorpe
To stop the surreptitious sabotage, and destruction, of the UK’s last remaining virgin-steel blast furnace at Scunthorpe, and rescue the British steel industry. Scunthorpe, in the north-east, has been a hub of steel production for over 150 years, and provides about 70 per cent of Britain’s requirements. In 2020 the Chinese steel conglomerate Jingye purchased Scunthorpe from receivership, pledging to invest 1.2 billion pounds to modernise and upgrade the facility. Privatisation, deregulation, and an ideological fervour for global comparative advantage led policymakers to favour cheaper imported steel over domestic investment. As global supply chains expanded, Britain ceded more and more production capacity to lower-cost countries, prioritising ‘cheap’ over ‘sustainable and secure’, leaving sites like Scunthorpe increasingly exposed.

‘I was forced to abandon a case of expensive wine at Palermo airport’
✉ I booked a flight with Volotea from Palermo in Sicily to Tarbes in France last month and paid for an extra 25kg piece of luggage. It was a sturdy cardboard box, well packed and secured, holding 12 bottles of wine, worth about £380, for personal consumption. This legal item was refused on spurious grounds and I had to leave what was an expensive case of wine in Palermo airport. Peter HarveyWhat a shame you had to abandon a case of delicious Sicilian wine in Palermo. We were forced to book those flights because in the chaos that day, BA was unavailable for passenger assistance.

Island nation nine times larger than UK banned from World Cup as statement released
GREENLAND’S hopes of playing competitive football on the world stage were dashed when the country was told it cannot join the confederation that also represents the Caribbean. The Arctic territory of Denmark started exploring entry to Concacaf — which covers North and Central America — three years ago. Greenland is the world's largest island and bigger than western Europe, but 81% of its land is topped by sheet ice. And now Concacaf have declined to help the country, which is nine times larger than the UK, make the next major step forward. But the the ice-covered nation, as well as Denmark, insist there is no chance of that happening.
