- I did a thing for Wonkhe in which I kind of make an argument not to scrap the graduate labour market survey. wonkhe.com/blogs/can-th... There is a live consultation on this that ends on 1 December. If you are convinced by my argument that we need hourly earnings data please do drop DfE a note.

- Happy The Festival of Higher Education day for those who celebrate! If you are joining us in London, may I modestly suggest sessions on a single data model, and on green skills, will be the sessions all the cool kids will be at.
