Letter to Trinity Hall Cambridge – recruitment strategy that disadvantages state school applicants
It was recently leaked by the Guardian newspaper that Trinity Hall Cambridge’s new recruitment strategy will seek to recruit those from schools like Eton or Harrow specifically to improve the ‘quality’ of their applicants. This is deliberate exclusion of state school applicants and I have written to the Master of the College. You can read

I have received many messages regarding the future of the former Plas yn Rhos site. I want to clarify the situation as it stands, following further information regarding the nature of this proposal.
It is important to understand that this is not a Home Office consultation. This is a proposal being driven by a private business, Clearsprings Ready Homes. To my knowledge, this is now the third time in recent years that Clearsprings has brought forward a proposal for this site. On the previous two occasions, the proposal was formally objected to by Wrexham County Borough Council.
While Plas yn Rhos is located just outside my Wrexham constituency, I recognise that its potential impact, particularly on our local GP surgeries, schools, and infrastructure, will be felt deeply by my constituents. I am working closely with Steve Witherden MP, WCBC, and the local community to ensure our voices are heard.
If Clearsprings chooses to pursue this proposal further, they must follow the usual planning process. This is a statutory matter for the Council. Any change of use for the building will require formal scrutiny, and this remains the proper channel for local concerns regarding the suitability of the site and the pressure on public services to be addressed.
I will continue to work with local partners to ensure that any development in our borough is sustainable, managed, and prioritises the needs of our existing services. ... See MoreSee Less

I left X (formerly Twitter) in 2025 following ethical concerns regarding its regulation, content and ownership. Many of us have been horrified by the news regarding Grok the AI chatbot altering images of people, generating pictures of women and children in states of undress. These are created without consent, which is abusive and causing extreme distress.
The Technology Secretary has said that she expects technology companies to introduce the steps recommended by Ofcom's guidance on how to make platforms safer for women and girls without delay, and if they do not, she is prepared to go further.
The UK Government will build on measures outlined in the Crime and Policing Bill to criminalise nudification apps.
This is not about restricting freedom of speech. It is about tackling violence against women and girls. ... See MoreSee Less

Trinity Hall Cambridge's new recruitment strategy is disadvantaging those from a state school who want to apply.
93% of young people attend a state school and we should be widening opportunities for them and not narrowing them.
