Proud to see the progress of the Greater Manchester Institute of Technology as we mark a key construction milestone. Opening in early 2026, the GM IoT will equip students with the tech skills they need for rewarding, high-quality careers — right here in Greater Manchester
👷🏽‍♀️ 🎉 Exciting week as we 'sign steel' to show our new Greater Manchester Institute of Technology is coming along at a cracking pace. We open in early 2026 when we'll offer technical skills training to get students into well-paid, meaningful jobs.

.@_FriedrichMerz’s @cducsubt wins Germany’s election, but tough coalition talks lie ahead. @Bundeskanzler's (Scholz) @spdde hits a post-war low. With big gains for AfD and Linke, “Germany’s political centre has weakened significantly,” says @Simon_Green. bit.ly/4i8jiyH

Worth noting that, at 84%, turnout is unusually high: clearly #BTW25 mobilised voters like few recent elections (5/5)

Correction: the Left Party is actually the biggest party among 18-24 year old voters. Together with the AfD, they attracted 46% of this group. By contrast, the Greens polled just 12% of the youth vote

A pleasure to contribute to this realistic assessment by @FiJMcIntyre
Universities are ‘asking how much research they can afford to do’ thanks to the crisis in their funding. Great to speak to @ParveenYaqoob, @Rachel_Hewitt_, @simon_green and others about this issue. researchprofessionalnews.com…

Following the collapse of the 'Traffic Light' coalition last night, a quick 🧵 on what might come next in #Germany, focusing on the prospects for the main political parties (1/9)

In short, #Germany is entering a period of political uncertainty lasting several months, with important implications for EU and foreign policy (notably Ukraine) (8/9)

My tip for the next government? We might well see another CDU/CSU-SPD coalition (albeit without participation of Scholz) under Chancellor Merz; this would not of course be a 'Grand Coalition' unless the SPD somehow manages to become the second-largest party (9/9)
