Today is A-level results day in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Our #ThursdayThread looks at the potential impact of #Brexit on higher education, with highlights from @nickhillman’s recent #UKICELongRead. 🎓 Nick argues that UK universities played their hand badly in the #Brexit referendum, taking a contradictory approach to the Scottish referendum.
