Let's go mad for Manchester - and beyond
The Independent, 26/06/2013, p.20, Hamish Mcrae
Now some work by the LSE suggests that the problem is not that London is too big, but rather that Britain’s other cities are too small. Professor Henry Overman, director of its Spatial Economics Research Centre, has concluded that we should allow successful provincial cities such as Manchester to grow even faster by loosening planning controls and improving education and other services there.

A spending review full of politics, devoid of strategy
The Guardian, 26/06/2013, p.36, David Walker
Public officials often quite relish pressure, especially being forced to think through priorities. The right persistently makes the mistake of imagining that "bureaucrats" just want to expand their empires; more often they want, in the phrase coined by Patrick Dunleavy, professor of political science and public policy at the London School of Economics, to "shape" and rationalise their offices.

Emir stands aside for his son, but what has changed?
i (The paper for today), 26/06/2013, p.26, Peter Popham
It is to the universities that one has to look to see some of the more controversial foreign students who have been educated in the UK. Saif Gaddafi, the son of the former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, was educated at the London School of Economics, where he was involved in a row over plagiarism after it emerged 6 per cent of his thesis could be traced to other sources.

Obama's climate speech: 'It is time for Congress to share his ambition'
guardian.co.uk (Web), 25/06/2013, Unattributed
Nicholas Stern, chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at London School of Economics and Political Science said: “President Obama's speech was very clear on the scale of dangers posed by climate change and the responsibility of the United States and other countries to act. Recent experience shows that the United States can cut emissions and grow.”

The New College of the Humanities: Would you pay double university fees for a better education?
New Statesman (Web), 25/06/2013, Tabatha Leggett
“I met a boy studying Economics at Cardiff last week. He has 400 people in his lecturers and his smallest supervision is shared with 40. There’s no way that’s a worthwhile experience.” It’s this, Jane claims, which has caused students to leave LSE, Bristol, York, Exeter, Sussex and Trinity College Dublin and enroll at NCH, which had no dropouts in its first year. Still, attempting to resolve the failings of UK universities via a privatised system is more contentious than Jane will admit.
