Welcome to post-Brexit UK:

The University of Southampton said “post-Brexit strategy” justified paying its vice-chancellor £433,000 a year, after it emerged Sir Christopher Snowden is one of the country’s highest-paid university leaders. The announcement places Snowden and Southampton in the firing line over rising executive pay, after the resignation of the University of Bath’s vice-chancellor, Glynis Breakwell, after widespread criticism of her £468,000 pay. “World-class capable leaders are needed to ensure that the UK’s universities become one of the stars in the UK’s post-Brexit export strategy,” said Gill Rider, chair of the Southampton University’s council. “Sir Christopher brings breadth and depth of experience that is critical to Southampton’s long-term success.”

After 52 years in the UK, Anthony Bryan was shocked to be told he was in the country illegally and faced forced removal. Earlier this month he was sent to an immigration detention centre and booked by Home Office staff on a flight back to Jamaica, a country he left when he was eight and has not visited since. The case is the latest in an emerging scandal over the Home Office’s brutal treatment of a number of long-settled, retirement-age UK residents who are being aggressively pursued over their immigration status. Bryan’s MP, Kate Osamor, said these cases were just “the tip of the iceberg” and described the situation as barbaric.
