For the amount of tax they pay, you could forgive the people of Elmbridge, Surrey, for expecting a little more from their local services. On a sunny Monday morning, Julia and Barry McCance are running some errands in Oxshott. It's a pretty commuter village with a few shops and a busy cafe, Munch and Wiggles, which this morning is filled with 30-somethings working on their laptops and retirees enjoying a gentler start to the week.

Chinese students are still propping up UK universities, despite institutions being urged to wean themselves off money from Beijing. UK universities’ financial accounts for 2023-24 show almost a third of the entire income of some institutions comes from Chinese students, Telegraph analysis has found. In total, Chinese students brought in about £5.5 billion in fees across 158 universities last year, about 10 per cent of all university income from tuition fees.

Chinese students made up the largest foreign intake of any country at UK universities until 2022/23, when a surge in students from India saw the country sail into the top position for the first time. But a drop in foreign students across the board last year and a large decline in Indian enrolments have seen the gap between New Delhi and Beijing narrow. HESA data published on Thursday showed there were 107,489 Indian nationals studying in the UK last year, while 98,4000 were from China.

Sir Keir has so far rejected calls to make any concessions on winter fuel payment cuts, but next week he will unveil his immigration white paper, which aims to make good on Labour's election manifesto commitment to reduce net migration from its current level of 728,000.
