The University of Manchester's student union voted to replace traditional clapping with "jazz hands" to avoid triggering students with sensory issues or anxiety. The hosts mock the policy, pointing out that the BBC could not find a single deaf student who was actually bothered by clapping, and noting that the change discriminates against blind students who rely on audio cues.

Researchers at the University of Manchester conducted a study claiming that the annual consumption of sandwiches in Britain produces carbon emissions equivalent to 8.6 million cars. The study specifically targeted pre-packaged "all-day breakfast" sandwiches for their high carbon footprint. Researchers suggested extending "use-by" dates to reduce waste, which critics argue could increase the risk of food-borne illness.
