A Plan 2 grad who got a good job paying £36,000 and whose earnings followed a typical trajectory will £87,000 in real terms. How did 'it's fair for students to make a contribution to the cost of their degree' morph into 'let's gouge them for far more than they ever borrowed?'

Nigel Farage has just cost the councils who requested a delay until next year MILLIONS when they have to re-run the council elections. £64m that should have been spent on its constituents.

The hard left and hard right are chuckling & rubbing their hands with glee at all this - many for old grudges - my constituents just want their cost of living & NHS sorting out...

'This is not a progressive system, it's a regressive one.' @lewis_goodall explains how the student loan system has 'quietly shifted the burden' from higher earners onto those 'least able to bear it'.

"I'm sick of right-wing losers saying to graduates to stop buying cappuccinos so they can get on the housing ladder." Labour MP Luke Charters has a solution to help students in debt.

💸🧑‍🎓 England’s student loans were sold as “the best debt you’ll ever have”. Now they’re acting like a stealth tax, pushing marginal rates above 70% and holding back growth. Read up about the £500bn problem facing Britain in this essay ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

I left university in 2019 with £49,600 of debt. A few months later, I became an MP and have since received a salary that puts me in the top 5% in the country. 6 years on, the repayments from my salary have brought this total to down to £48,600 - just £1,000 less. This isn't an issue for me - I give away a big chunk of my salary anyway - but if MPs are barely making a dent in their student loan debt after 6 years of repayments, what chance do other graduates have?
I left uni around 10 years ago with a debt of £45,000. After 10 years of continual payments adding up to thousands and thousands of pounds my debt is...£45,500. My peers with rich parents who could afford the fees upfront won't be paying 9% of their salary for 30 years.

Trump is raising tariffs on 8 NATO allies because they rightly support Denmark's sovereignty in Greenland. Destroying our closest alliances to take Greenland — which Denmark lets us use freely already — is insane. Congress must say NO.

I know people are frustrated about the pace of change. I am too. Getting our country back on track will take time, but despite the chaos we inherited, we're making progress. Wages are rising faster than prices. Waiting lists are down. Inflation and interest rates are falling. This year, Britain will turn the corner, and you will start to feel the change we promised – in your bills, in your community and in your public services.
