Govt wrong to keep the Plan 2 student loan threshold frozen at £29,385 for three years.
This means more graduates on low incomes paying a 37% marginal tax rate and no effort to repair a breach of trust.

Dual income pensioners bringing in sub £70k will receive a winter fuel stipend.
Bizarre when you consider graduates/millennials/young families will earn far less (thank you stagnating wages) and receive no help.
Is this policy designed to help people, or to appease the press?

This is an essential read for anyone involved in NAI cases. I was fortunate to be before an attentive & experienced judge that fully supported my right for M to cross examine the experts. This was the consequence of that respect for the parents Art 6 & 8 rights. Family reunited.

Have said this before but these analyses always exclude tuition fees, which are a de facto income tax for everyone but the richest graduates. My top rate of income tax is 55%, not 40%, and it will continue to be until I turn 55.

I pay an extra 15% tax each month because I went to university.
Now I’m in my 30s, I’m seeing more clearly how our student loans system helps widen, not close, the gap..

Not defending the hair-raising first instance judgment, but neither the tweet nor the headline makes clear that the Home Secretary successfully appealed this decision. I'd be v surprised if he isn't deported given the appeal judge's comments.

can't say im a bit fan of the increasing pathologization of totally standard behaviours where medical terms are wrenched out of context to now all refer to You, God's Most Precious Angel And Incredibly Smart Gifted Child Who Is SO Brave
If you were a big reader as a kid, you were disassociating.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While, technically, being deeply engrossed in reading is an example of mild dissociation, this incorrectly applies the psychological context of coping with stress/trauma or struggling with psychosis. Pathologising normal behaviour is trivialising to those with real disorders.
