@kiel_robinson@andyburnham@UKLabour You can't move up the ladder if you spend the first 10 years paying off interest to own a tiny peppercorn of the equity. Trap them in their first home forever seems to be the plan.
@andyburnham If you're in this position, are you going to pass an affordability check on 97.5% LTV? Interest rates on these loans are going to be sky-high and only set to go up in coming years. Payments will be huge you will own a mere peppercorn of the equity for a very long time.
@GBPolitcs The height of Ed Davy's success should have been teaching children to read in a rainbow coloured shirt in his local library. The fact that he's the leader of a national party just shows how awful this country has become.
@Wibblesprocket@dave43law The 8 women statistic doesn't appear anywhere in UK gov stats. Think they have taken the data below and completely misinterpreted it on purpose to push a narrative.
@Troll2029@JGWorldThoughts People who already have skills, are useful when they turn up and a chance to provide a yes or no answer based on the level of those skills, the amount of need for those skills and how it impacts our current and future workforce.
@JGWorldThoughts@fomo_investor81 My wife is EU citizen, I'm native Englishman. Looking at similar courses recently. My fee would be £10 - 12k, if she were to do it - essentially free.
@ronniethed@JGWorldThoughts Looked at getting trained in a similar industry as an additional skill. My wife, who is an immigrant would get the course fully funded. I, as a native born citizen, would have to pay £10k - £12k for the same training.
