Keir Starmer and tuition fees, a timeline:
1982: goes to Leeds for a free law degree
2017, 19: gets elected as a Labour MP on manifestos promising free education, on which he signed off
2020: gets elected Labour Leader pledging to abolish tuition fees
2024: raises tuition fees
"What about university tuition fees then? Will you remain committed to scrapping them?"
Starmer "They're all pledges Andrew, so the answer to these questions is yes."
"So university tuition fees being scrapped will be in a Starmer manifesto?"
"Yes. That's why it's a pledge."
If you're old, Labour takes away your winter fuel payment.
If you're young, Labour hikes your tuition fees.
If you're sick, Labour will freeze your benefits.
Labour will fail you.
🔴Prince William: Homelessness
"A man with over 30 family homes - some of them literally palaces - is starring in a documentary on how to end homelessness. You couldn't make it up." - @David__Osland
Irony is not dead.
@KirstieMAllsopp Oh no. How terrible for the owners of great estates...tbh I feel more sorry for the pensioners being frozen this winter thanks to her.
Yaxley-Lennon: “I will clear my name. I will not go down without a fight and I will take the establishment down with me. I will not be silenced and I just need your donations to keep me out of prison.”
Judge: “How do you plead?”
Yaxley-Lennon: “Guilty, your Honour.”
To be clear, there has been no cost of living crisis for the ultra-wealthy.
Indeed, many have seen record increases in their wealth since 2020
Same for Big Oil, Supermarkets, Tech Companies, Private Healthcare, etc.
Money made here should be taxed here.
Wealth tax now!

Thames Water receives £3 BILLION loan to help with its debts for another year
