@bphillipsonMP Student debt is a mess and you think we want to think you pissing around with GC? My god you lot really are so out of touch. Why on earth did I vote for you in 2024. Never again.
There is a myth, very widely held in Labour, that we achieved an huge popular victory in 2024 under Starmer.
In fact we won 9.7 million votes, over 3 million fewer than in 2017 and half a million less than the 'disastrous' 2019 poll.
We won because the Tories imploded in 2024.
@UKLabour Last year I paid of £3000 off of my student debt, it still increased by £7000 to £82000. You are not helping people like me.
I had a full maintenance loan coming from a disadvantaged family.
You have frozen the repayment thresholds and made things harder than under the tories.
@james_jack63 @MAtt08532273572 @ox_anna29 Why you supporting these insane interest rates lol? If the government can borrow at cheaper than anyone else (around 4%) but charges students 7–8%, then it’s effectively making profit on the interest. This is completely unnecessary and unjustified.
@Michael_Mcghee@ox_anna29 No but it doesn’t help the hundreds of thousands like me who didn’t have a grant and should have. They never look at the people already struggling on previous governments decisions.
@hopkinsmmi@ox_anna29 Exactly. I had to take the full maintenance loan of £12,000 per year. Now my £80,000+ debt increases £500 a month just from interest alone.
@errongordon@BBCVickiYoung@BBCTwo It’s horrible you’ve completely ruined it. If you’d gone from this set to the old one, that would be considered a “fresh look and feel”. This feels very dated.
Just seen the new #PoliticsLive set. What a disastrous revamp — from the jarring new opening titles and theme music to the bleak, dated-looking set that feels two decades out of touch. Such a shame for @BBCVickiYoung, the show’s been ruined and is now virtually unwatchable.
The Green Party now has 78,000 members.
Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line.
I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand.

@implausibleblog@The_TUC John Lewis staff also own the business, their bonus was cut completely for 3 consecutive years. This means nothing in real terms for regular shop assistants.
You would never know from reading this that Keir Starmer led the most vicious attack on the Labour left in history.
We were told to leave. We were told we were beyond the pale.
Don’t cry when we refuse to simply fuck off and die.
And it’s Starmer handing No. 10 to Farage.
@McDonaldsUK hi, I went to your Brixton branch and my first order was cancelled with my points removed. My second order I was handed the wrong order and then caught outside as you weren’t letting anymore people in. I’ve now had £28 wasted please refund me.
@AvaSantina Honestly huge credit to you for handling the way Fiona Bruce spoke to you. Found her insanely condescending and biased throughout that entire question time. Keep doing what you’re doing ❤️ I wish there was far more panelist’s like yourself on question time
