The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral.
I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more.
This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either.
Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.
@Secretgrassroo2 Turn up to a summer one with my bottom division team. Oppo coach comes and says "Hi, I am ex Portsmouth and all my players are in academies at Fulham, Brighton, Palace, etc".
We go 2-0 down after 30 seconds. Utter waste of time for everyone.
@ChimeraX2021@MattwicksBMR@RMTunion@larry_turner Because Trainline have a cheaper ticket with split ticket than buying it direct on SWR app who don't provide the split ticket option. Then add the booking fee and it is either cheaper or the same price.
FA Cup remains special. It's romance and finance. It's Exeter City being drawn at Manchester City and what that will mean to their finances. Just as being drawn against Manchester United in 2005 rescued their finances. #FACup https://t.co/zALVr05ZHZ
@MartinSLewis@itvMLshow Explain how all the fees and commissions work when you buy and sell using some examples with etfs and individual shares on the common exchange platforms
Taking you all the way back to 1988 with this smash hit. It was a good album with 2 or 3 incredible tunes. This was their biggest. I saw them twice in concert, so I'm told. 🤣🤣🤣
@Feargal_Sharkey Meanwhile my brother is off work sick but having to spend the day trying to ensure his house doesn’t flood for the 3rd time due to their mismanagement
2025 and UK residents are having to pump water from their homes to stop them flooding in a standard residential street because the council won’t clean out the drains. #flood
@JamesMelville Brother terrified tonight. House flooded last year and council haven’t done anything about the blocked drains and gutters that could have helped to minimise the damage. He called them out and just ignored the problem.
@Strickomaster My daughter was 2 marks off her grade. We got her paper and 3 extra marks were found by her teacher who did some marking so sent it off.
Got it back today. 3 marks removed
The standard of the exams and marking is so poor.
Should have also said my wife marked this Summer too!
@StagecoachSouth 1st day to college and the bus is an hour late when no traffic issues.
Is this going to be an everyday occurrence so we have to change to the train with no compensation for a season ticket?
