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.
@BBCBreaking please give us a way to separate notifications about breaking news and ‘top stories’. Notifications all day long about traitors 😂when all I want is breaking news
@lottyburns@Argos_Online Yeah so it looks like it’s going to a store but it’s not, it’s just a code they get to spend. Just looked at Argos replies and looks like it’s happening to a load of people 😭

Leaseholders in my constituency were promised that, under a Labour government, things would change. They are still waiting.
I have written to Angela Rayner to ask when my constituents will be free from this outdated and exploitative system once and for all.
