Plan 2 Student Loans explained.
On a £49k salary I lose £128 a month to student loan repayments.
We were told it would feel like a phone bill. Or a pint.
Phone bill: £12.60
Pint: £6.30
Student loan: £128
That’s not even the worst part.
Last tax year, interest added to my balance was £3,270.
That’s £272.50 a month in interest.
Borrowed: £35,171
Repaid: £16,104
Interest added: £32,627
I’ve paid back nearly half of what I borrowed.
The debt is still bigger than when I started.
A whole generation crippled by a policy.
Students can’t afford to buy houses.
Couples are thinking twice about having kids.
Because £128 a month per person is a significant amount to be paying per person without any chance of clearing the balance.
“Well, we know what AI can do.”
“You think it’s fake?”
“Who can say it isn’t?”

Lady in blue, "Will student loans be the next misselling scandal?" #BBCQT
Oli Dugmore, "My three year course, £9,000 a year for the tuition, on top of that a maintenance loan, I left uni with £37,500 of debt"
"From the day I was charged RPI interest"
"Since I went to uni in 2012, the amount of interest I have accrued is £32,000"
"Was it missold to me when I was told it would cost me £9,000 a year? Yes"
"On top of that its a regressive system"
"If you're wealthy enough to pay the fees up front, you don't get charged interest - if you're rich enough you don't pay the same as me"
"The government changed the terms of the agreement, I call that loan sharking"
Fiona Bruce, "How else would you pay for university?"
Oli Dugmore, "How did you guys pay for it?"
"The state paid for it, didn't they?"
Fiona Bruce, "They did"
Oli Dugmore, "Good enough for you, good enough for me?"

These are all statements that Trump has made to female reporters.
It’s misogyny. It’s abuse. The press should refuse to cover him until he apologizes.
@Keir_Starmer Nothing wrong with the housing stock we have to be honest. A more pressing issue to tackle to increase supply instead would be multiple home ownership.
