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.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

It's physically painful to watch society get less and less intelligent, more evil, weird, and devoid of empathy every single day.

[Jake Atkinson @JacobLAtkinson]

Billions of us (mainly young people) have been denied a future after decades of inaction. Fossil fuel giants, lobbyists, aligned vested interests & the right have enriched the wealthy whilst killing any meaningful climate action.
Ahead of us: higher prices, conflict, famine. Or…

Please cancel my student debt 🥹🙏🏾

[Carlos @CarlLaverick]

I’ve been repaying my #studentloan for 10 years. I graduated owing £26,000. Today I owe £28,000. I pay £190 a month through my salary, but £220 is added in monthly interest. I’m paying every month, yet the balance keeps increasing. How is that fair?
