Labour caps student loan interest at six per cent — but freezes thresholds so graduates still pay more. This is damage control dressed as crisis response.

All her energy bills are paid for, you however can swivel...
Lets design the ,most bureaucratic, means tested, difficult scheme we can because, we don't really want to help anyone, unless it is JP Morgan and we give them a special tax break...
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
hago 16.58 BST Reeves should ditch plan to make energy support package targeted, and make it universal, say Greens In a BBC interview this morning, Rachel Reeves confirmed that any energy support package introduced later this year would be targeted, not universal. (See 8.44am.) The Greens say they disagree; they want every household to get help. In a statement, the Green co-deputy leader Rachel Millward said: 44 For administerial efficiency, and to ensure no one slips through the net, the Green party believes that support with escalating energy bills must be offered to every household. Rachel Reeves says it makes no sense for the best-off households to receive support. If she was really concerned about inequality and fairness, she'd reform taxes to tackle this - including introducing a wealth tax and equalising capital gains tax with income tax. That's the best way, not only to claw back support offered to those who may not need it, but also to raise extra funds for the public services poorest households are most dependent on.
In that way the Government really, really doesn't want to give the Pubic free vaccines unless they really, really have to, so this Government would rather people slip through the cracks than help us through this stupid crisis we didn't ask for.

#RachelReeves clearly detests the #disabled, she is attacking from every angle, she's added VAT to #Motability cars and insurance, as a result the mileage allowed has been halved, the AP has gone up massively on all but city cars which in the main are unsuitable. #bbcqt
That's because we have the worst Chancellor of the Exchequer (federal treasurer) of the major economies. #RachelReeves is killing the #UKeconomy with her policies of tax, tax & more tax - just walk down the high street of any town & count all the closed shops.

A superb cartoon by @ellabaron.bsky.social - You'll appreciate this masterpiece even more when you know the reference to the famous World War II wartime poster 'We Can Do It!' - PM #KeirStarmer (left) and the Chancellor of the Exchequer #RachelReeves #UK + Impact of the #War #Iran #LabourUK
This cannot happen soon enough. #RachelReeves
