Scotland believes higher education genuinely matters.
That's why we don't impose #TuitionFees on students.
Fees extracted from students in England & Wales are outrageous - in terms of the principle, the extortionate amounts, and overall societal wellbeing.
Westminster doesn't get it.
#Independence
Kemi Badenoch said that Plan 2 #StudentLoans “increasingly feel like a scam” and that “millions of young people feel they’ve been stitched up”. She should know since it was the Tory-led coalition government that brought them in. 🤨 #HigherEducation #TuitionFees www.bbc.com/news/article...
If the #SNP can give Scottish students free university places without any #TuitionFees then #Labour can do it for English students too
All this bollocks about #StudentLoans and fiscal drag but if university tuition was free they wouldn't need the loans
Nick Clegg screwed up our university system 🤡
Student loans: why is #MartinLewis clashing with #RachelReeves?
#MoneySavingExpert founder has said changes that will lead to some graduates in England and Wales paying more are ‘not moral’
#GreenParty will restore grants and end #TuitionFees

The 9% additional tax on graduate earnings is steep, but the 6%+ rates of interest of many still pay is even worse. The whole rotten system needs to be replaced with direct funding from government. #HigherEducation #StudentLoans #TuitionFees
Insanity

Do remember that the #WarCriminal, #TonyBlair, and #UKLabour brought in #tuitionfees.
We will give free tuition fees to any student named Grant.

F’ck me drunk. New New Labour are just bloody terrible.

5 years ago Keir Starmer, standing for leader of the Labour Party, pledged to abolish university tuition fees.
As PM for about 16 months, he has already overseen one raise in the fee and is now bringing in a system of annual rises.
Hardly abolishing them, is he?😠

Any Labour supporter who spent years dining out about how students were 'betrayed by the Lib Dems' has to shut the fuck up now and for ever.

I’m pretty sure the Labour manifesto didn’t include constant rises in tuition fees? What the hell is going on?! It’ll be £10k a year by the time by daughter goes & I’ve still no idea how we’ll afford the living costs… #TuitionFees
#Tuitionfees in England are to increase by the rate of inflation from next year. Fees have been frozen for a decade or so (bar the recent tiny increase) - with the value of the £ going down, 9k today is worth 6k, & cuts to int. students leaves a significant funding shortfall that's harder to absorb.
#BBC #R4PM
The 50% target for young people to go to university will be dropped.
Probably a good idea. Absolutely nothing was ever done to encourage students into #HigherEducation, but ever-more expensive #StudentLoans and #TuitionFees are a significant disincentive.
#LabourConference #Pointless
No coincidence that those #retiring in 2050 will be the first generation where #studentloans and #tuitionfees were introduced. Maybe people could have put away more if #wages weren’t being eaten up by the repayments. It’ll only get worse for future generations.

Student #visa rule changes, a real terms decline in domestic #tuitionfees, the effect of NI increases, cuts and caps on #FoundationYear fees, increased employer-side #pension contributions, restricted #research funding... The list is endless of government's bizarre assault on the sector.
That's the guy who promised to abolish #TuitionFees at university, isn't it ?
I'm still not convinced the Lib Dems have ever fully recovered from him.

For future growth we need to fund HE sustainably - ie, increase #tuitionfees to £12k to fill the £3k value gap since the last meaningful increase (or replace it with govt funds) & uncap no. of int. students. They are not immigrants so should not be treated as such! Not politically popular but needed
Given #Starmers previous form, my money would be on "Gruesome Sellout"
