The secret court that silenced the News Agents...until now

Successive UK governments have created a student loan system which *actively* embeds unfairness and inequality between and within generations.
Finally, (some) politicians are waking up to it. It needs complete and urgent reform. Special News Agents report.

I find it absolutely galling to have read over and over about how the state pension triple lock couldn’t conceivably be overturned/debacle over winter fuel payments while there has been as yet zero political commentary about how exploitative student loans have been for a whole generation.
The system we have now quite literally embeds the income and wealth inequalities HE is supposed to alleviate. It is outrageous and incredible that a progressive govt could describe it in any way as “fair.” Too many senior politicians today think we have Plan 1 loans. They just don’t understand it.

Three years ago we made an early News Agents on the student loan scandal and the sky high marginal tax rates it creates. Three years on, govts since have made it all worse still. We’ve made a special follow up, centred on our listeners own experiences.

"Starmer didn't pick Mandelson in spite of his Epstein connections… He picked him because of them."
Would he have made the same choice if Kamala Harris had won?

Of course the PM doesn’t have the power to unilaterally remove Mandelson from the Lords. But given it can only be removed via an act of Parliament in government time, Starmer is hardly powerless, indeed he is the only person who can make it happen.
