Students in England graduate with average £53,000 debt.

Total debt £266bn, up to 7.3% interest.

Most European nations don't charge university tuition fees, England does.

People penalised for education, can't start family, business.

Abolish uni fees.

Absolutely incredible twist in the plot here.
“If they’d explained everything about Brexit, I’d probably have voted Remain!”

@lewisgoodall.com visits The Talbot in Blackpool, the UK’s first Reform pub, where the owner regrets Brexit - but stops short of blaming one of the key figures who sold it to him: Nigel Farage.
