Despite talk of widening participation in higher education of people from lower-income backgrounds, maintenance loans typically don’t cover living costs & students are - by design - often excluded from hardship funds available to non-students 👇

“In the case of the US, CEOs of publicly listed companies earn 269 times more than the average full-time worker. People thought CEOs only earned 18 times as much, and they would prefer it to be just 5 times”

The wage gap and far-right support for redistribution
New study on beliefs and preferences about the wage gap (CEOs vs average worker). When the true gap is revealed, far right voters change their policy views most.

“When students stumble, the architecture designed to retrieve them from failure taxes disadvantage”, leaving students “ineligible for maintenance funding…no support for rent, bills, or food for months”
A particular risk for those “caring for a parent, working nights, or suffering mental ill-health”

'Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme the move was not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions"... This will include powers to ban protests outright, the government said'.

If we want to solve the housing crisis without trashing nature, consider that our current housing stock would fit, twice over, in the space currently taken up by golf courses, which are a sustainability nightmare.
