All I want is a functioning national government which delivers on its promises and places individual ambitions on the back seat. Endless public bickering, side stepping and power struggles lead to dysfunctional government, mistakes and show of weakness to the world.
Just stop it and govern!

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.

The student loan system is not fit for purpose. It punishes those who take out loans with perpetual debt at an eye watering interest rate. It must be changed asap

This sets out I detail how the student loan schemes work, how they are designed to keep young people in debt, often penalising the poorest.
I wonder @newsagents.bsky.social after Osborne bumped up fees and the loan system whether his pay masters at BlackRock have anything to do with this?

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.
