The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral.
I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more.
This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either.
Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

Carol is 100% right.
ReformUK are using Wales to get to Westminster.
How fucking insulting is it? They think Cymru is so small, so weak, so stupid that we can be taken in & used as a stepping stone by the establishment in Farage’s clothing.
Say it ain’t so, Io. #VotePlaidCymru

This is the most important advice for every single person on Earth:
• get COVID as few times and as infrequently as possible
Every reinfection increases chances of worse outcomes no matter a person's current status.
People can always work to avoid a future infection.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Reform’s polling lead is astonishingly brittle.
The headline numbers may look impressive, but the underlying data reveals a fundamental weakness.
4 major headaches for Farage:

FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC.
Go @RepRaskin!! Nigel Farage actually held to account for what may be the first time ever. And he lies in response. I was one of the journalists expressly banned from his last party conference
Democrat @RepRaskin excoriates Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events:
"I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Starmer ravages Farage:
"The honourable member for Clacton is not here... he's flown to America to badmouth and talkdown our country. And worse than that... he's gone to lobby the Americans to impose sanctions. You cannot get more unpatriotic than that. It's a disgrace."

In England, Nigel Farage may be a bit of a cult.
But some Americans spell that differently.
This is bloody good.
Farage gets roasted in Washington 🔥
Jamie Raskin calls him a ‘far-right pro-Putin politician’ and a ‘Trump sycophant & wannabe.’
Funny how the truth lands harder and faster from the US than it ever does from Starmer’s Labour here.

London is thriving. And the right can’t stand it.
They talk down our capital constantly, but the city is measurably becoming a better place to live.

“Long Covid *may* have surpassed asthma as the most common chronic health condition in children” in 2025….lets let that sink in for a moment……we’ve had FIVE YEARS to put in public health measures to protect our kids like clean air in schools and we’ve STILL NOT DONE it…..1/
A new NIH RECOVER study followed hundreds of children under 6 and found that up to 15% met criteria for probable Long COVID—many with symptoms lasting over a year.
Distinct symptom patterns were seen by age group. Poor appetite, chronic cough, sleep issues, and fatigue were strongly linked to prior COVID-19 infection.
The authors estimate nearly 6 million U.S. children may be affected by Long COVID — surpassing Asthma as the most common chronic condition in kids today.

It was a great week to be Labour.
Votes at 16 rightly grabbed the headlines, but there was plenty more good news for progressives.

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets.
What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn.

Growing up my mum worked for the NHS as a nurse. The world has since had a technological revolution, but our NHS is still stuck in the past.
Upgrades to the NHS app will deliver results and reminders straight to your phone – a crucial part of making our NHS fit for the future.

This is a barefaced lie, so everyone's clear.
Not one penny is being taken away from disadvantaged children – not through transitional protections, not through pupil premium, not through related school funding.
Really desperate stuff from a lost party sliding into oblivion.
