University tuition fees to increase in England for first time in eight years

Urrrgh. I'm never voting Lib Dems again.

Ugh lucky me, I just started a 6 year course

Bloody lib dems at it again.

Are they going to put up the maintenance loan up as well? Or at least moved the threshold for when ti starts cutting off to account for fiscal drag?

I get that the student loan book is wildly out of control, but it just becomes ladder pulling if you don't address funding for those at or near the bottom of the ladder.

The proper way to address the student loan books' massive gap between what will be paid and what won't be paid back is to significantly reduce student places. It's hugely unpopular, but this debt time bomb can't just be left to fester while they tinker round the edges.
