MP zarahsultana calls out Boris Johnson over crippling student loan debt

University certainly shouldn’t be sold as the be all and end all , but higher education should always be available as an option for young people, regardless of their social class.

Directing her speech to universities minister Chris Skidmore, Sultana said: “In 2010, like thousands of other young people I argued against the tripling of tuition fees. But the government ignored us. And now I currently have around £50,000 of student debt.” “The current student finance system removes financial barriers for those hoping to study,” he said. “The government reviews support for students annually and has recently announced a 2.9% increase to maximum grants and maintenance loans for the 2020/21 academic year and this takes support for lowest income students to record levels.”

Trouble is she is like many newer Labour MPs - keeps pushing the working class agenda at the expense of appealing to the country. Many middle class people are not Tories but we are treated as such cod we don't fit into their agenda.
