Kevin Maguire: "I've never understood why we don't cap donations.. and we allow rich people to buy our democracy" Kevin is spot on, we should cap donations from a single individual at £5,000, and I think the reason politicians haven't done it is quite obvious #GMB

Student loan terms to be made clearer in England. But there has been decades of mis-selling. Why no compensation? £325bn UK student loan debt, £295bn in England. Most European countries don't charge Uni tuition fees. England does. What chance of buying a home, starting a family?

Changes will spell out that governments can change rules and that career choices affect repayments.

I think the Government has really screwed itself here. It’s moral authority is in tatters when it encourages the arrest of peaceful protesters and yet does little to stop paramilitary thugs from causing chaos at our major ports. The Home Secretary in particular has serious questions to answer.
