  1. Replying to

    Coming from a more class privileged background does bring all kind of advantages. But taxing people according to income still most makes :/

  2. Replying to

    cope with the 9% repayments, financially speaking, unless their parents are rich enough to help out. Maybe not true if parents teachers etc

  3. Replying to

    Widening participation is really important. Also importance to recognise someone from a MC background isn't necessarily any more able to

  4. Replying to

    Graduates don't start repaying debt unless earn over £17,775k (or I think £21k if they graduated in past few yrs)

  5. Replying to

    Tuition fees included in that £57k debt, which is a figure for students from lowest income backgrounds whose parents aren't expected to help

  6. Reason it's possible to make this mistake b/c we mix up low income graduates & students from low income backgrounds

    UBER driver aggressive with my 16 yr old daughter. Uber's response? She shouldn't have travelled alone. So young women - don't use UBER.

    what if everyone in the workforce has to complete an obstacle course and then tax brackets are allocated based on your finish time?

  12. Replying to

    What's so hard about just taxing people based on their ability to pay – so earnings and wealth? We really don't need to overcomplicate this

  13. Replying to

    So it's vaguely like it, but actually not really like it at all

  14. Replying to

    (This is vaguely like argument I've been trying to make on tuition fees except I'm advocating equalising not randomly penalising over 30s)

  15. So putting it up just when many people are likely to be thinking about starting a family, grand.

  16. Replying to

    I'm probably going to keep tweeting these same facts on a weekly basis forever, sorry.

  17. Replying to

    NRS social grades really are also inadequate. Call centre worker on £9/hour is C1 so MC, but a self-employed plumber on £40k is C2 so WC

  18. Replying to

    Labour overwhelmingly won with younger C2DE people, particularly DE. Two main weaknesses: - older people - 34-54 C2s (skilled manual)
