@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul And you can always make the top of the pile pay more in tax

@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul Not if the fees actually put certain groups like mature students off going in the first place.

@montie @kingbagcarrier @TheIFS @JohnRentoul Its not about students really it's about reducing what the Govt is paying out,

.@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul i really don't get it, how could this policy be suggested? unless really believe only headline £9k>£6k matters

@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul So has someone told Ed and more to the point 'did he listen'? Not something he is famous for

@montie @Ackroydbrown @TheIFS @JohnRentoul How do those figures work? Rich grads pay-off loan (£45K) yet benefit more than poor who don't?

@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul You can spin it that way but its a move in the right direction. Not a Lab supporter though.

@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul tuition fees are basically paid for by a grant you repay if you do well. The whole debt angle is political spin

@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul Similarly that it is a policy for the young, rather than the cynical "Oldies First" Tory tack.

81Beesfan ‏@81beesfan Feb 27

@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul Given students from all income groups believe they have been betrayed by the Govt - a good move.

@montie @TheIFS @JohnRentoul It's like the LDs giving few school meals to all pupils. Benefits kids/families that don't need the help.
