    “The first thing university leavers see when they log in, in a large font, is the amount of ‘debt’ they owe. This is demoralising, damaging and dangerous. Owing £30,000, £300,000 or £3m makes no difference to your annual repayments.” Bravo, @MartinSLewis

    We need laws to ensure political campaigns are subject to at least the same standards of truth as washing powder adverts.

    And, heinously, there are extraneous apostrophes in the video (“1sts and 2:1s” not “1st’s and 2:1’s”) and no citations for your extraordinary claims. If I gave you a 3rd for this nonsense, well, that WOULD be artificial grade inflation.

    “You have sat there too long for all the good you have done, in the name of God go” Tory MP David Davis says “I don’t know what he’s talking about” Boris Johnson replies “I take full responsibility for everything done throughout the pandemic” #PMQs bbc.in/3IjmpBX

    Where is the evidence of *artificial* grade inflation? The research simply hasn’t been able to show improvement beyond higher standards. Even if inflation were artificial, 1st step to stopping it wd be to address DfE policies that make unis compete w/each other simplistically.

    Not wrong, @MartinSLewis, but I fear this tweet will not age well.

    Uxbridge voters will also want another one to remind them that he promised to lie down in front of the Heathrow bulldozers, then didn’t even vote against them.

    “It’s remarkable for a government that asserted there was no power for the supreme court to hear this case, then to ask it to do so… and to spend so much public money on trying to blind MPs’ eyes to the options before them.” Well said, @JolyonMaugham theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

    League tables were never designed for the purpose of deciding who deserves a visa & they're certainly not fit for it. This policy shows the same level of insight about HE that leaving fridge doors open to combat global warming shows about physics. 🧵 1/19

    It’s so unfair. Being lactose intolerant shouldn't be about arbitrary definitions. It’s just something you feel in your gut.

    After graduation I started a business which now supports 10,000+ school-leavers each year. It took around 5 years before I dared pay myself £25k. This is such a bad move for business enterprise. gov.uk/government/new…

    Cutting fees for arts and social science degrees, but not STEM, would be bad for courses across the board, for students and for taxpayers. Here's why... #HEReview 1/13
