Their assault on the young at the expense of doting on pensioners continues - they are determined to get the youth vote out to vote AGAINST them



The degrees are funded by the person paying for it and brings revenue into the country especially when you have students coming from abroad to study here. Mickey Mouse or not in subject matter it generates money, apprenticeships are funded 95 percent by the tax payer for small to medium sized businesses.If there is a £30 billion black hole in the public finances where is the money coming from to fund these extra apprenticeships they want to happen?

Quite right too.

Poor quality degrees and poor outcomes for the students involved.

The only winners are the Universities involved, effectively funded by the taxpayer as more and more student loans default.

It’s a racket and it should have been sorted out years ago.
 
The tories are now using Trump language in press briefings ffs.

“Sleepy Starmer”, Jesus fucking Christ…

It’s going to get a whole lot dirtier from them until the 4th July. If I were other parties I would like to see billboards highlighting tractor porn, being blackmailed on Tinder, using campaign funds to pay off kidnappers, generally being a bit rapey and grabby grabby. That’s even before we actually get into the complete mess they’ve made of the country since 2010.

This is the most obvious question that the fucking useless BBC fails to ask despite supposedly being impartial.

I know there is a lot to do if/when Labour gets in, but Day One Starmer needs to change the BBC Governors.

He needs to get rid of all the ex-Tory communications directors and Tufton Street right-wing think-tank types currently running it and get back to factual accurate unbiased reporting.

They have to stop promoting unelected extremists like Farage and Tice at the expense of democratically elected representatives of the SNP, PC, Lib Dems, Greens, and even the various independents who have more seats in Councils and Parliament than the private limited company that is Reform. Reform is given millions of £'s of free advertising on BBC

who decides what a "Mickey Mouse" degree is? What stops someone who wants to go to Uni rather than do an apprenticeship applying for another course - there is no cap on the numbers of students.

There are no savings to be made this is another distraction "policy" which will be jettisoned post election

I agree with the sentiment however would not want a Labour Govt directly meddling in the BBC and its management appointments. Better thing to do would be the Govt to just blank them. Just favour making announcements and giving interviews to ITN, C4News and SKY News and just make BBC News irrelevant.
