"We make no apology for" is the latest #Newspeak for pushing through an unacceptable, #morally #corrupt #political decision or behaviour. Mostly heard in #KeirStarmer's mouth, when reneging on promises on #tuitionfees, #childbenefits, but now equally used by the #Tories #UKgovernment. Here to justify more #drilling: “We make no apology for taking the right approach to ensure our #energy security". For "taking the RIGHT approach" if that's not textbook bollocks Newspeak 😂 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/aug/03/greenpeace-protesters-drape-giant-oil-black-fabric-over-sunaks-mansion

As the #LabourParty starts (ahead of the next election) to rethink its position on #tuitionfees (having, like the LibDems before them stepped back from a promise to abolition them), here are my thoughts on how we might best understand the discussion of funding students' attendance at #university (both tuition fees & living costs)

Key point: its all about who we think captures the benefit(s) of a #university education!

Here's Polly Toynbee's view on where extra money in #education should be spent & its not on reducing #university #tuitionfees;

while I agree with much of her argument about early years education (which definitely needs re-funding), if as she concludes, we want to (also) expand university education, then reforming tuition fees (and overall HE funding) is also necessary.

In the end; the UK needs a massive rethink of how it delivers & pays for all its levels of education!

#KeirStarmer betrayal on #tuitionfees hangs students out to dry – just days before local elections
.
#KeirStarmer has reneged on another of his ten leadership pledges – the one that guaranteed he would “support the abolition of #tuitionfees“. This is despite the #LabourParty leader firmly assuring party members and the public during the 2020 leadership election that the pledge “will be in a #Starmer manifesto“.

Well I suppose at least #KeirStarmer has dropped his #university #tuitionfees pledge (to make university free) before any #generalelection rather than (like #NickClegg) afterwards.... instead he is promising a 'fairer' solution, with details to follow.

certainly something needs to change, but the Q. is how to shift the cost structure to make it fair(er) without causing further damage to the financial settlement for #HigherEducation - it won't be easy

@zs I was aware of such sadness yesterday at the thought of our loss. I know there will be other hands to pick up the baton, but she was a force for good in Scottish politics, and made better and fairer the lives of many Scots. #BabyBoxes #TuitionFees #ChildPayment #BusPass
