Do most people know what an utter scam student loans are? Students pay back vastly vastly vastly more than the cost of their degree and all that profit is wasted, it doesn’t even go back into funding education or health or anything, just to Tory donors’ profit bags.

“I also have an English student loan, and they may as well call it a graduate tax, because there is no earthly chance of me or apparently even a doctor ever paying it off. It just grows. Except, of course, that the government sold my debt, so it's going to a private company now.”

Gove's apology goes a step further. Governments have previously accepted a failure of oversight of the system of building regulation, the implication being that inspectors failed and they failed to stop them. They have resisted directly accepting their guidance was flawed:

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, I'm thinking about this little boy, the same age as my kids, proudly showing a flower to another child, outside a gas chamber at Auschwitz, where they were all murdered moments later. It is so important for us all to remember what happened.

Police out in Stratford harassing delivery riders again. They are checking batteries on e-bikes, but could do more

You have to stop if you're riding a bike and they tell you to, but you don't have to answer any questions about your nationality or immigration status.

Petition: Unlock Social Housing: Scrap bizarre ‘hope value’ system to build social housing

Target: Michael Gove MP, the Secretary of State for Housing Petition ask: Scrap ‘hope value’ because it makes councils pay so much for land they can’t build social housing Right now, land is so expensive that it’s very hard for anyone to build genuinely affordable, desperately needed social homes. One of the reasons land is so expensive for councils is because of a bizarre old rule called 'hope value'. Councils can make landowners sell their land to build much needed homes for our communities - but they are then forced by law to pay hope value.
