Great day at @yorkshirelabour’s Policy Summit! Insightful panel discussions from @GoodGrowthFdn, @UniOfYork & @olivercoppard 🙌 Also lovely to catch up with fellow @labtowin candidates for the NPF + our ⭐️ NEC member @CampaignJane

My fourth (and final) @yorkshirelabour conference panel of the day is with the @GoodGrowthFdn on the Great Northern Growth Conversation.

Two very busy weeks at The Good Growth Foundation! From Gorton & Denton to student loans, NATO polling to OBR reform - our research and ideas have been driving the conversation across print, broadcast and online. Much more to come!

Raising the repayment threshold for student loans could save the median earner up to £400 a year. See GGF’s student loans reforms featured by @lucyjmcdaid for @skynews below 👇

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is putting pressure on the government, saying she will cut interest on student loans - something Labour MP's say is hypocritical. Sky's @LucyJMcDaid explains what the situation is with student loans. 🔗 trib.al/i7L0zkK

💰EXC on student loans⬇️ @GoodGrowthFdn calls on govt to cut repayment rate & extend loan period by up to 10 years OR increase salary threshold to £33k Both options cost neutral & could save some grads up to £400 a year Labour MP @Jas_Athwal says 'it's almost like a scam' 🧵

There's lots of ideas out there on how to fix plan 2 student loans - but not all target low- and middle- earners. Our reforms do just that, saving the median earner up to £400 a year. See our progressive reforms in The @Telegraph today.

Good to see the debate growing in @NewStatesman from @meganekenyon 👇 newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…

Plan 2 student loans are becoming a flashpoint in our politics. Too many graduates are paying high repayment rates and rising interest without making a dent in their debt. GGF has been working to explore reforms that would ease the burden on low- and middle-income graduates.

A watchdog designed for the age of austerity struggles to capture the long-term returns of investment in skills, infrastructure and regional growth. Read more below theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Stability is returning to the UK economy - inflation down, productivity up, and real incomes forecast to rise. The next step is turning that stability into long-term growth, which means updating our fiscal framework. GGF's @prafulnargund in The Guardian.

New: Labour MPs have been talking to think tanks including Good Growth Foundation and IPPR to formulate a policy proposal on student loans to present to ministers - my piece for @NewStatesman

The Chancellor is right to prioritise stability in a volatile world. The next step is to reform the UK’s fiscal framework to boost growth and bring down the cost of living. GGF's @LouisaDollimore in @DailyMirror 👇
