@MartinSLewis @LauraTrottMP @KemiBadenoch Why is the old plan 1 being ignored?!!!!! You have to repay till 65years old.

Interesting meeting and engaged conversation today with @KemiBadenoch, @LauraTrottMP and her team (of Plan 2 loan holders). We chatted for an hour about the system & options and hopefully something positive will come of it. Good to talk to the opposition as most of my meets are usually with ministers.
For me, in the short term the most important thing is the govt reverse its freeze of the repayment threshold.

Returned the favour and 'ambushed' @MartinSLewis in my office today with a group of graduates suffering under Plan 2 loan repayments! But good on him for coming over to Parliament for round 2 of our debate on my plan to cut interest rates on student loans. Martin and I don't agree on everything - but we know that graduates are being shafted by the current system, and we both care enough to try and change it. And unlike Keir Starmer, Martin is willing to listen. Once again Starmer didn't answer any of my questions on student loans earlier today in PMQs. It's because the PM knows that under his government graduates are getting poorer and job opportunities are disappearing. Labour have no plan for young people. I do.

@LauraTrottMP @MartinSLewis @KemiBadenoch Why is this only about plan 2. I am on plan 1 where I have to pay till I'm 65years old! Where the threshold has been much lower. I borrowed £19,000 owe over £20,000. I'm going to pay 9% for all my working life!
