@MartinSLewis And this is being put in place from April 2026 rather than 2027. Madness.

@MartinSLewis Worth mentioning for brits abroad, the threshold is actually being REDUCED in countries like Germany, to below the minimum wage. Overburdening those without a voice theguardian.com/money/2026/feb…

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral. I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more. This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either. Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

@sammyresartus @flag_posting Over half the country want to keep it as is, think this is a fair compromise

@mathganguk @flag_posting Cause there’s a gigantic Union Jack in the corner right there, not sure if you’ve spotted it

Dragging the flag debate even longer with this flag proposed for New Zealand during the 2015 referendum.

@lostboys @Keir_Starmer I’ll take it if you’re complaining

@Keir_Starmer waow from an average of £298 to £250.. think of all the things i cant buy with that extra £4 per month

We're capping ground rent at £250. That means if you are a leaseholder, and your ground rent is more than £250, you’ll be paying less. This will make a huge difference to homeowners and will ease the cost of living for people across the country.

Horrifying reports and images coming out of countless protesters being killed across Iran. Reported death tolls range from 2000 up to 6000 people killed, but definitely all in the four digits.

Ukraine is one of the simplest black and white geo-political conflicts. Many conflicts are not so black and white but it is objectively true that Russia invaded Ukraine in an entirely unprovoked & illegal war of imperial aggression. Anyone who can't see that is immoral.

One of the biggest and most toxic pro-Russian social media accounts in Romania, one that was incredibly active during the Romanian elections when a pro-Russian nearly took over the country.

Got one

This is not a peace plan for Ukraine virgin.com/branson-family…

The emerging proposals to end Russia's war against Ukraine must take into account the fact that Russia is a country that does not honor agreements. Each and every peace plan aimed at ending the war in Ukraine started by the Russian Federation must be accepted in Kyiv. It is Ukraine that has fallen victim to Putin's criminal aggression, and it is the Ukrainians, with the support of the United States and the EU countries, who must have the decisive voice in peace talks. Any arrangements concerning peace and security of Europe can only be made with the participation of all interested parties. The price of peace cannot in any way be the achievement of strategic goals by the aggressor, and the aggressor was and is the Russian Federation.

Russians are now proudly sharing the footage of their attack against a UN convoy in Kherson yesterday. They don't claim it was a case of mistaken identity, instead, they insist that the convoy was military in nature and even if it wasn't, they have "banned" any vehicle movement.

A humanitarian convoy carrying hygiene items, medications, and other aid to war-torn Bilozerka in the #Kherson Region was attacked this morning. 📹 Watch Andrea de Domenico, Head of @OCHA_Ukraine, who accompanied the convoy, speak from the site🔻

@tomhfh Also the worst periods of the last 14 years

When did the Conservative Party actually have a Parliamentary majority over the last fourteen years? May 2015 - May 2017 December 2019 - May 2024

@Rebel44CZ @wartranslated Would agree, Babis is much less the problem than his potential coalition partners

@wartranslated FYI: ANO will apparently have 80 seats, not 84 and IMO relations with Orban are overstated.

Andrej Babiš's party won Czech parliamentary elections but lacks majority with 84 of 200 seats. Babiš previously threatened to withdraw from the Czech ammunition initiative for Ukraine and maintains close ties with Viktor Orbán and Robert Fico.
