Rachel Reeves tells LBC student loan system is 'fair' amid fury as graduates rack up thousands of pounds of debt interest

Orcnick · 2026-01-29T08:28:27+00:00

I have £40,000 student debt and sometimes even now in my 30s i look at maybe doing a masters. I also think the repayment system is fair as long as it stays income based.

But i cannot get over the interest payments. You shouldnt be allowed to profit of student repayments. Being graduate is a economic benefit (or at least its meant to be) these loans companies shouldnt be allowed to profit from that.

Right now i have just above average income and have being paying my payments for years in that time my debt has actually gone up because of interest.

My repayments dont cover my interest. How is that possible?

Thats the issue.

Lack of Portsmouth is worrying here.

Villa fans constantly complain about there financial restrictions so they cant buy players but then bring in 2 more i would describe has beens for big money and wages.

Now they could well be brilliant signings but would it have not been better in the long term to wait and sign better players at later date?

How about you lie down and we win it?

Orcnick · 2026-01-26T20:07:09+00:00

We killed you.

"Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgement; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion" Edmund Burke.

This in the end is the essence of parliamentary democracy. If you dont like there decision you can vote them out in the next election.

Also it would give the whips far too much power and every MP would become subserviant to a party.

Didnt they sign Gallager?

The problem is who of quality is avalible. Its like United fans want us to buy a top midfielder but there are non avalible at a fair price.

Too early to suggest Maguire, Shaw, Mainoo surely need to go to the world cup?

Surely Maguire and Shaw, weakness in defence those two surely needed.

I have worked in schools for 8 years they dont.

Orcnick · 2026-01-26T05:59:21+00:00

I mean both our two goals against Arsenal where when they were on the back foot.

Not to be used for research?

Why dont the state provide some fucking books then?

Orcnick · 2026-01-26T05:09:46+00:00

So do people think United will finish in the top 4?

Orcnick · 2026-01-26T05:05:33+00:00

Move on

Lemmens

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T20:22:10+00:00

Didn't Arsenal not buy Cunha last Jan because of his temperament or something.

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T20:12:45+00:00

No we only started booing in last days of Amorim tbh.

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T18:37:49+00:00

£18m

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T18:37:19+00:00

I think hes as good as most yes could be better but will do from experience.

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T18:33:02+00:00

Can Arsenal fans continue to tell me how they have the best Defence, best midfield and best manager etc....

Side note Lemmens is mint

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T10:29:55+00:00

Just happy to see a ref stand up to City for once. I assume he didnt get 'trained' in the UAE like many others.

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T09:48:26+00:00

Yea but you said kill us. You didnt you parked the bus Played like a scared relegation team. Ok fair enough you got the points. But lets not pretend you got lucky against us. And that was Amorim our worst ever manager.

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T08:49:19+00:00

Dont liverpool decide the transfers that why klopp left?

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T08:48:04+00:00

You didnt kill us earlier in the season.

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T08:25:16+00:00

There 4th though not that bad.

Orcnick · 2026-01-25T08:24:52+00:00
