Shameful burden

A FEW weeks ago, I mentioned the outrageous levels of interest being charged on student loans. now the subject is shaping up to be a political hot potato.

Currently set at 6.1 per cent, the rate is way over the Bank of England’s base rate, which is bumping along at 0.25 per cent.

unless the Tories want to risk alienating an entire generation, addressing this injustice should be a priority for the Chancellor.
