Uni kids now owe £100bn

STUDENT loan debt in the UK has soared to over £100billion for the first time.

Youngsters are being swamped by fees which were hiked to £9,000 a year in 2012.

And from this year the bills for studying are set to rise in line with inflation.

Experts now warn that the total bill could double to £200bn over the next six years.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn pledged to axe fees for students.
