Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer speaks to residents about the impact of the cost-of-living crisis and rising mortgage rates during a visit to Worthing, West Sussex
The Opposition leader, who studied law at Leeds University before postgraduate studies at Oxford, said students are being forced to decide on their future because of financial issues.“I do think the current scheme is unfair and ineffective and that is why we will change it, so the current scheme will be changed by the incoming Labour government and we will set out our plans,” he told LBC.
Sir Keir Starmer said would-be students felt ‘completely trapped and choked by what this Government is doing to them’ “Going to Leeds to study was a turning point for me. It will be a deep betrayal if one of the legacies of this Tory Government is university, apprenticeships and skills becoming the preserve of the wealthy.”
