Labour has walked away from its clamo that graduates earn £400k more over a lifetime than no graduates and Bill Rammell's claim that withouth top-up fees an additional "3p or 4p" hike on the standard rate of tac was always ludicrous. It would take a mere £1 a week for each taxpayer to replace the £1.4 billion top-up fee receipt. Thats a much better idea that targetting graduates who are already 10s of £1000s in debt top-up fees should be scrapped in the entire UK. period.
