When all individuals have the opportunity to fulfil their potential everyone in society benefits. Working people without degrees, whose taxes paid for the current MPs' higher education are rightly angry that the same opportunity is being denied to their own children and grandchildren. If the value of a degree is only the level of salary it can command then income tax is the fairest way to reclaim the cost.

Though most MPs are too old to have experienced this firsthand, a degree is now a necessary requirement for most middle-class entry-level jobs, and one of the few tools left of social mobility for the poorer members of society. Ask your children and your grandchildren: with these cuts you have mortgaged the country's future against its present.

Even worse not allowing students to repay early without a penalty. The government is behaving like loan sharks.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

Higher education benefits both the individual and the state. For those who benefitted from subsidised higher education to treat it as a privilege is to ignore their own debt and the importance of education to society. It presumes that knowledge can and should be the province of the privileged few.
