Would you say the Conservative Party's doing the same?

Um, [clears throat] no, I, no I wouldn't actually.

Al- although I think that there are still areas where we do need to e- explain to the country ex- exactly what we would do, how we would do it, and more importantly, why.

Because I think the difference in many ways between Labour and Conservatives is very often they get given the benefit under the doubt on intention, and we don't, uh, in that people, uh, don't always think we're doing it.

And this is the point Luke made about, um, we might be seen as decent managers, but we're not beloved.

So there's this, a sort of sentimentality almost about Labour in that, oh, well, they might fuck it up, but at least they're trying hard.

Um, do you know what I mean? Or, or they've, they've got people's, uh, best wishes at heart.

That's connected to the party unity thing, and w- I think one of the reasons why it feels like we have the kind of preconditions, uh, for further improvement in the polling position.

We inherited their broken student loans system.

Back in March, MPs invited anyone over the age of 16 to contribute their experiences and views on student debt directly through an online survey.

The published summary from the Treasury committee is damning.

Out of 52,000 responses, 40,000 said that the financial impact of repaying their student loan, combined with the level of tax, was worse than they expected.

43,000 said the level of interest and repayment was not reasonable.

And over two thirds said their repayments had a material impact on their financial planning for the future.

Perhaps most damning is over half said they did not understand the terms and conditions of their student loans before they took them out.

Yeah.
