Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Those who go to university end up massively subsidising those who don't, and crushing graduates with enormous debt is a ridiculous false economy.

#THETENX5 just got real.
This is official - everything picked on an advance list so far.
I will try to keep it up to date during picking season - it'll also include songs chosen only as HMs.

"Reform's press release notes he was 'first in his family' to go to university – a ‘fact’ that raised eyebrows given his father, who was awarded a CBE by the Queen for his services to the NHS, acquired a Master’s in Business Administration in the 1980s, and a PhD during Tony Blair’s first term."

I presume that Rachel Reeves also believes that it's wrong for people who go to university to bear the costs for those who don't, like, for example, universal credit, etc? Strange position for a member of the "Labour" party to take
