If the government is serious about

This is unacceptable. We cannot be punished for being socially mobile- this level of interest increase is unsustainable and unfair.
A high-earning recent graduate would incur around £3,000 in interest over 6 months at this level. We cannot stand for this.

For those considering sending your kids to private school, don’t worry, membership of The 93% Club is ~considerably~ cheaper x
I don’t think Labour have properly realised the political risk of this, nor the Tories the political opportunity.
7% of the population went to private school; ~1m parents have a child at a private school. Many of them are thinking of voting Labour. This is an easy reason not to.

👋 Thanks for your kind work
@KrupaPadhyBBC
! We are really proud of what we have achieved so far, and safe to say... we are not done yet! ✊
@The93Club
definitely part of that 93% here and think your initiative is exemplary. One thing to identify a concern, quite another to turn into something positive. Brilliant work, Sophie!
