It's still happening. Two Dads recently with long term coparenting and shared care. Mother messing with order. Dad enforces, Mother takes child to school and gets child to tell school Dad hit them. At enforcement hearing - no contact until lengthy investigations.

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral. I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more. This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either. Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

As a teenager in the mid 1970s, everyone paid 33 1/3% income tax. Life was good. Wages were good, jobs were easy to get, and university education was free. It was conservative governments who reduced income tax for votes, and introduced stealth taxes.

On a Plan 2 Student loan? Why freezing the repayment threshold from 2027 to 2030 is, in my view, a breach of natural justice. A brief audio explainer

Enforcement is becoming harder and harder with Dads waiting up to 3 months just for a hearing. That is 3 months of a child being witheld sometimes for no reason whatsoever, with the other parent just playing the system. Something needs to change quickly #familycourt #PA
