IMPORTANT PLS SHARE. It's rumoured the English Β£9,250 tuition fee cap may be raised this pm for the 1st time in 8yrs, as University's finances are strained. As student finance misunderstandings abound, I've bashed out a few notes to help... 1. Higher tuition fees WON'T change what most pay each year. For most, they're paid for you by the student loans company and you repay afterwards only if you earn over the threshold. The amount you repay each year (9% over the threshold) solely depends on what you earn not on what you borrow. 2. Increasing tuition fees will only see those who clear the loan in full over the 40yrs pay more. That is generally mid-high to higher earning university leavers only, so the cost of increasing them will generally be born by the more affluent. Most lower and middle earning university leavers will simply pay 9% extra tax above the threshold for 40yrs (and higher tuition fees won't change that) 3. The rise is tuition fees is likely to be trivial compared to the changes the last govt made for 2023 starters. 2023 starters had their repayment thresholds dropped to Β£25,000 (from Β£27,295/yr) and had the time they had to keep repaying for (unless cleared) extended to 40years from 30years. So these higher annual repayments for longer, increased by over 50% the amount many graduates will eventually have to pay back for going to university. Yet they were almost stealth changes because people can't intuitively feel the seismic impact. Changing tuition fees is a more obvious rise, but in reality has far less of an impact on the amount most will repay (though combined with the 2023 changes it does certainly up the cost). 4. The biggest practical problem for students isnt tution fees (even if raised) its the fact maintenace loans aren't big enough. English maintenance loans have not kept pace with inflation. I'd urge the govt to couple the tuition fee loans with bigger living loans - if not it is a real risk to social mobility, with those from the poorest backgrounds likely to be worse affected. I could write more, but will stop here, hopefully this gives an idea the issues are less straightforward than many feel.

Dear friends, I wanted to share an update with you all regarding Jake Fahri, the man responsible for Jimmy's tragic death. Recently, his parole hearing took place, and it has been decided that he will be released in the next few weeks. Many of you may have already come across this news. Anticipating this outcome did not make it any easier for us, and upon hearing the news yesterday, it resurfaced all the emotions from that fateful day, May 10th, 2008. Some may argue that he should remain inside for life. However, we must hold onto hope and pray that the parole board has made the right decision and that Jake Fahri will no longer pose a threat to our communities. Only time will reveal the truth. In spite of these challenges, our message remains unwavering. We choose forgiveness, peace, and hope. Jimmy's legacy will live on through our work in promoting the good in young people. Thank you all for your continued support. Margaret and Barry x #JimmyMizen

Friends, many times throughout Holy Week, I thought of my mentor, Cardinal Francis George, and one of his many memorable comments: β€œEverything is permitted and nothing is forgiven.” Read my new article here: wordonfire.org/articles/barr…

Jesus went to the cross and died. This means so many things that are hard to explain. My friend, when she was 4 years old, stood in front of a painting of the crucified Jesus and wept for hours, uncontrollably. Her parents tried to comfort her by minimizing the event..🧡

So how do I really #prayforTurkey & #PrayforSyria? Thousands are dead in these two great Bible lands and it’s natural to feel helpless - wanting to pray but not knowing how...
