Nick Hillman: Three options for higher education. Less support for students, fewer of them – or else they pay more

If if the higher education sector must take some further pain in the spending review, then the last option is the least bad.

By Nick Hillman | 10 November 2020 | 29 comments

Richard Holden: My young constituents want to pay less tax and afford a home. We must lift the University debts that hold them back.

A major part of the problem is high tax rates driven by borrowing for higher education courses that they’d be better off not taking.

By Richard Holden MP | 17 August 2020 | 87 comments

David Callaghan: Whatever happened to the Liberal Democrats?

Exactly a decade after forming a government with the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats are languishing on the political fringes – where did it all go wrong?

By David Callaghan | 9 May 2020 | 88 comments

Neil O’Brien: How the Conservatives can do better with younger voters. And remain a compassionate party.

After crushing Labour last year, it might be tempting to rest on our laurels. But we need to act now to keep the extreme left locked out of Number 10.

By Neil O Brien MP | 24 February 2020 | 118 comments

Julian Brazier: Universities in the bottom half of the sector would howl. But here are the reforms we should make to the system.

Surely there is a strong case for capping student applications, not in arbitrary numerical terms, but on the basis of academic achievement at school?

By Julian Brazier | 12 February 2020 | 31 comments

Anna Firth: We need a plan to regain the university seats, and win over the students who flocked to Corbyn

We won the election but suffered badly in places like Canterbury, which I contested.

By Anna Firth | 23 January 2020 | 128 comments

David Davis: How to keep the new working class voters we won last Thursday – and win even more

In this new political battle, the greatest tension will not be left v right or even fiscal
doves v economic hawks.   It will be a battle between creativity and convention.

By David Davis MP | 16 December 2019 | 46 comments

Richard Bingley: Five pillars of higher education success driven by Conservative reforms

Since 2010 the Tories have helped to drive forward transformational change – but Labour’s half-baked plan to abolish tuition fees could put it all at risk.

By Richard Bingley | 20 September 2019 | 22 comments

Hunt interview: “I’m clearly second-placed now to Boris, and ready to argue that we have better choices as a country than he is offering.”

He says he’s best placed to deliver Brexit, slash corporation tax and beat Corbyn. And adds “I am not going to criticise Boris for going to a posher public school than me.”

By Andrew Gimson and Paul Goodman | 15 June 2019 | 190 comments

Alastair Thompson: The Augar Report’s proposals for student loan reform are a big step backwards

The Government should not be heaping what amount to extra taxes on those just getting by. For progressive change, ministers must look elsewhere.

By Alastair Thompson | 31 May 2019 | 65 comments

25 questions about (another) early general election – and the horror show it could be for the Conservatives

The more one thinks about it, the more problematic it becomes.

By Paul Goodman | 19 January 2019 | 186 comments

Will Tanner and Guy Miscampbell: A graduate tax cut would put money back in the pockets of young people

The costs could be offset by encouraging a tenth of students away from low-value university and towards higher-value technical education.

By Will Tanner and Guy Miscampbell | 7 January 2019 | 27 comments

Iain Mansfield: £9,250 fees are bad for students, bad for society, and bad for the Conservatives

Charging the same amount for different courses does not make sense. Fees should be slashed, but with the threshold for repayments lowered.

By Iain Mansfield | 18 December 2018 | 58 comments

Peter Ainsworth: The producers have captured the tuition fees review

This establishment panel will not challenge inefficiency. Parents and business are not represented. Colleges need an incentive to provide a better deal.

By Peter Ainsworth | 5 November 2018 | 7 comments

The Government must get to grips with graduate oversupply

Fresh thinking on vocational and technical education is a good start, but fundamental questions about higher education and the state’s role in it remain.

By Henry Hill | 16 August 2018 | 61 comments
