Ed Miliband MP, Labour Leader Vows To Slash Student Fees

Ed Miliband announced a Labour plan to reduce tuition fees from £9000 to £6000, aiming to alleviate student debt and increase university access. The plan includes increased maintenance grants for the least well-off, funded by a tax rise on pension pots. This policy has sparked a generational divide, with Labour appealing to youth and Conservatives to the elderly. Critics argue the plan is unsustainable and question Labour's ability to deliver on their promise. The policy is seen as a move to regain trust in politicians, especially among young voters.
