Any chance Noah Kahan plays considering he is at BST the week after?
Could see him subbing o-rod and lived in the UK for a bit so will know how big glasto is (sadly a Chelsea supporter though).
The thing that sticks in the craw is RPI.
Its a weird thing to fix a loan to and puts the total interest rate similar to an unsecured consumer loan, however, unlike an unsecured consumer loan, the repayment of the loan is guaranteed through PAYE deductions for the vast majority graduates so the risk of non payment is limited to the risk of the student not earning enough to pay it off in full, so it’s not really unsecured, it’s secure in so far as it’s easy enough to model the proportion of students who will pay off and set the pricing accordingly, as they have. They also control whether or not thresholds rise, so can rig it if the forecast is wrong. That way they keep generating nice little loan portfolios each year to flog to investors.
Then the premium on RPI vs CPI in recent years is also caused by decades of failed housing policy, which incidentally also means that both students and graduates pay a kings ransom in rent.
Is there a worse country in europe to be a young person in 2024?
