Have said this before but these analyses always exclude tuition fees, which are a de facto income tax for everyone but the richest graduates. My top rate of income tax is 55%, not 40%, and it will continue to be until I turn 55.

Young person working all hours God sends just to cover the rent, while paying record levels of tax? Want to ever have a hope of buying a house? Work harder. Over-65 enjoying the benefits of your private pension/dividends/property rent on your latest Mediterranean cruise? Great,

Buried below today's "no mention of HE or students" spending review - Turing (Erasmus replacement) cut by £32m to £78m, and that's on top of the elimination of the £21m it used to give unis to support student expenses. Really has been a fuck you sort of week for young people.
