“We will make sure maintenance grants are reinstated,” said Hobhouse. “The one thing that’s made it so incredibly difficult for young people to look to the future is the interest that you pay on the tuition fees was introduced after the coalition government by this Tory government – and that has to stop.”

“At the moment both the Labor party and the Conservatives have gone off to the extremes. Whether or not that will change in the future, it’s very difficult to get involved into hypotheticals. ”
