    We apologise for an error in our original submission to the OfS free speech consultation, which incorrectly listed "gender critical" speech as an example of unlawful speech, in place of "transphobic". This was a genuine mistake and we have now republished our corrected summary.

    "English student loans have been cut in real terms and are not enough for some to live on" ⬇️💷 We agree w/ @MartinSLewis. Universities are providing extra support to students but maintenance must rise in line with inflation. More analysis & examples👉tinyurl.com/4c5zwpn5

    The budget is just 6 weeks away. Today I sent the Chancellor, @Jeremy_Hunt a letter, on his request, to ask that he fixes: - Unfair Child Benefit rules penalising single income families - The Lifetime ISA penalty hitting young 1st time buyers - Above inflation mid-contract
    This is a long letter, so there are not enough character rules to reveal it in Alt Text, however a screen reader accessible version is here... https://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/2024/01/martin-lewis--letter-responding-to-the-chancellor-on-lifetime-is I hope that helps.
