NEW socialist Labour MP Zarah Sultana has told the Tories to “look her in the eye” and defend the “crippling debt” that working-class students face due to high tuition fees.

Speaking in the Commons during education questions today, Ms Sultana brandished her Student Loan Company debt at Tory frontbenchers, including Education Secretary Gavin Williamson and Universities Minister Chris Skidmore.

“In 2010, like thousands of other young people, I argued against the tripling of tuition fees,” she said.
