Corbyn slams PM over sneaky axing of student grants

JEREMY CORBYN accused David Cameron yesterday of sneaking behind poor people’s backs and hitting them with policies unannounced in the Tory manifesto, after the government scrapped student maintenance grants.

During Prime Minister’s Questions, the leader of the opposition attacked the Conservative Party for burdening young people with up to £50,000 in education debt.

The Labour Party also warned that the government might seek to privatise student loans next.
