YOUNG PEOPLE LET DOWN BY LABOUR
Today is the last day of the summer examinations. August will bring the results when 1000s of young people across Leeds will know how they have got on. But already many young people in Leeds are disappointed because Labour has let them down.
Labour’s introduction of tuition and top up fees was a betrayal of our future – not to mention another broken election promise.
Thousands of young people have been put off going to university. Many thousands more find themselves saddled with huge debts that will take years to pay off.That’s no way to start off in life.
Amazingly, the Conservatives agree with Labour on this issue. They won’t deliver any change for young people and students.
Only the Liberal Democrats want to abolish Labour’s tuition and top up fees. They believe that a good education should be available to every young person - regardless of how well off they are.
Liberal Democrats also want to make sure that young people are treated fairly. It’s just wrong that young people do not get the same pay as older people for the same work. Join us in the fight for fair opportunities.
