University Fees
It has been announced that University Fees in England will skyrocket next autumn, requesting annual payments of up to a record £9535 from penniless and jobless students. However, Bridget Phillipson has reassured that a parallel increase to student maintenance loans will be introduced, distributing up to £414 extra annually to support students from less privileged backgrounds.
Kemi Badenoch
The New Tory Leader, who edged past Robert Jenrick in the party membership vote, has not made an ideal impression of herself on her first day, as she claims the Partygate scandal was “overblown.” This left bereaved families during the Covid pandemic insulted. They were forced to hold restricted funerals, with some not being able to have a proper goodbye with a loved one, on the grounds that they had to adhere to the safeguarding rules enforced by, what a surprise, the people who at the first chance they got, breached it, adding salt to the wounds for victims.
Winter Safety vs Waiting List
The stark reality of the under-pressured doctors and staff has sent an air of unease throughout the NHS as patient safety will inevitably be compromised due to the upcoming winter crisis. With the increasing cases of winter viruses, such as COVID-19, Flu, Norovirus, and RSV, aggravated by the shortage of resources, operational staff, and hospital beds, the NHS simply cannot cope with the insufferable strain. Therefore, Wes Streeting urges local NHS leaders to prioritise swift transport of patients from ambulance to hospitals to enable crews to attend to other incidents. Amanda Pritchard also echoed the health secretary's objectives, imploring that the NHS and providers of social care services collaborate to ensure that the number of hospital beds occupied by medically fit patients are discharged as soon as possible.
Storm Warning
Widespread destruction struck the UK as gusts of up to 90mph from Storm Darragh damaged power and electricity lines, wreaked havoc on railway systems, and led to the tragic deaths of two men. Tens of thousands of homes are facing a third night without electricity, with some experiencing no internet or phone signal with merely a gas stove and wood burner to remain warm on a frosty winter night, and more than 259,000 homes were without power at the peak of Storm Darragh on Saturday night. Tributes and condolences were paid to the two men who died as trees collapsed on their vehicle from the turbulent wind. Disruptions and cancellations to train services are also anticipated across the West Coast south route, as operation teams are organising emergency repairs and clean-up.
