Student Loans; Social Housing; Flapjacks
We hear from Kwajo Tweneboa about his campaign for better conditions in social housing.
Students and graduates who started University after 2012 in England could pay up to 12% interest on their loans from this autumn, because of rising inflation. We hear how it'll affect graduates, and how the student loan system is being reformed next year to increase the amount of loan money that gets repaid.
Yesterday MPs on the Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Committee continued their inquiry into the state of social housing in England. The inquiry is in part down to the work of 23 year old Kwajo Tweneboa, who's been raising awareness about the poor condition of social housing in South London and in particular on the estate of Eastfields. We'll hear the latest from Kwajo about his campaign.
And, following a HMRC ruling that flapjacks made by a company in Birmingham were more like cereal bars than cakes, and were therefore no longer exempt from VAT, we're asking when a flapjack is not a flapjack? Let us know what you think - youandyours@bbc.co.uk
