Penalise the lying bastards by taking away the Parliamentary privilages for a start.
At least you can rely on Starmer to stick to his pledge.

And then?
Put them in stocks and throw rotten veg at them.
Doesn’t sound much of a solution to me. And then?

Have a ratings league where those that display forthrightness and tell the least lies and show the least greed and diligently tend to their constituents are championed and displayed for all to see. Pay them accordingly.
I also think that lobbying ought to be allowed but with strict governance.

A newly formed body called Offpol would rate each politician on the service they provide?
The reality is that there is a percentage point whereby if there are more people than that percentage point not paying back the loan then it would be cheaper not to charge tuition fees in the first place...
It used to be 46%, but that was breached...
So the government simply changed the terms/length of the loan to in theory raise that percentage point...
And a major part of the con is that student debt is counted as an 'asset'!
But then UK governments have shunned the European social model, and care not for it's peoples (or the country's) futures...
Except of course as is always the case, making sure that a few get to make money out of what should be a free public service.
Strange how most EU countries charge nothing or very little when it comes to a University education and they still do very well...
Note that whereas previously UK students when in the EU paid the same local rates, now they have often have to pay far more!
For example here is simple image for those simple brexiteer folks...
(Thankfully all our children will have no student debt whatsoever

It creates a relaxed attitude to high levels of debt. It also limits people's ambition to earn their potential.
"I've got 30k of student loan, so what's another 20k on a car".
"If I go for the promotion, I will just have to pay more off".
Just like Boris did when he carried out the result of the referendum. At least we agree on something.
Or do you mean when they tend to their constituents and only champion it if it coincides with your beliefs regardless of whether it’s a majority of said constituents wishes?

Heathrow would be more relevant.Just like Boris did when he carried out the result of the referendum. At least we agree on something.

The newly elected MP stated: “John McDonnell, yes John, I will join you, I will lie down with you in front of those bulldozers and stop the construction of that third runway.”
Mr Johnson, who as London mayor had supported an air-hub in the Thames estuary dubbed “Boris Island”, insisted that expansion at Gatwick could boost the economy with less environmental damage than the Heathrow initiative.
Training the vast majority to be in debt for life is the plan...
'You will own nothing but be happy' is I believe the goal of the ruling elite!
