Labour leader criticises government over increasing costs for students
My sympathy goes out to all those affected by the loss of a loved one through drugs.
I will never underestimate the scale of the challenge we continue to face, including responding to new threats such as synthetic opioids and stimulant use. I can see that our work across Scotland, where we have already supported 300 grass-roots projects, including ‘Back on the Road’, is gathering pace, and I’m grateful to all those delivering vital services.
There wasn’t any spare money knocking around to fund me going to Leeds. I worked before I went and then got by on grants, as many young people do. I vividly remember carefully calculating rent, bills and food. That ambitious and successful students are making decisions about their next steps based on costs and their financial means should shame the Conservatives.
