How the government became a student loan shark

How the government became a student loan shark

Feb 7, 2026 50:15

Imagine a loan where the Government sets the terms. It can change the terms at any time, and you have no recourse to alter them yourself.A loan designed so most people never clear it, but pay for it anyway. Not because they failed, but because that’s how it was built.This is the system successive British governments have built. In this episode of The News Agents, we examine the relations of our student loan system and ask how can it be that the UK government has built a system that you might say would make a loan shark blush?

Can Keir Starmer save himself from the Mandelson scandal?

Can Keir Starmer save himself from the Mandelson scandal?

Feb 6, 2026 38:31

Keir Starmer apologised this morning for appointing Peter Mandelson as Britain's ambassador to the US. He said he should never have believed "the lies" of Mandelson.He says he understands the "anger and frustration" of Labour MPs. But is he in a position to win back the support of his own party? How close is he to the brink? And - if Mandelson's relationship with Epstein was widely known at the time of his appointment - what is the PM actually apologising for?One of those concerned Labour MPs, Brian Leishman, tells us that Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney needs to leave Downing Street, and serious changes need to take place if Starmer is to stay on as Prime Minister.Later, Emily discusses the infamous Andrew Mountbatten Windsor photo with Virginia Giuffre. It was real after all and the former Prince lied to her when he said he'd never seen it. So what next for Andrew?The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Could the Mandelson scandal bring down Keir Starmer?

Could the Mandelson scandal bring down Keir Starmer?

Feb 5, 2026 49:24

Keir Starmer says Peter Mandelson "lied repeatedly" about the extent of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and said that he regrets appointing the Labour Peer as US ambassador in 2024. But with the relationship between the men well known, questions about the Prime Minister's political judgement are looming. Could this be the moment that brings down the Prime Minister?Later, Sir Brian Leveson on why the courts system faces potential collapse without major reform - and the calls to resurrect his investigations into phone hacking and the media.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Did Peter Mandelson betray Britain to impress Jeffrey Epstein?

Did Peter Mandelson betray Britain to impress Jeffrey Epstein?

Feb 4, 2026 37:24

Things are moving at quite a pace these days, but at the time of writing Peter Mandelson has relinquished his peerage and the Prime Minister has asked the Cabinet Office to hand over Mandelson's emails to the police. The Republican campaign group has also called on the police to investigate Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Will any of this lead anywhere? Or is it all just noise? And why have the Clinton’s now decided to testify before Congress on what they knew about Jefrey Epstein?The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
