Mr Farage said he was prepared to meet Boris Johnson in the"de-militarised zone"
The party suggested it would go further and reimburse graduates for"historic" interest payments made on their loans. The Brexit Party, which was launched by Mr Farage three months ago, topped the polls in May's European elections - getting 29 MEPs elected to Brussels. Encouraging party members to contribute their ideas, Mr Farage said that instead of a single party conference in September, it would be holding 11 regional rallies.By leaving the EU without a deal, axing HS2 and halving the overseas aid budget, Mr Farage claimed the party would free up to £200bn to spend on economic development outside London.
"Because they are paying interest rates which in the old days we would have called usury... It is outrageous, it is unfair and it has to end.
The brexitparty has NO SAY in uk internal workings! They only joined the European gravy train as they are otherwise unenmployable
They'll say anything.
How long before Jeremy_Hunt is also making this pledge? Nope he probably wants to up them😬
Quite a lot of Leftie Losers below
is it only me, or does Farage look the double of Homer Simpson?
BBC? It's that you? Reporting actual news?
Oh please. They only have one. No deal Brexit!
The Brexit party is coming. 5,000 met last night to meet the first 100 future mps in two weeks we will have 650 mps ready to clear out the swamp in parliament bring on the general election
It seems there is a give away competition going on between UK parties and Tory leadership contenders. 1 thing we know about politicians,, a lot of what was promised will not be delivered and give away tax cuts and spending always has a price to pay in years to come.
Seem to remember Clegg and the lib dems making promises that would never happen( Never going to win election) Had the opportunity in shared power and blew it
That's fine. With my current repayments I'll only be paying £4000 back anyway.
😂😂
Ooooo wow,, big deal. Time to think of our future generations and scrap tuition fees for UK born students full stop.
This isn’t even a case of the loudest shouts being heard ...in a vacuum even quiet rubbish sounds loud. Where on earth have all the politicians gone .. on holiday ?
17m rule 66m crazy uk49m going to suffer
Sensible. Hunts idea was to help those who could afford to pay it back not having to.
But not tuition fees themselves? 🤔🤔🤔Education is an investment, and should be free for all.
Brexit party says a lot of things.
Is the Beeb feeling ok? A positive, accurate and timely report on brexitparty_uk Nice to see!
Rache133 I would prefer that everyone has to pay it back
Anything else? Drive on the right?
I’ve got no interest in the Brexit Party, as it happens.
NotThatDave1 Not good enough. Labour will scrap the fees altogether.
Fat chance!
Still peddling that snake oil then I see Nigel
The Brexit party can fuck themselves in the ear
How about ten years in prison Nigel_Farage for anyone carrying a knife on our streets I'm sure that would be a vote winner.
to be paid for by privatising the NHS - Beware con men on the loose!
Ooooo fabby. No wait scrapping the fees would be better
They'll never come to power so what's the point in making any pledges? brexitparty_uk
Scrap interest on tuition fees but cant spend savings seeking employment throughout Europe. Young uns not going to fall for that bs.
Brexit Party will say anything to get votes. Mind you so do other parties. What do they say about trade deals? Hasn’t the EU just sorted one out with South American countries and it took 20 years. And they want to leave. Madness!
I'd like to be there when Nigel Farage experiences a moment of doubt about what he's doing
Tuition fees as they are now are unsustainable and the current govt know it
Sorry but this is where the Brexit party should be
Copying the other's idea, won't be taking seriously the EU election was a protest vote.
SIR I AM BEXIT OWNER MIHR ME SON OF LOYALD LOYAL ROYAL EU 3U EMPEROR SON MIHR (MUHAMMAD IMRAN HAIDER RAZA AS RAY RICHIDSON MIHR ME
WOW THINK MY HEADS JUST BEEN TUENED
Banks scrapped interest on savings accounts years ago
Like always. They can promiae anything when not in government. Theyre not even in parliament! Why bother listening?
Rubbish party, trying to score sympathy with students - no one is taken in by you!!!!
How about making the charge more realistic in the first place
MargotLJParker Looks like the decided to turn up after all? Makes a change I suppose?
And stop HS2 and slash the Foreign AID budget
Clever, clever move... That's a vote winning policy if ever there was one.
and scrap the BBC licence fee :-)
Any chance we can just scrap the Brexshit party
Scrap interest in tuition fees..... they must mean that they have no further interest in talking about them?
But cocaine will increase in price
How do you fund this when the Brexit Party are happy to damage the British Economy.
I have another idea.... scrap the tv licence aswell 👍🏼 sick of seeing remoaner liberal knobs everywhere and there undemocratic ways!
Kind of implies they think that some people with half a brain might consider voting for them... Think they need to talk to their strategists
Aaron obviously has no investments in that arena
When it comes to paying back the tuition fees, as far as I'm aware. A levy of 2bn of student debt loans was dumped on the taxpayer 2018-2019. So what's actually going on here, who's fooling who. We need clarity about what is actually going on.
We dare not allow this man into power, highest paid whore in the uk with 13k month for rent 5k driver & security while he has plans to sell off the NHS so his pimp can get all the contracts as he own ins co. A real damage to the uk & a disgusting human being so please beware
Would that be an actual policy, I thought they were a no policy party
When it never comes to power?
brexitparty_uk
Can we scrap the Brexit party!
I believe that now brexit candidates are fighting against each other it's a good thing they are offering all sorts of promises that might not have been offered if brexit didn't exist.
How about scrap the Brexit party ?
Um so what's the point in paying it back ? Not well thought out
Well better than nothing I suppose. But a drop in the ocean in reality, students still got to pay back circa £27k typically. If this is the best Nigel Bankrupt Britain Farage can do to win over the yoof, imagine what post Brexit would be like with this lot
Why not a free case of Stella Artois every Saturdag morning as well ...... (not the immigrants though ... obs!)? This rabble of superannuated town councillors and closet racists have zero chance of forming a government so promise away assholes.
This will mainly benefit students from well off families. Most students will never pay their student loan debt, interest rates do not matter for them.
Just the interest? Not the actual tuition fees? What rubbish.
How about scrapping tuition fees?
brexitparty_uk, just wondering if you would pay me back all the interest I paid for my fees, I was the first for fees and the loans and have repaid but if interest is scrapped then can I get that money back or is this a case of age discrimination?
Fake news
What this should say is: Brexit party says it will scrap interest on tuition fees....but only for those who voted for us and donate half their salary to us.
Lol like they’ll be a ruling party
Sick
Are they the Brexit & Tuition Fees Party now? Does their name get longer with each policy?
Maybe should pledge to remove uni fees like Scotland
Would not say no to that....still won’t make me vote for them. I WANT to stay in the EU.
.... Which will accomplish nothing. Still won't be paid off before the loans are wiped clean in a few decades anyway. What a pointless empty policy. Scrap them or shut up.
StopBrexitSaveBritain
'No wonder so many people in their middle to late 20s who want to buy houses, perhaps start families, feel financially they cannot do it,' he said He’s lying to you, the student loan debt does not affect you in this way. Its a debt on paper, that’s it
But they also want to scrap the NHS - they’re not trustworthy
I somehow doubt this will sway the intelligent university graduates who realise how great the EU is for its constituent countries. Most baby boomers aren't paying interest on student loans anyway.
Good luck
Wow! What total bs
Pointless
How do you plan to pay for this?
Sure they will 😂 I’ve had emails from ‘HMRC’ promising tax refunds that were more credible
Scrap to tuition fees
so not scrapping tuition fees?
The old LibDem slight of hand trick.
They can makeany pledges they want, it's not going to make a difference.
Come on. You can't argue against this one
