need a maintenance loan for the last year, what joe johnson says need a maintenance you will also be out earning a year earlier. this is the point. he says 25,000 is what a student will save by that of sleight of hand because 19,000 of it is the average wage of graduate gets in their first year away from university. that's the assumption that you will learn that in yourfirst broadley, not a bad idea. the idea is it will be available in every subject rather than just if is it will be available in every subject rather thanjust if you, like accountancy, law, journalism, and it gives students a chance to get through it in those two years and it would certainly be cheaper. actually, there are an awful lot of stu d e nts actually, there are an awful lot of students who are feeling that they are not getting value for money, particularly when you look at the walloping great salary that so many vice chancellors and senior university staff are getting. also for mature students, before the family commitments and things, a two year commitment, over and done with, get out early,

but it is a choice you can take and it will be unveiled by the government tomorrow, and joe johnson whol degrees and offers a pitifully low numberof degrees and offers a pitifully low number of courses. this comes at a time when there is an enormous fury over the vast salaries being paid to vice chancellors and senior university staff. because if you introduce fees, you are then putting students in the role of consumers and therefore they will expect more for their money. this is a good way of seeing whether they can get it. the figure suggested is quite significant. it is suggesting that it would save the students £25,000. it isa it would save the students £25,000. it is a bit ofa it would save the students £25,000. it is a bit of a sleight of hand because you would save 5500 on tuition fees although you would be paying 20% more for each year. that it still gives you 5500 and you get this extra money besides you won't have to take out a maintenance loan fee of third—year is the fact that most students get a job afterwards. 19,000 is the average amount. most students get a job afterward

and all the while, the used joe johnson as an instrument to do it. if he were a decent president, he would give the support to joseph e johnston that he deserves. his did not help much in terms of the relationship between the two men. and then johnston's enemy in the confederacy -- there were many, including braxton bragg, maybe especially braxton bragg of the relationship between the -- more about him in a minute. minute. it were at john davis's elbow, insisting that johnson -- you know, if you took all the numbers and added them all, he has 150,000 men out there. he has no excuse to not be attacking sherman and driving him back to ohio. the men in the ranks, bragg insisted -- and he had commanded that army before, so he had some justification for saying what he did, that the men in the ranks were eager to fight, only if johnston would unleash them, and he would not do it. he would not strike a blow. davis could see that johnson had become had, as mary chestnut put in her diary, "the core around which all restless and halfhearted disappointed people

robust enough and be resilient and all the things joejohnson and be resilient and all the things joe johnsonient and all the things joejohnson wants them to be but others might not be. where do they stand in all of this? you can have things like trigger warnings. there is clearly material that people will listen to that they can find upsetting. if they know it's happening, they have the freedom not to attend that particular offering, lecture maybe. but that is different from suppressing views we don't like. there is a real danger we have a tin tyranny of the minority, some kind of thought police, which is deciding what is acceptable and what isn't. but isn't the job of a university. the nus does a great deal of good work over all, but i think they are in the wrong place on this. they should be championing free speech. i am not for blanket freedom of speech, i am for restricted freedom of speech because we have to look at where the law stands in this country to protect against racial hatred and protection for incitement to violence. but stopping feminist by saying most rate this are men or ge

on some of his more later points, we are very keen to pursue the value for money approach, and joe johnsonmust provide value for money for students. can i also say, and the house knows this, the whole graduate student payment system is designed with a deliberate subsidy in place and we are on track with a complicated formula to achieve that. at the moment we have a situation where degrees have become totally monetised, they have a value, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a good, long, hard look to have something like a graduate tax brought in which would remove the idea of one huge debt hanging over those who take on a degree? certainly the noble lord is right that a graduate tax was considered as part of the reforms considered several years as part of the reforms considered several years ago. as part of the reforms considered several years ago. we don't think this is the right approach but we do think it is right that the students are able to take out loans which the noble lord i'm sure would agreed increases the aim of having more disadvantaged people in universities. can the minister n

this is to do with that story were talking about this morning from the universities minister, joe johnsonfree speech, so that they should allow free speech, so allow any controversial speakers to bea so allow any controversial speakers to be a will to speak within academic settings. the daily express, that picture again of the royal couple there. the story there about boxing day sales, they say £a billion will be spent in the shops today. we will be talking this morning about how that will compare to previous years. there is some speculation that, actually, we are not looking too attractive for the boxing day sales. the daily telegraph, this is a story this morning which is connect it to the christmas charity appeal. they say the homeless were denied food left to waste. michael gove has said that much, much more must be done to tackle food waste. producers are incentivised to send their surplus food to green energy plants rather than to charities to feed the vulnerable. lots of stories about the royal family and a couple of others. and sport, it is all about cricket? it is, though we have

do you agree with the basic premise of what joejohnson is agree with the basic premise of what joe johnsong agree with the basic premise of what joejohnson is going to be saying today? i agree with the premise in so today? i agree with the premise in so far as free speech is important. we run free speech in the university rankings. we found last year that 65% of universities severely censor speech. but what i think he gets wrong is what we need to do about that. i think the approach needs to be different. it could be counter—productive. .. tom, we are having difficulty hearing you. we will persist for a little longer and see if the line improves. in terms of the fines being talked about for universities... i'm told we've lost that line completely. apologies for that. we will try to get back to him hopefully with a better line, that was tom slater. prices for many everyday items will rise unless the government focuses on replacing trade agreements which will no longer apply when britain leaves the eu. the department for exiting the european union said it is committed to continuing current t

this is about the universities minister, joe johnson, who is giving a speech later talking about howties and let people make up your own minds. i tell you what, what we certainly don't want to see as the cricket going anywhere other than where it ousted. i'm not going to be bringing you the news. i think we will be focusing on their antics. this is of course tom curren, stuart broad, and jonny bairstow, enjoying some this disease. this was before they got into the fourth test. —— enjoying some festive at ease. most of the back ages this morning would later by pale blue. if you are not a manchester city fan you be sick of the sight of this. this was a very big story, dominating all december. manchester city absolutely dominating the premier league. what can we expect in the next few months? well, things can change quite easily. exactly. iwas months? well, things can change quite easily. exactly. i was talking about how i'm going to middlesbrough later. there is a great story here, in this newspaper this morning. this isa in this newspaper this morning. this is a parrot called rocco ow

and anytime they brought up joe kennedy, and et johnson brought up how the old man was an appeaser, a neville chamberlain umbrella guy and thought hitler was great and he said that in front of cameras and do you think that the kennedys liked that. jack said i need him as my running mate. kennedy didn't care what johnson said, he needed texas and other southern states. and bobby said this guy is not to be rewarded. bobby was right, jack was politics. one was charm and one was brains, together they were magic. separately they were very different people. good question though. good may tread though. as i say in the book, friend can mean anything. enemy only means one thing. it was very clear what enemies are. >> so there's never enough time. >> no-- >> and i'd like to ask for a round of applause. >>. [applause] . >> thank you very much. [applause]
