Michael says: "Labour's narrow victory is a defeat for poorer students who wish to go to university. The Government's concessions will mean nothing for poorer middle class families such as the son or daughter of a postman. Meanwhile all the evidence shows that students from poorer backgrounds will be deterred from going to university. Britain needs university students with ability, not just money. This result is hugely disappointing and is a betrayal of parents, students and Labour voters in Staffordshire who thought they could believe the Labour manifesto."
