BBC News Text:
[It is the first student loan rise in eight years,
the Metro reports, which it says means
the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has made
a "180-degree uni U-turn".

Previously he promised to abolish tuition fees,
the paper says, but now his government
is "putting them up 3.1%".
Sir Keir said he wanted to abolish tuition
fees altogether when he was running
for the leadership of the Labour Party in 2020,
but he warned last year that Labour
was "likely to move on" from the pledge.]
