I’m not convinced that former students sit on 25k a year jobs to avoid paying 9% of earnings above the threshold, any more than people who could earn into the 40% tax bracket allow their careers to stagnate to avoid the marginal tax increases within it.

25k isn’t going to go very far starting out in 2025 Britain unless the bank of mummy and daddy are buying their home for them. Might buy the odd avocado and toast or a Netflix subscription but not Sky Sports.
