"Money expert Martin Lewis has met with Kemi Badenoch to discuss student loans following their clash over the issue on live TV. The government is under increasing pressure to reform Britain's student loan system, which has left scores of graduates with sky-high debts. Earlier this week, while setting out her pledge to slash the interest rate on the loans if elected on Good Morning Britain, Ms Badenoch was ambushed by Mr Lewis, who interjected to criticise her policy."
"The financial expert later apologised for gatecrashing her interview, but the pair appeared to bury the hatchet on Wednesday as they met again to discuss the state of the student loan system. Returned the favour and 'ambushed' @MartinSLewis in my office today with a group of graduates suffering under Plan 2 loan repayments, Ms Badenoch wrote on X alongside a photo of the pair in discussion."
