Steve Hunt wrote:Jeremy Corbyn has insisted he did not promise to write off all student debt while appealing to young voters during the general election.
During the campaign, the Labour leader said he would "deal with" the issue of graduates burdened with debt since tuition fees rose to £9,000.
He told the BBC he had never promised to abolish all debt as Labour "were unaware of the size of it at the time".

If you look beyond the sensationalist headline in the second article you sourced, the labour MP in it said that they would only pursue such a move if it was a feasible. There was no cast iron promise to wipe out all existing student debts

Corbyn expected to keep a promise he never made while in oppostion.

That presumably makes him "a bigot" in Gordon Brown's eyes.
It's amazing, isn't it? Anyone who even dares to mention the word "immigration" is pilloried as a foaming Nazi by the leaders of the Labour party ...... right up until the Tories are in charge and Labour realise that immigration might be a vote-winner.
"We are at war with Eastasia. we have ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia."

Right up until the Tories are in charge & increase net immigration after promising to massively reduce it. Still get some dumb fuckers defending them though.

So immigration is a BAD thing, because the Tories are doing it? Yeah, OK.
It's like "good" AIDS and "bad" AIDS

Making manifesto commitments to massively reduce immigration to win votes and then doing the opposite is a bad thing.

Yup, just as bad as this:
Key ally of Jeremy Corbyn caught on video making pledge to wipe off student debts
Jeremy Corbyn was hit by a growing tuition fees crisis today after it emerged that one of his shadow ministers promised before the election that “every existing student will have all their debts wiped off” if Labour gained power.
The Labour leader has been accused of backtracking on scrapping the existing debt of students run up due to tuition fees of up to £9,000-a-year.
Mr Corbyn insists he did not make a promise to axe this debt which is estimated to total more than £100 billion and scrapping it would blow a huge hole in Labour’s financial plans.
However, now an election campaign video has emerged of shadow justice minister Imran Hussain make a firm pledge on student debt.
He said: “Just this morning Jeremy Corbyn has announced that the tuition fees will be abolished straight away from September if there’s a Labour government, and that we will bring back immediately EMA and also that every existing student will have all their debts wiped off.”
Shadow Minister for Public Health Sharon Hodgson also tweeted on June 2: “Jeremy Corbyn: Labour could write off historic student debts| All those in early 20’s with student debt #VoteLabour”

The video doesn't live up to the headline. Labour's manifesto commitment was to scrap tuition fees not write off debt.
