Mette F. on SU savings: They benefit from a part-time job

If your parents each earn just over approximately 29,500 kroner a month before tax, and you are set to lose your SU as a student living at home, then you must get yourself a part-time job – and it's good for you. That is the message from Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S), who believes it is a good idea to remove SU for students living at home whose parents collectively earn over 710,000 kroner a year.

Party leader debate 6 Oct 2026

‘We are not Løkke’s and Mette Frederiksen’s useful idiots’

Troels Lund Poulsen, leader of Venstre, will not simply play ball with the government if they want to make tax policy with Venstre – rather than the Red-Green Alliance. That is the message from Venstre’s leader in the party leader debate on the programme “Debatten”. The party is not “Lars Løkke’s and Mette Frederiksen’s useful idiots”, he says. He is willing to agree to tax cuts, but not tax increases, which he believes are being proposed – something the government denies.

The government wants to phase out gas boilers: Martine lacks an alternative

While gas prices are currently rising ahead of winter, more than a quarter of a million Danish homes are still heated with natural gas. But the scrapping of gas boilers has stalled in many municipalities. One of those still warming themselves by a gas boiler is Martine Boye Lund from Holbæk – who, according to the utility company’s plan, may have to wait until 2037 to get district heating.
