"Kick (someone or something) down the ladder" = Đá ai/cái gì rớt xuống bậc thang, qua cầu rút ván -> Chối bỏ, loại trừ ai/cái gì đã giúp mình lên được một vị trí/thành công nào đó với mục đích ngăn họ có thành công như mình.

This is why the first thing on our agenda is for the state to reinstitute the state paying for university education. It is a priority and it will be done by the BLP under Mia Mottley.”
