Commentators, columnists and opposition politicians were apocalyptic with claims that ending private schools' tax breaks would overwhelm the state sector.
The data shows those predictions were wrong.

EXCLUSIVE:
Andy Burnham is expected to appoint a former Blairite cabinet minister who is one of his oldest political allies as his chief of staff as he seeks to overhaul No 10
James Purnell, who served as pensions minister, culture secretary, and work and pensions secretary in the New Labour governments of Sir Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, is the frontrunner for the role, The Times has been told
He is said to be viewed by Burnham as a “serious figure” who is capable of implementing his radical plans to reform Downing Street and Whitehall
The pair, who entered parliament together in 2001, shared an office as novice Greater Manchester MPs, with Burnham representing Leigh and Purnell holding Stalybridge & Hyde
Burnham frequently joked that he was overlooked for broadcast interviews in favour of Purnell, who was educated in France and Surrey
Purnell is chief executive of Flint Global, a major PR and lobbying firm, a role that may present issues over potential conflicts of interest in government

@IANSONPJ @MarcherReborn Ah, but he'll do it in a cheeky northern accent, that's worth 2% GDP growth.

@MarcherReborn Surely his plan is the same as any other socialist. Tax, borrow, spend until the entire economy collapses as one massive cluster f#ck?!
English

He hasn’t got a clue - he’s a socialist, they don’t do economics.
If no one stands against him he’ll be PM in less than a month.
If someone does step up (even a complete no-hoper), it buys him time to get his ducks in a row.
We could be in deep trouble here - and quickly

@BritainUnbound I’ve no idea what you mean. I doubt you have any idea either.

Brexiters admit the Boris-Frost TCA has cut the UK’s GDP by 2.5% p.a. That’s £60bn p.a. Cash we could have spent on defence.
In 2016 we spent £8bn on EU membership for a return of £88bn. Johnson really hasn’t a clue about economics. His face & dress say it all.

Ten years ago the people of this country voted to leave the EU in the biggest expression of popular will in our history. We need to stop fearing the freedom and make use of it and move on together. 🇬🇧

So far, the UK government has spent over £200 billion on subsidising renewables, including indirect costs – yet no minister has ever been shown the total. Richard Lyons has built a counter. The meter is running. dailysceptic.org/2026/06/21/int…
