The @UKLabour government will scrap the VAT exemption for private schools, generating £1.3 billion that will help fund an additional 6,500 more teachers in our state schools. You can watch my interview on @BBCPoliticsLDN from a few weeks ago when I explained why the government was making the right it decision. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…





A teenage traveller gang who filmed themselves r-ping lone schoolgirls at knifepoint in separate attacks - laughing taking turns - have avoided jail Judge Rowland praised their trial behaviour & said: 'None of you need to go to prison today' 😫Girls just don't matter in the UK

I'm old enough to remember when we had to put VAT on education because there was no money otherwise.

Another funding cut rebranded as a “partnerships network”. If outcomes worsen, it’ll somehow be used as evidence about independent schools rather than a result of government funding decisions. The Sutton Trust will no doubt oblige. @TheScholar44 @IsabelPat1886 @oIIyjm


This is costing the government (ie the taxpayer) about £1.8bn. Instead of gimmicks like this which will not bring down unemployment or support the almost 1m NEETs, the government could have invested this into the SEND crisis or recruiting more teachers or scrapping the VAT on independent schools. No. They’re paying for rollercoasters and soft play instead.
