@elliereeves Sorry the message is clear, we have had enough already. Worst government in history. No thank you

Brilliant to launch our Local Elections campaign in Derbyshire. These elections are taking place mainly in Conservative heartlands. Communities that have been failed by the Tories for too long. On May 1st Vote Labour🌹to bring change to Britain🇬🇧

@flockerspotter @anaboultertv @RachelReevesMP @EducationNotTax Free Scholarships like Keir himself benefited from? Comments like these which back the policy are the very reason the poorer and disabled kids are now displaced. This isn’t about wealth. Have a proper look at some of these private schools offer. Very few in the Eaton profile.

@anaboultertv @RachelReevesMP @EducationNotTax It doesn’t harm poorer families. No family on free school meals is paying school fees. Private school is sign of affluence.

Reeves was officially warned private school tax raid would harm poorer families, yet she still went forward with it. She KNEW it would hurt and destroy lives and she STILL went ahead. That is not the kind of person I could ever respect. @RachelReevesMP @EducationNotTax @OllyMetcalfe @CamillaTominey telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04/0…

@tigerfish4 @r_a_k_e_s_h @LBC @bphillipsonMP @NickFerrariLBC Oh dear, send help- private education relieves the tax payer of 8.5k per child so you will be feeling the burden very soon as state continues to flood. Only the elite afford the VAT. Then what?

@r_a_k_e_s_h @LBC @bphillipsonMP @NickFerrariLBC It's not a "burden" it's an investment. Children's education is our future. Private taking 7% privileged people doesn't need incentives from government - but VAT is a good idea

‘Private schools will open and close - that’s always been the case.’ @bphillipsonMP pushes back as @NickFerrariLBC suggests charging VAT on private schools is to blame for closures across the UK.

@celticgurrl @PoliticsPollss I think if you were in the situation where it was the only option for your child as no state provision available, you would see it differently. Given the UK is now one of the only countries in the world to put VAT on education, I’d be asking myself why this is?

@Nana33788298 @PoliticsPollss Mainstream schools need improving and so does help for all children that need it. VAT doesn’t change or hinder that.

The government's policy of adding VAT to private school fees will "interfere with the fundamental right to education", the High Court has heard. VAT on private school fees was introduced on 1 January across the UK. Should VAT on private school fees be scrapped?

@question_how_so @anaboultertv @bphillipsonMP Why should universities, private tutors, private healthcare and private nurseries all be exempt from VAT under your philosophy?

@anaboultertv @bphillipsonMP Why should private education be free from VAT?

As I have said so many times, the only ones who win are Labour and the losers are kids. On your conscience @bphillipsonMP nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

@Pedrobigears @CoxyJJ @anaboultertv @TorstenBell Do you or would you use private health care? Just curious as they are exactly the same thing except one has VAT on it now. Education and healthcare should not be taxed.

@CoxyJJ @anaboultertv @TorstenBell You choose to pay for a luxury the rest of us cannot afford. That luxury gives your children access to futures, closed off to the rest of us. suttontrust.com/our-research/e… You expect not to pay the VAT payable on that luxury. Then you whine about paying tax which we ALL have to pay.

As @TorstenBell finished his response in favour of VAT on education for the good of the 93% of children in state school, my 13 year old SEND child sat in the debate watching whispered ‘so that means I don’t count? The 7% don’t count? Did he actually say that?’ Yes. He did. @TiceRichard @RupaHuq @Alison_S_Taylor @NeilDotObrien @EducationNotTax

@anaboultertv @bphillipsonMP @EducationNotTax This party and their politics disgust me!!

January 1st is just around the corner and heres a cheeky insight into what the LA's will be doing. We arent going on a Bear Hunt we are going on a school place hunt - do join in ! @bphillipsonMP @EducationNotTax @anaboultertv/video/7442056546063879457" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@anaboultertv/…

@clairebubblepop And if your child had SEN, disabled, part of the military or was awarded a funded placed at one of these schools or you were in foster care but taken care of by a council place at boarding school and then told that’s it, because of VAT your education is finished 🤷‍♀️

Omg this outrage over parents having to pay VAT on private education. But zero fucks given for those parents who struggle to pay for uniforms or even school meals. Why are those parents told ‘go without Netflix, stop going Costa or my personal fav get a better job’? Fuck #OneRule

@swinfan69 @afneil Just wondering if you have any sympathy for the children in the care system where private boarding schools were funded pre the VAT policy to give them some sort of an education and stability? Or the SEN children on scholarships?

@afneil It is a tax break. They operate as businesses so they should be taxed accordingly. Now quit whining about it. The policy is backed, unlike many Lab policies, by the vast majority of the people. I'll save my sympathy for the 159,000 kids in temp accommodation.

So a tax that no school has ever paid is now being described as a tax break, which nobody ever has before. As opposed to a new tax on education, which is what it is. It’s an impressively Orwellian use of nomenclature. And it will pay for a third of an extra teacher in every state school. Well done. Revolutionary.

@SteveDowdeswel2 @dshensmith What about private nurseries, universities, private health care, private tutors, gambling? Should they all have VAT applied too under your Greggs roll philosophy? Once education is taxed, all of the above are next.

@dshensmith As someone else stated....' if there's tax on a Greggs sausage roll, there should be tax on this.....'

This is not a "tax break"; That is a fundamental mischaracterisation of what you're doing and is NOT something to be proud of!

In Germany, if you send your children to private school, you can claim 30% of the tuition fees, capped at €5,000 per annum, per child as a tax deduction. Meanwhile Britain has become a country which punishes families for going private.

@darrengrimes Keir’s Starmer x 100000000

@Keir_Starmer Shame you can’t afford the privilege of your private education that got you out of your hole to the rest of the UK. It’s disgusting. Champagne socialists!!

Too many people are grafting hard, doing everything right, but still can’t buy their home. Our Plan for Change will overhaul the planning system to build 1.5 million homes and make the dream of home ownership a reality. My government backs the builders over blockers.

ZERO spare places in Years 9, 10 and 11 in schools in Surrey! These are the most important years in any chids academic life when they will be studying for their GCSE, IGCSE, IB, and BTECH exams. Where are these magical places in state schools going to come from @bphillipsonMP?

@debbiephant @NoEducationTax @bphillipsonMP @EducationNotTax All out of envy from the woman who earns 350k collectively per annum and sends her kids to a state school ( the best state school) when she should be relieving the tax payer of her children to that state school for kids who cannot afford private education and need that school.

@NoEducationTax @bphillipsonMP @EducationNotTax My 12 year old grandson was scouted for a sports (rugby) bursary at his local private school. Had the selection day invitation and timetable/agenda. All cancelled at the eleventh hour as the school cannot afford any new bursaries stating new VAT rules. One disappointed young man.

Huge Labour blunder leaves schools and parents in the lurch ahead of January bill hike express.co.uk/news/politics/… Persecute in haste, repent at leisure? @bphillipsonMP it’s not going well is it? @EducationNotTax #EducationNotTax

Yet another consequence of @UKLabour's education tax ⬇️ @STA_HQ, an organisation representing more than 20k UK swimming teachers, has warned that many of their swim schools face closure due to increased costs of up to 30%. "We want to warn you <the government> about.. (1/3)🧵
