Amazing

@KernowDamo @jessgill03 Parents working and paying for their children exists.

@jessgill03 So child poverty must continue because of you're migrant obsessions? I wouldn't go talking about others as evil...

Rachel Reeves is evil. Scrapping the two child benefit cap will just accelerate the demographic replacement of native Brits. Only 14% of white British families have three or more children compared to 40% of Pakistani and Bangladeshi. Plus they’re 2-3 x more likely to be unemployed than the white British population so we’re the ones funding it. With tax rises, this is going to make it impossible for white British to have a children. You’re funding your own replacement.

@jessgill03 Those on Universal credit for 2 kids will now receive even more benefits for multiple kids. Even if it was just for white British kids its the wrong people having more kids. We need to encourage middle class families to have kids not those already on benefits.

@1972_rickyb @jessgill03 Rage bait cuntery.

This “replacement” stuff is racist nonsense. The two child cap hurt kids across all backgrounds, scrapping it isn’t some plot, it’s correcting a failed policy that drove families into poverty. Different communities having different family sizes isn’t a conspiracy. Stop blaming minorities for wider economic failures.

@1972_rickyb @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives No loopholes have been closed. You have bought talking points.

That’s not accurate, Reeves isn’t hiking taxes on ordinary workers , most extra revenue comes from closing loopholes, tackling avoidance, and ending non dom perks, not raising basic taxes. The claim of a “vast welfare giveaway” doesn’t stack up either, rising costs are mainly due to inflation, pensions and disability payments, not new Labour schemes. And under the Conservatives, the tax burden hit a 70 year high, national debt doubled, and housing benefit ballooned as rents spiralled.

Rachel Reeves is hiking taxes on hard-working people to fund a vast welfare giveaway. Britain isn’t working… because Labour thinks living within your means is optional. Only the @Conservatives have the plan and the backbone to put that right.

@WileyWindyMoor1 @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives ✔️ closed loopholes for rich landowners avoiding IHT -- gosh the cringe, this is making all small private business owners make their business part of IHT. Keep up slow coach and read the real policy

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives More cat calling! Labours actual record: ✔️ no rise in income tax ✔️ no rise in employee NI ✔️ no rise in VAT ✔️ kept Winter Fuel Allowance ✔️ kept triple lock ✔️ closed loopholes for rich landowners avoiding IHT Plus more good news to come for workers in the budget.

@RussInCheshire Paddington is the only recorded case of a left-wing, middle-class, North London family actually housing a refugee.

Malaysia for "non-residents" lolz. UAE is exempt Saudi is exempt Mozambique has done it very controversially & might not follow through India is exempt Nigeria is exempt I mean you a clutching at straws here. Banned in the EU as it's immoral. Taxing education is a peak low IQ policy.

@PenninAlex2 @OllyMetcalfe Malaysia UAE Saudi Arabia Mozambique New Zealand India Nigeria All have some form of tax on private education.

We are the only country in the world that taxes education. Let that sink in.

@paulkhammond @michael_merrick All the evidence shows that in places like Sweden, Canada and Denmark subsiding the PS sector or offering vouchers improves the state sector due to competition and more attainable schools for everyone.

@michael_merrick Sounds a bit Keith Joseph. Quality would plummet as coherence and oversight apparatus become unwieldy.

Government should fund parents, not schools. Transferable vouchers, to any registered school, or homeschooling with oversight. The current push to a homogeneous monopoly market will not only become financially difficult, but minimises innovation and diversity.

@michael_merrick If parts of Canada can do this, including Quebec, where parental choice is paramount - kids are bilingual and leave secondary school with a high quality education (above OECD average) why can’t the UK!?!

@michael_merrick But how will the state control the children?

@alexhrbfc @michael_merrick Swedish research shows a more attainable Private Sector improves standards in the state.

@michael_merrick It won't, it will benefit those who are already sending their children to private school and those who intended to send their children to private school. How will it benefit those who are sending their children to the local state school?

@alexhrbfc @michael_merrick It does not matter, as the money is still spent on the child whenever they go and it creates a fairer system. Works well in Denmark and Sweden.

@michael_merrick Do you not think there would be something perverse about a taxpayer with no children helping to fund a £49k per year school fee for the super rich?

@botzarelli @AdamJ10812 @michael_merrick It's successful in Sweden, go and research it.

The school I’m governor at and which my son got a v good education at is an example. It had a P8 of about 0-0.25. Which looks pretty poor. If you look at its P8 just for those with >95% attendance it rises to 1.25 which is good. At >99% it goes over 2. And those are skewed downwards by having a lot of kids who enter the system post Y6 (ie immigrants) and have no baseline to calculate P8 from. That’s particularly painful when it has a lot of kids who join without much English and then get excellent GCSEs 3-5 years later! A fully marketised system basically makes it look like a sink school, which is a reputation it has worked tirelessly to overcome. My mum on reading its stats as an ex-teacher offered to give me money to send my son private because the published stats looked so mediocre at best.

FACT CHECK - you can't tax education in the EU - eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/… PS in the UK don't get preferential treatment compared to the rest of the world where they are heavily subsided and/or the parents receive tax breaks or vouchers from the government due to the massive benefits they bring. Also schools are objectively charities as most have no shareholders or distribute profits, like Universities, no matter what politically motivated opinion pieces say. Also, very strange sharing something about crying they are nit charities, when this law is about VAT. The article is franlkly embarrassing. Mentions Eton, but not hundreds of SEND schools? Utterly pathetic.

@OllyMetcalfe Not true. Education has never been tax exempt in U.K. VAT didn’t exist until U.K. joined EC and under those rules VAT no VAT on education. #Brexit “take back control” etc. Various mechanisms used to give private service providers preferential treatment. historyandpolicy.org/policy-papers/…

@Sosban_in_Exile @OllyMetcalfe errrr yes, and you shouldn't tax education either. Most countries subsidise to PS or give tax breaks or vouchers to parents of PS children due to the massive beenfits they bring.

@OllyMetcalfe Every child in the UK is entitled to receive free education up to the point they leave school. Free from all and any taxes. The end.

@Room101SmithWin @OllyMetcalfe I think you will find most middle-class millennials voted to stay in the EU.

@OllyMetcalfe If only we were in the EU where taxing Education is not permitted. But who wants EU laws imposed on us, eh, Olly Let that fucking sink in.

@JohnMcHugh1878 @OllyMetcalfe You sound very intelligent. Pity it's the SEND and disabled kids that will suffer the most from this.

@OllyMetcalfe Even posh cunts pay taxes Olly despite what the public school crooks who were in charge before told you.

@BaftyC @OllyMetcalfe NZ is the only country to do it becuase of their strange tax rules, it's not politically motivated. Also, NZ like many other countries subsidise the PS sector due to the massive benefits they bring.
