MPs just voted on a motion to remove private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break.

What is so striking is how many conservative mps are still talking about what is “ best for the party”. It’s a real give away - that party still seemingly comes before country and constituents and democracy.
'Oh it's even worse than I thought!'
In his immediate reaction to #PMQs James O’Brien delivers a compelling analogy for Liz Truss’ attempt to defend her tax cuts.
