Eton.
Rishi Sunak as Chancellor refused to give £15bn to make up for the catastrophic inequality between state and private schools enhanced by the pandemic.
He gave just £1.8bn instead.
Sir Kevan Collins (charged with the task) then resigned.
Last week the gap in A level results proved the money had been and still is needed.
The announcement today about Eton (not paying most tax due to charitable status) is another Tory kick in the teeth to state schools.
They'll take YOUR taxes...highest tax regime for 70 years....not if you're a hedge fund (no tax paid in UK) or private equity or offshore trust fund beneficiary tho....and give to the already rich...always and for eternity unless you vote to stop it
The Tories blocked my Bill to extend free school meals to all primary school kids last week.
The week before that they rejected a motion to end private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break.
The Tories' priorities: Protecting tax breaks for private schools, not feeding hungry kids.
What does Rishi Sunak becoming Prime Minister mean for the Black and Asian households who are 3 to 4 times more likely to experience food insecurity than the national average?
"Politics aside, an Asian Prime Minister is something that our grandparents would never have imagined" – I dunno man, my grandma was a socialist and lifelong antiracist who warned about the dangers of individual advancement without collective justice!
Rishi Sunak and his wife sit on a fortune of £730,000,000.
That’s around twice the estimated wealth of King Charles III.
Remember this whenever he talks about making “tough decisions” that working class people will pay for.
Rishi Sunak tells This Morning that if he goes to McDonald's with his daughters they all get the breakfast wrap... as a breakfast wrap aficionado I can confirm they were taken off the menu in March 2020 due to Covid, and in January it was confirmed they will never return!
Yous can talk about your grannies dying alone, all the sacrifices you made and your nurse pals drowning in PTSD all you want. The Tories have all the information. They see the statistics, they conduct the media. Their cruelty isn’t from ignorance They simply do not give a fuck.
I get paid an extraordinary salary. £80,000 to represent 75,000+ constituents.
• That is a full time job
• Ban MPs from having second jobs
And while we’re at it, raise the minimum wage to £15. If MPs wouldn’t work for £9.50 an hour, why should workers have to?
