@paullewismoney 6%PA over three years, plus 20% VAT equates to 45% total increase, whilst household incomes have stayed pretty static. Only a lunatic could conclude that it won’t have a profound impact on uptake of places. Irrespective of ideology this policy will affect all children.

@ArchRose90 @RachelReevesMP Nice of her to write the Shadow Chancellor’s script. I think I’m just going to play bingo during the budget. 14 years, £22bn black hole, manifesto commitment, growth,

[Calgie @christiancalgie]

Rachel Reeves in 2021 - rises to employers’ national insurance will “make each new recruit more expensive and increase the costs to business”.

“The decision to saddle employers and workers with the jobs tax takes money out of people’s pockets when our economic recovery is not yet established or secure and only adds to the pressure on businesses after a testing year and a half. When all other costs are going up—the costs of energy and of supplies—these tax rises are only hitting them harder.” https://t.co/P7TMXCPrDK

@TerriWatson141 @BhaveenJob78266 @clairebubblepop Respectfully, how do your taxes go to private schools? PS’s receive no state funding, they’re entirely funded by parents fees. 600,000 children x £8k saving = £4.8bn saving for tax payers every year! It’s already a tremendous deal for tax payers!

[Colin Miles @ColinHMiles]

@zarahsultana It’s regrettable that you don’t understand the full context and consequences of this policy. Taxpayers don’t subsidise private schools. Parents that use private schools subsidise taxpayers.
But there’s so much more to it than that. You really should read up on it.

[Colin Miles @ColinHMiles]

@Keir_Starmer You didn’t mention Education? Is it because you’ve seen sense and will be u-turning on the diabolical, flawed policy to tax education, and in doing so ruin the mental health of tens of thousands of children? Please say you’ve seen sense. Level up, don’t level down!

[Colin Miles @ColinHMiles]

@Nesil_Caliskan @UKLabour @BBCPoliticsLDN If only you understood the real mechanics of this policy. Flawed IFS research (it’ll never ever generate £1.5bn!), under-prepared state schools for an influx of pupils, dreadful impact on mental health of displaced children. Surely you can do better?!

[Colin Miles @ColinHMiles]

@JamesFrith I hope that one day you’re made to explain properly how you calculate that private schools receive a state ‘subsidy’. At best it’s misleading, in reality it’s plain dishonest. It’ll be Labours £350m to the NHS.

[Colin Miles @ColinHMiles]

@bphillipsonMP Truly awful policy. That you’ve made it your flagship is astonishing. Hard to take you seriously. If it had the potential to make a real difference then perhaps it’d be worth it, but in reality all it’s going to do is cause damage to 10,000+ children. Madness.

@ccf_campbell @RFCANI @RIrishRegiment @CampbellCollege @CWGC @RHQRIRISH @ArmyCadetsMusic @wartimeni @NIWarMemorial @CCFcadets It was a wonderful coincidence, and incredibly poignant to hear the regimental music and watch the boys march. Thank you for keeping the memory of those brave soldiers alive.

@theJeremyVine I did the 5th of the 10 slides in this run recently - a baby slide compared to that one. Impact felt like a car accident, hurt so much, and internally, not a skin slap.
It might look heroic but I’d say that guy will have done internal damage doing that. Not clever.

@LucyVHolland Hmmm
