Labour almost completely alienating its base over EU and PR, over cuts, over pandering to non-doms & to Trump. It got in by not being Tories, and are now as Tory as Tories. Our system is an elective dictatorship (Hailsham) and Labour's playing a private game because it can.

[ENT - Education Not Taxation @EducationNotTax]

No, it’s not April 1st, but we had to double-check.
It seems now that American Forces personnel using independent schools won’t pay #SchoolFeeVAT—yet everyone else does, including UK military families. Talk about #TwoTierKier. #Shameful. Education should be supported, not taxed. SCRAP IT.

A pretty damning first five years of Brexit, quantified here rather neatly.
