This is weird.

They charged families VAT to fund housing?

[Luke Maunder @lukemaunder]

Fascinating watching the official Parliamentary debate on VAT on school fees today. Whatever your view, we can all agree that it is disappointing to say the least that no-one from the Ministry of Education has bothered to turn up.

[ENT - Education Not Taxation @EducationNotTax]

Yesterday, we at @EducationNotTax presented the voices of over 200k people concerned by @UKLabour's plans to tax children out of their schools to @Keir_Starmer at @10DowningStreet. Thank you all for your support and we look forward to meeting with Labour leaders soon.

[Luke Maunder @lukemaunder]

This debate has gotten pretty toxic. All I am going to say is if you support the position that education per se is a public good that should be VAT exempt (which is the position in the EU, US, Canada and Australia, among other countries) then please sign https://t.co/hHoUwK72rE

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Question: Why does Labour want to introduce a policy that will make private education more expensive and thus more elitist?

The UK Government has been investing a lot in the encouragement of AI in the UK. This High Court decision will reinforce that as the door opens to patents relating to inventions based on trained artificial neural networks. #AI #IP

[Osborne Clarke @OsborneClarke]

Positive development for AI innovators! 📣
The High Court gives guidance for the first time on whether AI inventions are excluded from patentability as computer programs.

@Jeremy_Hunt will you be addressing the ‘tax traps’ & cliff edges that hit parents (and others) - it would be nice to have a simpler system without nasty surprises (and think of the saved HMRC admin costs!). Your centrist constituent.

[Luke Maunder @lukemaunder]

Thoughts from me and my colleagues, Arty Rajendra and Ryan West, on the recent opinions issued by the EP committees and EPO president on the draft SEP Regulation. This law has the potential to alter fundamentally the landscape (for good or ill, depending on your POV) #FRAND

[Osborne Clarke @OsborneClarke]

Commission's proposals would drastically change the landscape of standard essential #patent licensing disputes in the #EU.
The draft regulation has resulted in significant commentary from all sides of the SEP licensing debate. Read more here > https://t.co/vpzB3PaAf1 #IPDisputes
