@JeremyVineOn5@richardpbacon@theJeremyVine Telling me that Eton alone will give the future King of England advantages others don’t get is laughable.
People act like Eton magically creates power. He’s in line to the throne. Get a grip
Pricing families with children in independent schools into State schools is wrongheaded. The sums don’t add up. It puts a huge extra burden on State schools.After paying fair taxes to fund education or health, families who choose alternatives should be encouraged not penalised
@bphillipsonMP Children with SEN wait years for an assessment. Many parents simply give up and resort to paying independent school fees to ensure their child’s specific needs are met. A 20% VAT hike is unaffordable for many of these parents. #EducationNotTaxation#FindABetterWay
“There’ll be a run on sterling...the markets will be in free fall...It might take only a few days, or the govt might stagger through until the end of Sept, but before long Truss & Kwarteng will be forced to call in the IMF...That is, at least, according to Sunak”

@RishiSunak This is a joke scheme. For the elements I need there are 4 suppliers around the whole of the M25 with the nearest to me being 60 miles away #ToryIncompetence#greenenergygrant
I’ve come to the conclusion we have lost all sense of mortality.
About 10,500 people die in the UK every week. Mainly of cancer, heart attacks, road accidents and, very often, old age assisted by influenza. 17,000 deaths “associated” with flu every year.
@JamesCleverly Your flippancy will be the undoing of your career as an MP. I await with relish for a GE and to voting you out of my Braintree constituency.
