@PEPForum@JoelMoore98 @nottslive If you bothered to read the article that you actually posted, you would find there are over 100 pupils benefiting from bursaries. With the increase in costs from VAT and NI, where do you expect the money to come from.
@PEPForum I think you’ll find that most of these ‘vested interests’ that @bphillipsonMP is referring to are parents who are concerned about a tax that is vindictive, spiteful and hits those ‘hard working parents’ the hardest. Not the elite, where it will not make a difference.
@BBCBreakfast@bphillipsonMP You will see an even bigger rise this year. You are forcing children into home schooling with your vindictive #educationtax. Mid year rise for no reason. No state places for many available, 75 minute taxi rides. No one’s fault but your own. @EducationNotTax
@DofE Reports are coming that sadly @DofE awards are also now caught up in @UKLabour plans for adding VAT to education - meaning some children might now not sign up or continue.
How can that be fair for those children who want to do this to develop skills 🤷♀️
#EducationNotTaxation
We should not be taxing educational support given to children with SEND. Obviously.
That our government is proposing to do so, is a source of national shame.
🤯 You can't make it up!! 🏫 So, schools aren’t ready to serve kids breakfast in a pilot scheme and need more time to prepare. BUT they’re ready to handle thousands of children displaced by #SchoolFeeVAT with no extra funding? Even though schools are crumbling, SEND provision is broken, and teachers are leaving in droves? It just doesn’t add up!
🚨 Scrap #SchoolFeeVAT now! 📚 Our children’s education and state schools are at risk with this reckless experiment! 🚫
@UKLabour what are you thinking?! #FindABetterWay #EducationNotTax @LauraTrottMP@bphillipsonMP@ofqual@ChildrensComm@Keir_Starmer@MailOnline@BBCPolitics@NickFerrariLBC@JuliaHB1@GBNEWS
@SkyNews She hasn’t heard any alternatives because she will not engage with the sectors involved. Schools, farmers etc. she could tax gambling, that is not for the public good. #EducationNotTax
@Keir_Starmer@bphillipsonMP Yet you have cut funding for the CCF in state schools, whilst imposing a mid year tax on independent schools. But the Vape industry gets 2 years. You are ruining the future for all children through your spiteful, envy filled policies. #EducationNotTax
Updated guidance on charging VAT on independent school fees is "not fit for purpose", the ISC has warned ministers.
In a letter signed by all seven of its member associations, the ISC described the guidance as "confusing", "partial", and "poorly drafted" https://t.co/FlG2HFWrWO
Repeatedly, @bphillipsonMP has told the public that the private school-VAT policy will increase funding for state schools and provide much needed resources for the sector.
Here's Paul Johnson, director of @UKLabour's beloved IFS, stating categorically that this claim is false ⬇️
@MattyLynnWriter is right, 'Putting VAT on school fees won’t raise much,' and @RachelReeves knows it. Even @theIFS report, which she treats as gospel, told her so. No surprise her budget is now falling apart. #FindABetterWay https://t.co/TZZT9KA6Ke #EducationNotTax@spectator
@adamthompson111 You are punishing children who will have to leave because of the choices of their parents with your vindictive education tax. How is that fair? IF you must bring in an Education Tax, must be phased. Rushing in a Tax without proper costings and impact assessments
@adamthompson111 have you engaged with the independent school in your constituency about the #educationtax ? over 1000 pupils and around 400 staff. Saving government over 6.7 million a year.
