If you’re poor and you’re struggling they tell you, cancel Netflix, stop getting Costa, you’re lazy, or my personal favourite… go get a better job. If you own £Ms in land and worry about paying an extra tax… they have a protest for you. Ok got it.
Genuinely if you can’t afford VAT for your kids to attend private school…don’t send them. But to expect your kids to be more important than kids going hungry in schools is the sort of arrogance mixed with ignorance that’s ruining this country. Sounds harsh but it’s true, you’ll blame the parents of kids going hungry but won’t accept your own accountability.
Victoria Derbyshire, "Look at what you're doing to young people.. You're going to force them to do National Service.. You've tripled their tuition fees.. You froze the threshold at which they have to start paying back their student loan.. You've extended the student loan repayment terms from 30 to 40 years.. Meaning many graduates will be paying off their debts in their 60s.. You've invested only a third of what was recommended by the catch up tsar to help kids catch up after the pandemic.. Rents rose nearly 9% in the last year.. And houses at their most expensive since 1876.. Have the Tories got a problem with young people?"
Mark Harper, "No, not at all"
