@badger617873@Damocles561@bphillipsonMP Incorrect they did pay vat, they did not collect VAT. Same as a nursery or university. Now theyre different they do not pay vat, but they do charge it.
-Labour to slash VAT on zoo and museum visits
I thought Labour believed changes to VAT do not affect behaviour?!
That's what they always claim when an independent school is forced to close down.
@KemiBadenoch@Conservatives 37 hours is 37 hours, if you do 7.4 hrs 5 days or 9.25 hrs 4 days you're still doing the same amount of work. This 'policy' is stupid from the reform playbook, lets pick a group and make the rest of population dislike them. Very poor @KemiBadenoch I was beginning to like you.
OK that's a LIE
You cannot call moving costs from energy bills to taxation "action on the cost of living"
Those costs haven't gone away. They are now recovered through taxes and not bills
In fact they are adding £7-8 billion per year to taxes
Our tax burden is the highest since the 1940s
Shocking that @Ed_Miliband thinks that is helping with the cost of living. Shame on him

@bphillipsonMP You talk about “lose, lose, lose” — but VAT on school fees is exactly that for SEND families who had no choice but to go private because the state system failed them. Scrap VAT on school fees. #EducationNotTax
@DennyTWright@sharrond62 Nobody gets full time pay for part time hours, local gov working a 4 day week still do the same hours as their 5 day colleagues.
@DanNeidle What would her ruling it out clarify? She committed to not increasing taxes on working people. And here we are! If she rules something out, presumably we can guarantee its coming in?
What ridiculous language here. Feeding your child is not an “out of pocket” expense for a parent, nor is providing their clothing (including a school uniform) - it’s the basic requirement of bringing a child into the world.
That so many - including the PM - think it isn’t tells us we’ve gone badly wrong as a country.
Thank you @KemiBadenoch for standing up for parents and pupils... she says today that she will “scrap Labour’s vindictive tax on education.” Good!
Labour call it “removing a tax break.” Nonsense — there’s no “break” in paying twice for your child’s education: once through taxes, again through school fees.
This tax isn’t about fairness. It’s pure ideology. Punishing parents who make a choice about the education they want for their kids.
