“A government survey has revealed three-quarters of primary leaders fear breakfast clubs are “not financially viable in their school” ⁦Victoria⁩ ⁦Ana Boulter⁩ ⁦Daniel ShenSmith (BlackBeltBarrister)⁩ ⁦Chester⁩ schoolsweek.co.uk/breakfast-club…

"Bridget Phillipson has been accused of having no idea what she's doing and being 'unworthy' of the role of Education Secretary." ⁦Ana Boulter⁩ ⁦Victoria⁩ ⁦Neil O'Brien⁩ ⁦Chester⁩ dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Still Bridget Phillipson lies. “I’m not afraid to stand against [parents]…like ending tax breaks on private schools to deliver more funding for state schools”. There is no money, it wasn’t ring-fenced & the High Court found it has “disproportionately prejudicial” effects on SEND.

"We will never tax education to make our state schools worse off.” – @LauraTrott Spot on. Labour’s VAT on school fees is punishing parents, children and jobs. Reverse this damaging policy now. Thank you Laura Trott MP for standing up for choice 👏👏 #NoVATonEducation

“You all know about Labour’s plans to become the only country in Europe to tax education. It was one of their core manifesto pledges & one of their most vindictive. We have not got a better state school system from Labour’s education tax.” ukpol.co.uk/laura-trott-20…

“Labour plans to become the only country in Europe to tax education. It was one of their core manifesto pledges & one of their most vindictive. The result of their attack on the independent sector is not more teachers in state schools, but fewer. 400 fewer.” Laura Trott MP

Kemi Badenoch promises to scrap Labour’s taxes on: - Education - Family farms - Family businesses And reverse measures in Angela Rayner’s employment bill.

Thank you Kemi Badenoch 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,

Kemi Badenoch has pledged to scrap VAT on private school fees if she becomes prime minister. “We must reverse Labour's measures. We will cancel their vindictive tax on education.” Kemi Badenoch scotsman.com/news/politics/…

“Taxes on education - an unprecedented tax punishing parents who work hard to invest in their children’s future. Shameful. Schools for children with special needs, are shutting their doors. Conservatives will cancel The Labour Party vindictive tax on education.” Kemi Badenoch

She is a brazen liar and disgrace to the office she holds. She is deliberately taking away parental choice; attacking private schools, home schooling and a raft of subject initiatives which were genuinely giving parents and children choice.

When Labour announced VAT on private school fees, they promised it would raise £1.7 billion for state schools. With 25,000 pupils already forced out, eight times more than predicted, the policy is on track to cost taxpayers money rather than raise it. A thread🧵

Extraordinary thread that illustrates precisely why Bridget Phillipson should be out of a job tomorrow. The damage she has inflicted on the UK’s schools landscape is unforgivable. A tried & convicted traitor would be delighted if they had achieved 25% of what she’s managed to do.

Like this wasn’t predictable… 🙄
