More of Labour's politics of envy. Crass socialism.
Rubbish if people can't afford it and can send them to state school like most people and stop moaning
She makes me cringe 😬
Sad for people who voted for Labour
Sunak gave $3 million to a school in California, whereas in U.K. teachers are spending their own money to provide basic teaching necessities.
Then charge parents the going rate for education. I am a single pensioner paying more council tax than a working family of 5 who live my street.
To be clear his his wife donated $3m of her money to the US university she went to. This money hasn't come from us and bears literally no relevance to UK school funding
The govt has wasted 120 billion in tax revenue since 2017 in a recent estimate. But sure, let’s tax private schools to raise 1.6 billion. Anyone with two brain cells (unfortunately not common) knows that this is an unfair tax - The Givg should be held accountable as to how it uses tax revenue before it is allowed to raise taxes further. It is not hardworking parents faults that the govt can’t handle the money it gets. They should not be punished.
Two different governments.
Tax and ban, that's all these people are capable of. Such a simplistic mindset.
Absolute nonsense . What are they banning ? Private Schools are businesses . Look at Eton.
@@californiadreamin8423state schools are a business too
@@kurt479 so what do they sell? 🤡
Better than the tories - who taxed and delivered nothing
@@maneshipocrates2264 Two cheeks of the same backside.
Sure, and how are schools most likely to 'cut their cloth'? By making non teaching staff redundant. Who can tell me that my job is safe?
The politics of envy from these uni parties Yawn Yawn
The excuse of 'The Politics Of Envy ' by the Purchasers Of Privilege.
Politics of Envy….Nonsense, not what a significant number of state schools are structurally unsound.
Socialism party, Labour.
Already hate her ignorant attitude. Schools are already full! My daughter didn’t accepted on all three schools because of capacity. This labour move will make things worse.
@@nimzgaz7049sounds like we need to build more schools and train more teachers then. Guess the rich folks paying their way for once might help with that…
This change doesn’t save our state schools, much larger investment and cultural change is needed for that.
We're just turning away wealth for our economy which affects all. Over 65% of the students at our school are international, that’s new income for our economy.
The taxes already paid on those amounts more than outweighs the financial benefit of an introduction of VAT following the projected fall in international admissions numbers.
As always, this is just an emotive claim without much consideration.
(Also to note, I don’t vote Tory and I like many of Labour’s other policies).
But that money won't be directed to one cause. It'll go into a global fund to be used, probably for the NHS. Most parents can't afford private schooling, but many choose to by making financial sacrifices. Keep on taking the union money, dear...

Private schools will create bursaries or scholarships for those who cannot afford. Makes complete sense to add VAT to their fees.
???? They already exist. What you say makes no sense.

@@nimzgaz7049just add more students into state school, how is that going to make better ?
And what about staff? Does nobody think that schools might well 'cut their cloth' by making non teaching staff, who barely earn a living wage anyway, redundant?
And provide places for knowledge ds who will have to leave private school
Close down private schools and make them go to public schools. Equality now.
State Schools are already full! My daughter didn’t accepted on all three schools because of capacity. This labour move will make things worse.
@@nimzgaz7049well then those teachers can move to public schools then and work there. A lot of them still get paid as any other teacher there is.
And the support staff, what are they supposed to do?
Then penalise parents who can't afford children.
She is right to concentrate on our State schools 96% against 4%
Also I would ask any who thinks she is wrong to watch a Panorama program named
Britain Crumbling Schools
Then see if she is wrong
Nice to see Labour carrying on Blair's one size fits all education whilst adding more pupils in the classroom. Love how people forgot the outrage that classroom sizes went to 30 to 35 pupils per class under the last Labour government.
Looks like Labour plans 40 - 50 per class with this plan. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Goodluck Labour 😂
😢i agree wid dis POLICY 💔
The State school system does not offer an education that could be considered anything other than appalling and there are numerous reasons for this. Crush the private sector and the astonishingly higher level of education will result in only crushing the dreams of innumerable students that would otherwise become productive and positive citizens. Labour are showing how in my lifetime they have never had a single clue how to run the country as a business and make it profitable. God help us all....
Absolute steaming pile of nonsense, if private schools can't run a budget with the increased fees they charge they will close, simple
@@andrewgreen5892 I don't understand. Is the point of this policy to increase tax revenue or to price some pupils out of private school and force some private schools to close altogether, which would increase demand for state school places and thereby reduce tax revenue per state school pupil?
@@andrewgreen5892d then all go to state schools
@YorickReturns your all responding to a bot by the way 😅
private schools have had it too good for too long and the public schools are crumbling so it's ok in my book
I will vote Reform not to try and win...but we need their influence within parliament . Voting Tory or Labour is just voting for more of the same mess.
6500 new teacher's works out at under 1 new teacher per school it's not alot so labour just chucking a number out and think the public can't work this out
Labour all ready talking of taxing what ever they can lol
And her simplistic mindset is frightening when we are facing full capacity in schools. Well people don’t care. We deserve this nonsense in this country
Im interested why the op is so invested in this.
