Labour U Turns Part 164

[Sprotyrover]

I guess all those making an issue of the imminent demise of fee paying schools will be lining up for their slice of humble pie?

''Number of private school pupils rises despite claims families priced out by Labour’s VAT plan''

https://www.theguardian.com/education/article/2024/jun/15/number-of-private-school-pupils-rises-despite-claims-families-priced-out-by-labours-vat-plan

Good Grief! What a load of lefty propaganda! So in January 2024 the numbers were up by 1500 on the Numbers in January 2023, so why does the article quote a figure of an increase of 20,000 since 2020 an unusual time when we were in lock down, were we involved in a general election in January? What is the relevance! There isn’t any?

You need to show the figures and where you got them from sprot.

''An Institute for Fiscal Studies report published last year suggested that the number of pupils leaving the private sector to attend state schools in response to VAT on fees would be “small”. Michael Pyke, from the Campaign for State Education, said: “According to the IFS, since 2010, private school fees have increased by 50% in real terms but this has not led to any reduction in pupil numbers. And since 2010, the gap in funding between private and state schools has increased to more than 90%''

the lefty IFS spotty?

I guess the only thing missing was proof that a proposed VAT on private school fees is causing closure of fee paying school and a downturn in registrations.

Bit of a swivel from what he liked to say previously;

Trustworthy, that lad!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Yeah cos that would be really sensible wouldn't it? Saying, a week out from an election,  "Yeah, we'll institute a massive constitutional upheaval that no more than a couple of three political obsessives in a thousand are even talking about."

[albie]

No, the issue is keeping to the policy objective that you previously supported.

Instead, we have a chameleon who changes stripe according to his mood, and does not think telling the truth, or principles, matter at all.
No moral compass, that is the measure of the man.

And yet Albie, as I say, his Government will do more for the poor of this country than a thousand Corbyns will ever do.

Just remember that while you keep yourself warm in your consistent principles, ok?

His Goverment will do more for the Poor Illegal Asylum seekers who will pour into this country!

It seems some people are quite happy to forgo all the lessons and advice they may have been given in life and are quite prepared to do "whatever's required" to get where they want.

Others place a bigger price on trust and integrity. when you have lost trust and integrity then all relationships will be forever tainted.

To complete the 180° that he's managed, Starmer will forever be tainted as a man lacking in trust integrity and principle.

It will be interesting to see how far that takes him, it will tell us a great deal about the thoughts and ideals of a lot of people.
