When @bphillipsonMP said the independent sector had 'broad shoulders' and could 'absorb' a 20% VAT smack on their fees there were cries by her cronies of 'here here'. But what about the State Sector mopping up the displaced kids? Silence. What about the already overstretched

VAT on education was funding teachers and state education. Now teachers are funding their own pay rises or lack of so effectively teachers are funding state education. Can anyone FINALLY admit we were lied to, taken for a ride and used? ANYONE?? @NEUnion @educationgovuk
