Teachers, children & families are collateral damage in a failing system, left to manage ever more complex needs as support is stripped away, then told it’s “inclusivity”. Is this the change people voted for? @bphillipsonMP

You bet it is ‘a concern.’ Just look at this government! The genuinely most gifted academic candidates have been looking elsewhere, for well over a decade.

@ITVNewsPolitics Needs to cover more than just pubs. Businesses across the economy are bleeding out. We need more than a few sticking plasters to stem the flow of blood from Rachel Reeves bad choices.

“The real reason teachers are leaving?” New research illustrates system failure of insufficient support to meet pupils’ increasingly complex needs. Wait until they have to do it without EHCPs in mainstream. When will the Government ACTUALLY listen?

I’m not allowed to say it in Parliament, but I can here: today the Prime Minister lied and lied and lied again. And he did so to smear a man defending our veterans in court against the Labour government. Labour have attacked everyone from farmers, to businesses, to veterans, so

Labour’s VAT Raid on Private Schools Forces 105 Closures and Leaves 25,000 Children Paying the Price

Exactly this. Many children that go to private school are children that can not cope in mainstream school. I know lots of people that have removed their children from state school and placed into private as their needs were not or could not be met. But children aren’t the

@Karmaviolet12 That's a fair point, Claire, and it's exactly why choice matters. A serious education system has to distinguish between high expectations and rigidity. They are not the same thing. What you describe isn't avoidance or excuse-making; it's realism. Your daughter has worked,

The 100 private schools closed by spiteful Labour policies are not the grand public schools. They’re small places where children with special needs find the close attention and help state schools can’t provide. Those kids will be devastated. Shame on you, @bphillipsonMP

Quite unbelievable that we have a government pretending to care about children whilst implementing a tax deliberately targeting children in private schools. Shameful legacy.

I know what it is like to set something up from scratch- how hard it is to get it off the ground. These politicians have never built anything. And they tear down the hard work that others do. The years, the struggle, the risks taken… These damn politicians have no idea. 🙄

UPDATE: Over 100 private schools in UK have now closed because of this policy.

Amid all the ideological twiddling and class warfare please remember this. By far the best engine for opportunity and social mobility, is a growing economy. By far. "Free breakfast" at school, culminating in no job, is a dismal offering to the young. @LauraTrottMP

A year on from this pernicious policy, over 100 independent schools have already closed as a result of Labour’s tax on school fees. We should be expanding opportunity, not undermining it.

“The figures make a mockery of Labour's initial forecasts that they did not expect any schools to close.” “A government spokesman said: 'This manufactured crisis of pupils leaving the private sector and putting pressure on the state system has failed to materialise.”🤔🤷‍♀️

A total of 105 independent schools have closed due to Labour's controversial VAT raid on fees, affecting 25,000 children. Never was about raising money for new teachers, just a targeted idealogical attack! @vickygrayson_ @bhatti_saqib https://t.co/M3KotpoeT4 via @DailyMail

105 private schools have closed affecting 25,000 children since Labour’s imposition of VAT. Class war wins over children’s education

The PM says he’s taking “down” the 50% university target, if you look at the detail of the announcement it is actually going up. His new target puts 2/3 into higher-level learning, with only 10% in higher technical education or apprenticeships. That drives university entry up to
