Why @shotscope are LM1 units in stock at American Golf and available for next day delivery? I pre-ordered mine in mid-March and paid and still don’t have a shipping date. Please explain or tell me how to get a refund.

-Labour took more than £1 million in donations and gifts from gambling firms.
Always remember that Labour now taxes education, but gambling remains VAT-exempt.

Nothing to see here…
Just a clip of The Chancellor calling out the previous Govt for raising NI against the strong advice from business.
“Making each new recruit more expensive.”
“Adding pressure to businesses when costs are already going up, like energy and supplies.”

“I am helping young people to benefit from an education that made all the difference to me, Starmer is destroying the opportunities to have the same chances he had.”

“I think it’s really important that people understand the VAT rise will do nothing but damage children’s education in state schools.” 👏

#SchoolFeeVAT has real consequences👇
Schools are closing, jobs are being lost, and children are being displaced. Struggling schools like @HighfieldPrep can’t absorb a 20% tax hike on top of everything else being thrown at the private sector. Education should be supported, not taxed. #EducationNotTax

Just had a letter arrive from my MP………
‘Independent school parents need their voices to be heard, more than MP’s need embossed stationary’
That’s how this works isn’t it @bphillipsonMP 🤔🤔

My open letter to the Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP
Many teachers and school leaders share my concerns with regard to her decisions but are scared to say.
If you can find it in you, please RT.

This post breaks the rules on the Ethics Guidance for Gov Comms. (See screenshot and link below)
As countless other people have said, including me, this is a NEW tax (not removing a tax break).
We never taxed education because that would be an abhorrent and ridiculous thing to do. Yet this gov is now applying a NEW tax to education in the middle of a school year.
This will go down in history as one of the reasons Labour is almost wiped out at the next election.

So a tax that no school has ever paid is now being described as a tax break, which nobody ever has before. As opposed to a new tax on education, which is what it is. It’s an impressively Orwellian use of nomenclature. And it will pay for a third of an extra teacher in every state school. Well done. Revolutionary.
