-Labour to slash VAT on zoo and museum visits I thought Labour believed changes to VAT do not affect behaviour?! That's what they always claim when an independent school is forced to close down.

So, reduce VAT on theme parks, but add VAT on education. This Government's priorities are so warped
"What matters for families is not just getting by, but being able to enjoy time together without worrying about the next bill" Chancellor Rachel Reeves announces a temporary cut in the rate of VAT in summer attractions from 20% to 5% bbc.in/4uk3KOR

OK that's a LIE You cannot call moving costs from energy bills to taxation "action on the cost of living" Those costs haven't gone away. They are now recovered through taxes and not bills In fact they are adding £7-8 billion per year to taxes Our tax burden is the highest since the 1940s Shocking that @Ed_Miliband thinks that is helping with the cost of living. Shame on him @ClaireCoutinho @KemiBadenoch

You talk about “lose, lose, lose” — but VAT on school fees is exactly that for SEND families who had no choice but to go private because the state system failed them. Scrap VAT on school fees. #EducationNotTax

UPDATE: Over 100 private schools in UK have now closed because of this policy.
Piers Morgan to Wes Streeting: “It’s the worst kind of politics of envy”. Watch as Morgan takes down Labour’s flagship policy of destroying independent schools with a destructive tax grab. A perfect critique in barely 1 minute. @piersmorgan #bbcqt

What ridiculous language here. Feeding your child is not an “out of pocket” expense for a parent, nor is providing their clothing (including a school uniform) - it’s the basic requirement of bringing a child into the world. That so many - including the PM - think it isn’t tells us we’ve gone badly wrong as a country.
Parents shouldn’t be out of pocket by setting their children up for school. That’s why we are rolling out free breakfast clubs and from next September, schools will be required to limit branded items of uniform. Saving families £500 and giving kids the best start in life.

Like this wasn’t predictable… 🙄
When Labour announced VAT on private school fees, they promised it would raise £1.7 billion for state schools. With 25,000 pupils already forced out, eight times more than predicted, the policy is on track to cost taxpayers money rather than raise it. A thread🧵

Thank you @KemiBadenoch for standing up for parents and pupils... she says today that she will “scrap Labour’s vindictive tax on education.” Good! Labour call it “removing a tax break.” Nonsense — there’s no “break” in paying twice for your child’s education: once through taxes, again through school fees. This tax isn’t about fairness. It’s pure ideology. Punishing parents who make a choice about the education they want for their kids. #EducationNotTax #CPC25 @LauraTrottMP bbc.co.uk/news/live/cly79lr1…

Actually roaring with laughter on this one 'you sometimes forget if they have eaten.' Oh ok then, let's charge the taxpayers for breakfast so you dont need to remember.

Staggeringly deluded. She actually embodies everything she claims to despise; nepotism, privilege and political cronyism have been the building blocks of her entire life & career - such as it is. Anyone who accepts £14,000 & calls it a ‘gift’ should never be anywhere near power.

It is a major issue for Councils and yet @bphillipsonMP and @UKLabour have decided to tax independent SEND education, forcing many families with SEND children into the state sector and making matters worse.

Phillipson has spent forever criticising what she describes as 'tax breaks'. Yet here she is defending her chum's tax avoidance. The hypocrisy is limitless.
"She knows that a mistake was made." Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson defends Angela Rayner when asked by Sky's @WilfredFrost whether she thinks the Deputy Prime Minister should resign over her tax affairs row. trib.al/kdXA2Dr 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

The brazen hypocrisy of Bridget Phillipson… She really does think it’s one rule for them and one rule for everyone else. You cant trust anything they say.
Rishi Sunak should have sacked Nadhim Zahawi a long time ago but was too weak to act. He is a Prime Minister trying to manage his MPs, not govern in the national interest. Britain deserves better: a Labour government that puts the country first. #BBCLauraK

That’s aged well @AngelaRayner happy to tax other peoples send kids. Happy they should suffer by being forced from their safe place of education.

Looking forward to the inevitable day when instead of ranting about toast - Phillipson is toast.
