Sorry, what?! VAT on school fees is now paying for HOUSING??
Are you just making it up as you go?
You categorically said it would be ringfenced for state schools.
So which was the lie — then or now? Schools or housing?
Either way, taxing education to patch budget holes isn’t
Replying to @Keir_Starmer
In the budget last year, my government made the tough but fair decision to apply VAT to private schools.
The Tories opposed it.
Reform opposed it.
Today, because of that choice, we have announced the largest investment in affordable housing in a generation.
