The UK now taxes the education of 550,000 children and we should all be ashamed of that. Note - I have 2 children in state school

Every interview or panel like QT centres on a concept of “what do you think of X” and no one on any platform is willing to say “I don’t care” or “taxpayer money shouldn’t be spent on that”

Seeing controversy after controversy, confrontation after confrontation - Government needs to get itself, and taxpayer money, OUT of as much as possible and let society evolve

Wait until people work out that prescribing anti-depressants to young men is a huge factor in a declining birth rate!
SSRI’s kill the sex drive and physically stop a “finish”.
An increasing mental health prescription culture is actually killing the future

Timing!
@wesstreeting and @AndyBurnhamGM are both well known “rejoiners”
Yet, yesterday during a huge march for Unite the Kingdom, with the British people so unhappy with the state of things, they decide to announce their rejoin intentions officially

Anyone would think they deliberately hijacked the news cycle to take attention from a huge expression from the British people 😬

RT @IsabelPat1886: @adamboxer1 Far right = "holds national flag"
Sensible centre = "holds any other flag"
Is that it?

This country needs a bad guy. Someone who will deliver a reset!
✅ No benefits whatsoever for non-British
✅ Time limited benefits with tapering off to £0 after a fixed period of time
✅ Devolve business rates to district councils to encourage competition

✅ Increase MP salaries in exchange for no additional paid work and the liquidation of all investments
✅ Require prospective MP’s to have lived full time in the area for 3 years

So the biggest issues in the UK
- Benefit bills
- Taxes and regulation
- Immigration
And there was ZERO in the Kings Speech that will make a difference to any of them. Arguably, it’ll make it worse

Recruiting teachers straight out of University will always risk this situation. We need a career change path for older people, they can’t change careers for an entry level teacher salary

It just goes to show the ideology that is at the heart of this government
Living standards ❌
Cost of living ❌
Reduce taxation ❌
Cheaper energy ❌
Love in with an EU that the country voted to leave ✅✅✅

If parents aren’t paying for their kid’s education, then the tax payer is.
So of course this means state education is now MORE expensive for the tax payer!
But government doesn’t mind because they have forced those ‘rich’ kids back into the state sector.
Social justice! 🙄
🚨 Labour’s private school VAT raid is pushing over 65,000 children out of independent education
1 in 10 pupils.
The Adam Smith Institute says this is 3x worse than the government predicted, with 115 schools already closed.
These kids aren’t disappearing they’re flooding into already oversubscribed state schools. Bigger classes, longer waiting lists, overstretched teachers, and crumbling buildings. Standards will fall for every child.
Taxpayers face an extra £500m bill a year, while the policy likely loses money overall.
Ideological vandalism that punishes aspiration.
Britain’s children deserve better.

Essex is being split into 5 councils to make it more efficient
Does that same logic apply to the 18 MP’s we currently have for the same area?

I am genuinely terrified by the number of people who think that increasing the minimum wage (and by extension other wages as others would want pay rises too) by 18% wouldn’t cause inflation.

August should be a celebration month to commemorate Great Britain abolishing the slave trade in 1834 AND enforce that on the western world. We need more awareness and a tribute to the British lives that went in to ridding the western world of slavery

Can you imagine, with any other government, hearing people talk about not moving house until after the next General Election because the costs to move are so high and they hope it’ll drop with a new Government??
