Is It true labour are adding on a 20% VAT on private schools? Literally the first I’ve heard of it from MN - can’t work out if it’s real or a joke?

Genuine question on this funny thread 🙈 but what does CF stand for? I don't know, nor brand new to MN but not a veteran either 🤣🤣

Because they think if they can scaremonger, public pressure will force the government to change the policy. That is why they claim there will be no school places in good state schools, it will all cost taxpayers more and we will all have to pay an extra 20% on nurseries. Its all rubbish. And pretty obviously rubbish.
They obviously think parents of state school kids are all a bit thick.

Welcome to COMMUNISM. If you voted for KIEV Starmer I hope you're happy now.

Oh I see what you did there! Kier / Kiev. Very clever! Totally validates your closely reasoned argument. I’m VERY impressed. (Although I think Ukraine has a multi-party democracy).

OP is being sarcy! Come on guys.

OP is being very saucy … yep I am 🤣… I’m bored to death of the posts about it. There’s 600,000 in private schools - there’s 10,300 children in school in the UK so around a 5%. It’s all we hear about on here- same arguments, I’m unsure why people are trying to change others minds over it!

You are either being sarcastic or you are very very foolish.

It was in their manifesto.

How are some mumsnetters so oblivious to satire?!

SoupDragon · 24/07/2024 10:19

Gosh, how witty and original of you OP! My sides are literally splitting and my tea has been spat out.

So I’ve googled it… it’s true - who knew this ????

What I’ll do now is make lots of posts asking what we all think of it and consider the impact and really get into the fine detail of it as it’s very interesting and life changing to me personally

Who knew? Well, me for a start and I don’t even have kids!

Where on earth have you been for the last 12 months, under a rock, in a coma, Mars?

This. I live on the other side of the world, it's nothing whatsoever to do with me or anyone I know, and yet I've read numerous threads about it on MN.

5128gap · 24/07/2024 09:36

You're joking...surely? Wish I'd have read this sooner. I'd have voted Reform. I did hear that Nigel Farage wants us out of the EU, which obviously is never going to happen, but would be brilliant if it did.

Wait til you hear that teachers kids get a discount on the fees...

And the parents have to pay for the teachers --to work 24/7 supervising their children- holiday skiing in the Alps!

Interesting that something that is life changing for yourself and has had so much publicity has passed you by

Monty27 · 24/07/2024 00:48

I so wish we had a laugh emoji not a 'thanks' one @mumsnet .
This is the best I've seen for a long long time 😂😂

purpleme12 · 24/07/2024 00:13

It obviously is a sarcastic thread

I know, I’m bored of lots of threads about a particular topic, so I’ll start YET ANOTHER ONE whinging about how many threads there are in a roundabout way.
