The Labour party plans to implement some class warfare if and when they’re in government, imposing 20% VAT on private school fees. No matter that parents of the pupils attending private schools are sparing taxpayers the cost of educating their children, who are deemed beneficiaries of privilege. It is estimated that the additional costs for parents will result in many thousands of pupils having to move into the state education system, which raises the issue of how they will be accommodated (literally and metaphorically).

Earlier today Camilla Tominey, a presenter on GB News, interviewed Yvette Cooper MP (AKA Mrs Balls, shadow Home Secretary) on a number of issues. The full show (1:27:10) is here. Over 54:09 – 1:00:27 Camilla poses the question of how extra pupils moving from private schools will be accommodated in the state system, and becomes understandably exasperated when Mrs Balls declines to answer the question.
