@GaryPello @Bajones06427851 @CF_Farrow Statistically the rate of closures in the first 6 months of this Govt far exceeds that of the last 14 years of Govt. BP should represent all children. She has openly admitted that she does not care about IS children. Is that not gaslighting parents?

@GaryPello @Bajones06427851 @CF_Farrow As before, some schools were struggling. This was the nail in the proverbial coffin. Schools have closed. But, being in education, I’m sure you know that.

RT @TheNorfolkLion: A young Keir Starmer. He’s always been a soulless robot.

@GaryPello @Bajones06427851 @CF_Farrow You said that. I said I disagree. I still disagree.

@GaryPello @Bajones06427851 @CF_Farrow It gives a view on your view. Each part of the country is different. Schools are different. Reliance on ind ed different. Available state school places are different. It’s fine if you can’t answer.

@GaryPello @Bajones06427851 @CF_Farrow I disagree. They have closed because of the tax. They may well have continued for many years without the tax. Sadly, we cannot tell. Can I ask how many ind schs you have locally?

@GaryPello @Bajones06427851 @CF_Farrow Labour voted against reviewing this policy. So no investigations/assessment re impact after 6 months. Many have left their schools. Schools have closed. Many won’t enter ind schools. BP has made it clear she wants to end independent education. She will not stop.

@GaryPello @Bajones06427851 @CF_Farrow It isn’t hypothetical, it has happened. I think it’s reasonable to assume parents have tried not to move mid year. Hence why BP started the tax mid year. I think Sept will be the clear indicator of the damage.

@OWS1892 You seem confused…

@GaryPello @Bajones06427851 @CF_Farrow Surely we should be looking to save money where we can? Every child that leaves ind ed costs the Govt more, if they then need a taxi to get to school, the cost rockets. Supporting this tax is supporting education vandalism.

@GyllKing @CF_Farrow How are we going to support the children that would have gone to ind schs, but now, due to tax, are headed for state schools? There isn’t capacity. The population of this country is growing, moving forwards there will be zero space.

@GyllKing @CF_Farrow But the schools aren’t necessarily located where the places are needed. Surely you know that? So it’s a lovely statistic, but it means diddly squat.

@chappers0106 @StephenMcLbrtrn @CF_Farrow Can you explain how you came to that conclusion?

@dave43law It’s sad that you would use this as weaponry in your bid to smear someone with opposing political views.
