When will Labour end the pretence that their VAT on school fees policy is about raising money to spend on state schools? It isn’t and it won’t. It is simply designed to stick two fingers up to families who send their children to fee paying schools.

Beyond the baseless excuses on the £28bn, the constant vacillating and inability to develop robust policy speaks to a wider inability within the Labour Party to lead and govern.
Labour will say they have to abandon their £28bn because the fiscal situation has got worse.
But since June, when they recommitted to it, fiscal headroom has risen & borrowing costs have fallen.
The only thing that's got worse is their lack of any distinctive economic policy.
