Taxing private schools and closing tax loopholes? I strongly support this.

Starmer: "people are paying too much tax ... I will not raise tax." Honestly its so unclear. He says, "I want to grow the economy," but he will not say HOW.

He got as close to 'let me find my tiniest violin' as he thought he could do – and sounded like he was holiding some back

There is a general consensus that private education is better than state education. Some parents make a big sacrifice for their kids to get the best education they can. I don't think this should be taken away because people like Hussein will have to withdraw their kids from their schools. It's not good for their children to move schools. IMO, Starmer is doing this to appeal to the 95% who don't benefit from private services, so he gets votes. It doesn't make much sense otherwise. 1.7 billion is not a lot and not paying for his 6500 teachers. Plus, there will be more private school children in public schools.

Kinda my problem with Starmer. He offers an alternative to Sunak but unclear on what he's going to do. Seems like its just a blind roll of the dice for a double 6 with labour, but it's obvious what the Tories will do, whether they like it or not.

The manifesto will be out tomorrow so hopefully he’ll do some good
