Meghan Gallacher: “Private schools are under mounting financial pressure, while state schools are being left to pick up the pieces as more…”

Labour’s VAT raid on school fees is looking increasingly indefensible, yet they seem determined to plough on regardless of the mounting evidence that their policy is hurting families and schools.

Labour promised £150 million to help meet that pressure, but families and schools are still waiting to see it.

Scotland’s schools were already under huge pressure thanks to years of SNP-Green mismanagement, and Labour’s VAT raid is now piling on even more.

Your government cannot claim that the NHS is its priority while patients are told to wait and prisoners are given certainty.
