I agree that private/public school fees are not subject to VAT appears to be an anomaly and needs addressing.

However!........ it is interesting that private medical care is not subject to VAT provided that treatment carried out is by a registered professional...

So....if you decide to have private education by registered professionals, then isn't that the same conditions?, and therefore not subject to VAT!

Or have I tied myself in knots?.......again!

If you start trying to understand inconsistencies in VAT law you're going to find yourself reading about biscuits, cakes and Jaffa cakes into the early hours

She may not be VT’s favourite, but she’s got a hell of a point.

They certainly will be for the average aged Tory voter. 

And probably me...

This follows on from some Tories saying if you vote Labour you may never see a Tory government again. What is this bollocks. The only thing you are voting for is the government for the next 5 years. Labour fail then they'll be the chance to vote them out.

The Tories must clearly fear Labour doing a decent job and people realising the shit show of the last 14 years doesn't have to be repeated ever again.

"I know you're sick of us and think we're doing a terrible job, but what if we were gone forever?"

That made it through their political advisors did it?

To be fair, given the age of their average voter - one term is probably enough to do it.

I've quite enjoyed listening to LBC tonight for the sake of people who feel they've got views worth sharing on why they won't vote for Labour.

Just had one chap on who would vote Labour, but the planning reforms might lead to more wind farms in the countryside, so he's unable to.

Another doesn't have kids in private school but can't vote Labour purely because of the vat on private school fees.

Normally you'd say this level of incompetence is unbelievable but it is now simply the norm from this shit show of a party.

I reckon Rishi is inviting the last tories to a Kool Aid evening on the 4th.

It's weird how, if and when these things become stories. I listened to someone reporting all that in the first couple of days after the betting stuff came out in the context of "Labour saw the spikes in the bets placed so bought up all the advertising for that week just in case it meant something". Odd how Maguire is now filing a story that clearly everyone in Westminster has known for a couple of weeks and how no-one else thought it was worth a story.

A bit like partygate first being reported as a footnote in a Times story about six months before anyone cared about it.

Tbf at the time everyone in Westminster was too busy spreading conspiracy rumours that the cabinet turned on Sunak and he spontaneously called an election there and then in the rain to spite them
