The warning comes as Labour pledged to provide free school meals for every primary school pupil if it wins the next general election, by charging VAT on private school fees.

Let’s do even more to restore greater equality by making public schools illegal. No more secretive clans of the elites and if they leave the country so much the better.
All part and parcel of the Tory Oligarchy’s heinous plans,
The last thing the Nasty Party wants is to see working class people given a good education which will empower them and, of course, someone has to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.
