Schools in deprived areas will suffer most from Tory funding cuts – because Tories target the poor

It should come as no surprise that Tories are legislating to take from the poor – who don’t vote Conservative – and give to those who do.

What do we think about this?

Schools in London’s most deprived communities will bear the brunt of the Government’s planned funding reforms, Labour claimed today.

Boroughs where up to a third of pupils are on free school meals will see budget reductions of between one and three per cent if proposed changes are introduced in 2018-19.

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.

    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.
