"Top public schools benefit from charitable status and the teachers therein were largely trained in colleges founded at public expense and had their training paid for by the taxpayer"

And? Those working in those schools will be paying their taxes. Are you saying that all charities should not be allowed any tax advantages?


With regards to Rupa Huq's stupid comment, she was most likely just playing to her audience who probably lapped it up. Guess people might say she was aiming to be populist.

But

"In her letter to Kwarteng, Huq said she “spoke in haste and adopted clumsy language which in no way reflects my views or those of the Labour party” – and said during the fringe event she cited the fact that the Conservatives had had four black and Asian chancellors “as a positive”."

Something Labour could bear in mind.
