How are you getting on Kai ? Any help from freeholder or Southwark ? -
Depends on how far Europe has moved. Worryingly. Coz Farage's end game is to move the Tories to the right. Last time it was for a hard Brexit, hang the consequences So slippery. Labour will have mentioned Truss, but stray away from Osbourne/decline in public services/social care/NHS waiting lists and the need to reposition ourselves in Europe with closer EU relations. According to the Tories we won't have another election as with Starmer in charge their will be nuclear armigeddon -

Again on this - fees at local privates have been increasing circa 10% per annum recently and it hasn't stopped them being massively oversubscribed so this notion that there will be a mass exodus is a weird take on it. 2. The Labour plans for adding VAT have been around for a while - so if we are looking at secondary age kids, realistically the youngest year not to have known about it before putting their child in private school is year 10 now. There is often movement to state at sixth form anyway, so perhaps only 1 year to find the difference. For those at primary, similar story - v few 4+ places locally anyway comparatively so those at 7+ will be getting to year 6 now and could apply to secondaries. Using Charter North as a comparator isn't really reasonable - yes its oversubscribed. Some children who go to private now also wouldn't get in - but there are other Southwark schools which aren't over subscribed so there would be educational provision. -
It doesn't really matter anymore how we got here, everyone's far too fixated on blaming one thing / one party / one person. (I notice Mal you haven't mentioned Truss in there). What matters is how the next government is going to get us out. And, as Spartacus says, it's likely that no government can, not in the next term anyway. Labour will win this election and, as they won't be able to make any meaningful dent in the country's problems (which are also about poor infrastructure, outsized by population and slow growth), the Tories will be back in in five years.
