Voting against private school VAT is a very sensible and principled thing to do. It’s a stupid idea that achieves nothing but damage to young lives and is borne entirely of spite.

And you don’t want to try and justify it. Got it. You have a nice day too.

You and I could have some to-and-fro on it, but what would be the point?

I’d like to understand why you think it’s a good idea. There are a lot of misconceptions on the subject floating about.

Fair enough. My position is that I'm supportive of policies that seek to reform the private education sector because private schools entrench inequality. Can we agree that they have that effect?

VAT isn’t one of those policies. Not really. The divide between the best and worst state schools is enormous, far more widespread and governed by ability to afford a house in the best catchment.
