This has been promoted as being a “fairer funding formula” – appearing to be about ensuring that e.g. the SW gets a fairer share of the education budget.
But in fact it should probably be called “Education Cuts formula”. And of course, those rich people (like Tory MPs and corporate directors who make Tory donations) send their kids to private schools and benefit from the tax cuts (i.e. reduced revenue) which are the cause of these and other spending cuts, so it is (yet again) working families who will be hit by this. Personally, I cannot see how cuts to education of working families can be called “fairer” under any definition of the word.
And this comes in the same weekend that Theresa May had the gall to say that she was on the side of working people. Yeah, right!!!!!!
P.S. NHS in crisis, prison service in crisis, social care in crisis, Southern Rail in crisis, and soon to be education in crisis.
When is this going to stop? When we have full scale riots in the less well off areas of the UK?
Or when Theresa May says she will step in where there are “burning issues”, does she refer to stepping in only to prevent riots resulting in burning buildings?
