Labour Minister David Lammy made the ludicrous statement: “equality doesn’t mean treating everyone the same.” Such a stupid man shouldn’t be in politics

@MikeTappTweets Are you joking?? “Just starting to turn the corner…” You lot are crippling this country at the cost of the taxpayer, growth and entrepreneurship. There should never be another Labour/left-wing/leaning government again after this economically illiterate, spiteful car-crash

I will be writing to Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards as in my view, this post is deliberately misleading. The justification for VAT on private schools was to recruit more teachers. This is blatantly misleading to make people think it has been successful. In fact, there are now 1,900 fewer teachers by their own statistics. The policy has been a spiteful, dismal failure, to the detriment of many schools and thousands of children. Others may also wish to do so: [email protected]

"10 million free breakfasts served" isn't the achievement Bridget Phillipson thinks it is. That's 10 million breakfasts families didn't share together. Feeding your children is a parent's responsibility, not the government's. The more the government takes over family roles, the weaker family cohesion becomes.

10 million free breakfasts served is a massive achievement. It's not just about the breakfast, it's the club too. A softer start to the day that gets children ready to learn and helps parents juggle work and family life.

@bphillipsonMP Stop it, Bridget - you’re lying! Nothing the government provides is free, And how can ramming a load of children into increasingly cramped classrooms be a softer start after displacing tens of thousands of children from independent education? You’re out of your depth - resign!

@educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP “Would I like to go further…” and close even more schools, displace more children, lose more jobs for staff - all in the name of cornflakes. You’re a tragic, spiteful excuse for a public servant and a danger to children’s futures.

State teacher numbers have plummeted despite @bphillipsonMP vindictive tax raid on private schools to pay for 6,500 more.  New ONS statistics show there were 466,372 teachers in 2025, a decrease of 1,900 on 2024 when Labour came to power & shows falls at both primary/secondary level – with only special needs teacher numbers growing. The Govt said the reductions were due to a fall in pupil numbers caused by the declining birth rate & that primary schools were not included in the recruitment target.🤔😏 Labour said in their manifesto the VAT raid was necessary to pay for an extra 6,500 teachers for state education by the end of this Parliament - but has simply resulted in pupils facing the disruption of school closures & mid-year transfers - in what everyone knew was just ideological nastiness.👨‍🎓

@educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP Bridget - you’re letting your spite and insecurities shine in this post - oh - and your dishonesty as you’re lying - again! Just like you did when you presented the ‘evidence’ to justify your education vandalism. Resign, Bridget - you’re a danger to children’s futures

🚨 NEW: Latest stats show we’re over 70% of the way to our target to recruit 6,500 teachers in the places they’re needed most. We have 4,654 more teachers in those schools and colleges compared to 2024.

43,126 children have left independent education, v Labour's predicted 30,000 by 2030. The SEN white paper strips parents of rights to objection to unsuitable schools. Labour has wrecked the UK education system. They don't believe in parental choice, but state imposition.

Labour promised 6,500 new teachers. Today we learned that there are 1,900 FEWER teachers. It turns out Keir Starmer’s approach to promises is the same as he does with his messages - auto delete.

Out of all the cabinet Phillipson is the most spiteful IMO. Going after schoolchildren midway through the term and taxing education was nothing but damn right nasty.

Remember, Labour said the introduction of VAT of school fees was to pay for extra teachers. There are FEWER teachers under Labour.
