      20K for GCSE revision? Entitled or what.

      Must be a joke.

      Edit: Imagine if every family was given 20k for their children to revise for GCSE’s – no worries about where their next meal might come from, school clothing etc.

      Would it work if I asked one of their donors for gifts? 🙁

      “Can I pay for my child to get a private education without paying vat?”

      No that would be unfair!!!! All kids should have equal opportunities, you shouldn’t have more because you have more money or better contacts.

      Can a billionaire put my son up for a few months in a multi million pound property that costs more for a few weeks than most of the country earns in a year amd could never afford as it costs thousands of pounds a night while he does his gcses?

      Absolutely! My child’s education is very important and he should have access to only the best.

      Thanks two tier Kier.

      I am so done with politicians now. They can all get fucked, the whole corrupt money grabbing lot of em. Every single one of them are just self serving arseholes.

      The French had the right idea on how to deal with the ruling class.

      Suppose VAT on education isn’t an issue when someone else is paying for it.

      Goodness me. This man is not helping himself. I wonder if he can even survive full term.

      His cover story doesn’t even make sense…

      Dates of the stay:

      > From 29th May 2024 to 13th July 2024.

      Dates of the GCSEs:

      > From 9th May 2024 to 19th June 2024.

      He is coming across as more out of touch that Richie Rishi, which is saying something.
      When you’ve taken away the winter fuel allowance from OAP and have promised the public more pain, any justification of free concerts, football matches, clothes etc is going to come across as tone deaf.
      Where are the Lib Dems? They should be hammering Labour every chance they get.

      A slightly charismatic Tory leader, untouched by sleazy, would be leading in the polls.
      This is amateur stuff from Labour

      That’s not the headline, because that headline is misleading at best and more reasonably speaking untrue.

      There was no donation of £20k. Either OP or the Standard changed the headline to include “acommodation”, which rather changes the meaning of the headline.

      Same bloke who said he wouldn’t pay for an operation if somebody in his family needed one. 20k for GCSE revision is laughable.

    11. Pogeos on

      It doesn’t sound as if someone payed him 20k to accommodate his kids. It sounds like someone offered his kids to stay at the property and if that property was rented out – it would cost 20k for that time.

      I don’t see why he really should apologise

    12. IhateALLmushrooms on

      To be fair. £20,000 was not in cash but in-kind. Probably access to study space in a private school – that the school put on a rip off value 20k per year.

      He wanted to help his son, I don’t blame him.

      GSCEs are bloody easy! You don’t need £20k worth of separate space to pass drawing a circle…

    13. MrPoletski on

      Did we have this level of scrutiny over donations received by tories?

    14. Memes_Haram on

      Remember everyone this is “adult politics” and the “grownups are back in charge.”

    15. ProofAssumption1092 on

      Give it a few more years Kier and people will defend your free handouts , just need to make it to retirement age.

      DOES NOT MATTER

      what does matter;

      Inflation

      NHS

      War

      Climate change

    17. dgibbs128 on

      I just wanted to check. Was the donation in cash or was the accommodation lent to them by the donor during that time?

      As “Here is £20K for accommodation” is a bit different to “I have some accommodation I’m not using you can use it for a couple of months”

    18. Captainatom931 on

      This headline is utter bollocks. It’s the valuation of Starmer staying at Lord Ali’s house during the election for a month. Not a penny has actually changed hands.

    19. CurtisInCamden on

      Disturbing how easily the media can twist things and then people believe what they read without question.

    21. neeow_neeow on

      So parents who struggle to pay private school fees (there are plenty of them despite the stereotypes) now have to fork up an extra 20% for the privilege of relieiving stress on the state sector.

      Meanwhile Two Tier’s kid gets a 20k donation to help his education. What a massive hypocrite.

    22. Saint_Sin on

      We are ruled not by the faces and colours of the parties.
      We are ruled by the companies boasting record breaking profits through public crisis that lobby our governments.
      We should start acting like we are aware of this information.
      Please.

      If I turned up for work and the customer started offering freebies I would say no I just want to do my job .

    24. Ok-Philosophy4182 on

      Man wants to add VAT to school fees yet sees nothing wrong with a billionaire giving him free access to luxury accommodation to allegedly give his son space to study for GCSEs?

    25. Kwirk86 on

      This man is an absolute scumbag.

      I can only wonder if the minority of the UK population that actually voted for him are happy with their choice so far?

    26. earth-calling-karma on

      Whatever about sharp suits and eyewear, this one doesn’t pass the smell test.

      ITT, a complete lack of understanding of how things are declared on the public register.
