LBC caller insists she's 'not privileged' despite sending child to private school

Matthew Wright debates with caller Kat, whose son attends a private school, and says that she 'prioritises her funds' in order to afford it. This comes as the Independent Schools Council (ISC) is set to take legal action against the government over its planned VAT hike for private schools. The ISC, which represents more than 1,400 schools in the UK and abroad, voted in favour of legal action on Thursday, following confirmation of Labour’s plans in Wednesday’s autumn budget. Labour’s VAT policy, which is widely popular but has attracted criticism from private schools, will impose a 20 per cent tax on school fees from January. Human rights lawyer Lord Pannick KC, of Blackstone Chambers, will take on the case, which claims Labour’s plans breach the European convention on human rights and the Human Rights Act 1998. The firm will argue Labour’s tax plan deprives independent school children their right to education, the Times reports.
