Piers Morgan has criticized Labour's policy on private schools, describing it as 'the worst kind of politics of envy.' He argues that the policy, which aims to tax independent schools, will lead to the closure of smaller institutions and put additional pressure on the state education system. Morgan's remarks have been supported by several public figures, including Suella Braverman and Felicity Buchan. They contend that the policy will hurt hardworking parents and undermine educational choice and aspiration. Morgan emphasized that '100’s of kids' will need to transition to the state school system, which could overwhelm it.
Spot on @piersmorgan My mum, a nurse, did extra shifts & dad was unemployed for several years of my schooling. They sacrificed to pay fees at an independent school. That was their choice. Labour’s plan is a tax on choice, aspiration & social justice. https://t.co/ZJOOQoYG23

Piers Morgan was correct about Labour’s “politics of envy” on #bbcqt “It's not about the Eton colleges of the world. It's the small independent schools, they're gonna go bust & then 100’s of kids will need to go into the state school system & they are going to swamp the system.” https://t.co/tEBwWl4tUE
Completely agree with both @piersmorgan and @Nigel_Farage. The private schools policy, which will shutter small independent schools, is Labour at its worst. Sir Keir Starmer went to a fee-paying school on a bursary! It’s so typical of Leftists to pull up the ladder behind them. https://t.co/eWTlPFwcE3
.@piersmorgan is right. Labour’s schools tax will hurt many smaller independent schools, put pressure on the state sector and hit hardworking parents the hardest. As he says, “it’s the worst kind of politics of envy” - simple as that. https://t.co/eO91i8wJ7Y
Piers Morgan to Wes Streeting: “It’s the worst kind of politics of envy”. Watch as Morgan takes down Labour’s flagship policy of destroying independent schools with a destructive tax grab. A perfect critique in barely 1 minute. @piersmorgan #bbcqt https://t.co/KkUEFX6URr
