That's bollocks. Obviously there will be those with shit loads of money, however it's not everybody.
People with the money to send their kids to private school are exceptionally well off even if they're not to the level of somebody like Johnson

It is not bollocks, £13k a year at Bablake/KH for a child >11. That's a lot of disposable income to find.That's bollocks.
Hmmm. Don't think giving up our week's holiday by bus to Benidorm would have saved enough for those fees.It is not bollocks, £13k a year at Bablake/KH for a child >11. That's a lot of disposable income to find.

As I said, people find it. They go without and make sacrifices.
Not everybody is sat in a mansion with a brand new range rover. Obviously there will be people rocking up with their 22 plate Range Rovers with 5 kids jumping out, they have money.
Not all of them.
Do you ever talk about any people that aren't just personas you've invented to support your own prejudices? Somebody with 5 kids would need to spend £55k a year to send them all to private school. Must be one hell of a Range Rover.

Class size reduction could make a real difference in state schools.Completely agree. A focus on class sizes of 15-20 max would be the best education policy you could propose but my god the headline figures would be eye watering.
Yeah it’s why I think you have to have a plan and structure to these things because people make long term plans based on the current situation and rulesAs I said, for some people it's about what they prioritise and sacrifice.
ie. Live in a 100k house with a very low mortgage and bills compared to a 350k house with a massive mortgage.
There are a lot of people sacrificing. Obviously there are people who are just straight up rich too, doctors, lawyers etc etc.
On page 21 of that same report - I sssume it’s the same and not updated so it’s 6 years ago it says something else in reality doesn’t it?

What in the last 6 years do you think has massively changed the demographics of private school parents to such an extent that they are now “mostly” middle class parents scrimping by?
what percentage of disposable income is shown on page 21 of the report?

Are you doing a Trump and keep mentioning this in the hope it sticks, when he entered the school through the state system as it was a state school when he passed his 11+ It's not his fault it changed!it’s a typical headline grab mentioning Eton and failing to mention schools like - well Mr Starmer himself attended

Around 15%. If school fees are £15k/yr on average that’s £100k disposable income. Not very middle class.
Average being the word. Was t it over 25% at one point on page 21? Do you think the average parent at bablake has £100,000 disposable income? You really think that.
If that’s an average some will be 30% to 50% - doesn’t it also imply around 1 third of parents use other funds
unfortunately comparing bablake at its demographic to eton is a bit silly isn’t it?
Most are average middle class with no other disposable income

You said:
This is not true according to any available data.
It doesn't matter how many times you say it, Starmer (or rather his parents) didn't pay fees at his school.
I've been thinking what my parents could have cut to get to the £13kpa fee equivalent. They lived in a two bed terrace so couldn't downsize really, holiday really was a week's bus trip, so not sure the £500 pa would dent the £13k... guess my Dad could have given up his company car, but then he travelled 80k a year in it, so not sure the costs of his own would have helped.
And I thought my parents were pretty well off in comparison to most!
It’s very true in the type of schools I’m referring to and applies to most at the Coventry based schools
