‘And the charity you are playing for?’

‘The Alexander Armstrong school fees fund.’

If, in the longer term, the UK wants a fairer and merit based society, private schools should be banned entirely.

That’s probably a long way off but, in addition to closing the tax loophole, private schools could be compelled to take 50% of their intake from the local population, free of charge.

I liked the bit where he said he “loathed” tribal politics before going on to talk about “Starmers VAT policy”, “Starmer’s inheritance tax” and Starmer’s vituperative actions in term time. All in an interview given to the Telegraph.

I am disabled and rely on benefits and I am terrified about Starmer's vile plans for us and this self centred vacuous little rat sickens me.

Oh Little Lord Fauntleroy is down to his last £3 million! Hey, Geldof, come back here and arrange a concert for this destitute family!

Careful. You're probably frightening him.

No sympathy. If state school is deemed good enough for my kids, it's good enough for his too.

If your wikipedia page opens with a section on ancestry, you can straight fuck off complaining about taxes, and "tribal politics".

Narrator: he absolutely is buying a head start for his children.

So, what he wants is added value from his kids' education, that it is not available to state educated kids? So, a little value added tax seems entirely justified, no?

I am in the process of changing my marathon crowdfunder from

Surfers Against Sewage to Xanders Engines of Privilege.

It's the right thing to do.

All he has to do is cut down on the avocado on toast and cancel Netflix. That cures all economic ills apparently

I hear he has another crowdfunder on the go for upcoming surgery: to remedy an acute case of tone deafness.

Which is ironic, considering the size of those ears.

Yep, massive tin lugs though.

Dear me! I thought he was more intelligent than this. Rich people moaning about having to pay tax is always nauseating! 🌻

Maybe if they paid their fair share of tax, all children would have access to music and the accessible education they need at school, instead of the rich paying for private schools and everyone else missing out?
