This legal challenge is doomed. Nobody has ever overturned a tax in the UK courts or ECHR using on human rights arguments. Not once.

The Labour government is lifting the charity status off private schools which would enforce the pre-existing VAT rate.
Schools profiting off the parents for educating their kids is not a charity.

Why not to an elite school that provides a privileged education?
Somebody here called Kent "the Florida of England", and that's pretty apt.

Lovely.
(A) a licence for them to self identify as racist and
(B) somehow something that meant migration would stop and reverse.

Those who aren't invested in state education will typically continue voting to reduce investing in it, thereby failing the majority of British children.
If they’re charging fees, and haven’t explained the poor prospects, it’s scandalous.
How many of these assessments are driven by financial constraints?
VAT is the wrong target, and I would be surprised if any JR even gets past the permission stage.
Oh, sheesh...

It's not intended to reinstate the tax-break (IMO).
It's a publicity stunt.
So not a complete failure, then...even you and I are helping.
