Now I can understand that parents may not know that’s how the system works.
Their school should have explained it to them and should help them access the support they need - but it won’t be funded by the Local Authority once you opt out of the state system.

Do they not know that this system is happening under legislation brought in by TORIES in 2014?
Ignorant?
Or just love a bit of rage-farming Labour bashing?

But no, why would the DM do that when they can attack Labour instead?🤦🏼♀️

Yet they want to scare people into thinking private school kids will be DENIED NHS care
That’s a horrendous, scaremongering claim

But that was about the cost of tutoring on the ward.
The council provide it for state schools.
And for whatever reason the private school weren’t offering it for their own students.

Excellent work, don't read the DM, knew it was lying but not how, your thread & interview cleared it up, doubt I would have known otherwise if not for the thread.
JO'B Interview will reach wider audience
📍stop and take a breath
📍does it really sound plausible?
📍could there be more context?
📍do the people sharing the story have an agenda?
📍have a little dig around!
Because there is ALWAYS more to it!

It did indeed get my creative juices flowing! 😁🤓
From seeing their tagged post at 9:45 to a full thread at 11:20 - that's definitely a record for me!😂

The context in most cases seems to be, is this happening to privileged or marginalised people? If marginalised, it’s too often true, or even being under-sold for how bad it is:

If the Tory government had implimented the findings of Leveson 1 and started Leveson 2, I can't help but think headlines like these would be fewer.
Even the Guardian is getting anti Labour. And the BBC is officially favouring Reform, but Ms Nandy seems happy to leave Davie and Gibb in charge of “news” output.
My disgust for the DM goes back to May 1971 (I’m that old) when the DM bought The Daily Sketch and assaulted my dear old mum with hate stories for 25 years …
I appreciate that they must have been under immense pressure. It’s the cynical use of that story to make this “seem” more widespread that frustrated me.
The article is trying to make out kids are being refused healthcare - and they aren’t.
Yep, one's state education, the other's private.
What she wants, it seems, is have a private education for her child and for the state to take up the slack.
Sorry, but if you opt out, you opt out.
