Lots of problems with removing charitable status/VAT etc in education. Most universities are technically private education institutions, many of which offer A levels, some private schools do mini degrees, its complicated. To be consistent, are Labour going to remove benefits to universities as well?
As someone that was lucky enough to go to private school, I feel it's important to reiterate that only a handful of them are the nightmare Eton image that people usually think about private schools, most are small, relatively progressive places that don't have a tonne of money and are used by people that aren't especially wealthy or have kids that have special needs that their local state can't cover.
In terms of getting the Tories out, this is a very risky proposal by Labour.

Out of curiosity would people remove the advancement of education as a charitable purpose? Or have some sort of specific carve out that only applies to private schools?
