Conservative — Old Bexley and Sidcup

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2025

Debate

School Costs and Employer’s National Insurance Contributions

Contribution

I have been contacted by schools in my Old Bexley and Sidcup constituency that are outraged that Labour’s tax rises are forcing them to cut resources and staff while the Government demand that teachers do more. One teacher told me that, as a proud trade unionist, she had always voted Labour, but feels completely betrayed. She says: “Labour have made the situation in schools 10x worse letting students and teachers down”. She is right, is she not? Labour has betrayed teachers, students and schools.
