Voters back Labour’s private school tax plan despite concerns for state sector

Luke Tryl of More in Common said: “As we look ahead to the release of general election manifestos, Labour’s policy of applying VAT on private school fees is consistently one of their most popular policies, supported by a majority of the public.

“However, despite the policy’s popularity with voters, most aren’t yet convinced of that the money raised from the policy will exceed the extra cost of educating more children in the state sector.”

Mapped: Tactical voting poses threat to half of projected Tory election wins

Luke Tryl, director of think tank More In Common, said voters are more clued in than ever on tactical voting.

“The ‘time for change’ mood is so strong,” he said. “70 per cent of voters say it’s time for change, versus 30 per cent who say ‘stick with the plan’. More people will be inclined to vote tactically to get that change,” Mr Tryl told The Independent.

Voters Support Labour's 'Great British Energy' Plan - But Don't Think It Will Cut Bills 

Polling by the More in Common think-tank, seen by HuffPost UK, shows that nearly two-thirds of the public - 63% - back the party’s flagship “Great British Energy” policy.

Labour has said the new publicly-owned body will reduce bills and boost energy security by making the UK less reliant on foreign imports.

However, the poll of 2,055 British adults shows that the 67% believe it will either increase or have no effect on how much they pay for their gas and electricity, with just 33% thinking it will bring them down.

Meanwhile, nearly half (45%) think it will lead to higher taxes, compared to 40% who think it will have no effect and 15% who think it will reduce them.

Luke Tryl, executive director of More in Common, said: “What’s interesting about support for Labour’s flagship GB Energy policy is that it’s not just Labour voters who like it - those voting for other parties also say it’s a good idea."
