Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub 'If he thinks the route for better education in this country is tax breaks for private schools, in the hope they might hand it down to state schools, that's laughable,' said Starmer. Sunak responded by defending the government's record describing Starmer's attack on his education and broader call to tax private schools as an 'attack on aspiration'.
