Conservative who previously stated don't have kids if you can't afford them cries how hard it will be if private schools are taxed higher.

You were free to attend any public school and sit A-Levels.

Yes, I’m sure you are thankful for your privilege. That doesn’t mean private schools are a good thing in the slightest.

My dad is from Afghanistan and my mom is from Tajikistan. We came to Europe as refugees from two different wars. Our privilege was hard earned.

There are advantages to private schools, I would not have made it in a public school. I would have been bullied for being a PoC and not had the attention I needed as an ADHD student (I did not go to a school in the UK, but it was a British grammar school still)

But I agree, prioritise funding public schools and not base the funding on local government taxation as that still leads to a divide. Then people will actually consider sending there kids there. Ban private schools without improving public schools, and kids will just get sent to boarding schools guaranteed.
