Qt audience erupts in laughter after viewer fumes over private schools

A Question Time audience member has fumed at the dominance of privately educated politicians during a debate about private schools during the programme in Aberystwyth. The debate was

prompted by the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's vow to end the charitable status of private schools. The man raged that given the many political errors of recent years that private

schools should be abolished altogether. He said: "Not all, but most of our recent Prime Ministers and most of the cabinet have all had private education. "When we consider the many

disasters they've visited on us, is that not a better excuse to close the damn things down." Prime Minister Rishi Sunak attended the £45,936-a-year Winchester College where he was

head boy after attending Stroud School a prep school. Other privately educated members of the cabinet include Chancellor Jeremy Hunt (Charterhouse School in Surrey), Foreign Secretary James

Cleverly (Colfe’s School in Greenwich, south-east London), and Home Secretary Suella Braverman (Heathfield School in Pinner, north-west London). Liz Truss was a political exception as she

was the first Prime Minister to attend a Comprehensive School throughout her secondary education at Roundhay School in Leeds. Boris Johnson attended Ashdown House prep school from 1975 to

1977 before gaining a scholarship to study at the famous Eton College. Theresa May initially attended a state primary school Heythrop Primary School followed by a spell at a private Catholic

school St. Juliana's Convent School for Girls before winning a place at a Grammar School. READ MORE: EU APPROVES NEW LAW TO PUNISH UK WITH BREXIT SANCTIONS IN LATEST BLOW Seventy

percent of Labour MPs attended Comprehensives, compared to 41 percent of Conservatives. It comes after Sir Keir Starmer accused Rishi Sunak of "trickle-down education" calling for

an end to the "scandal" of tax breaks to private schools. Sir Keir quoted Michael Gove who had made a similar argument during the 2017 general election calling the tax breaks

received by private schools as a "burning injustice".
