A brand new, hot off the Standard Moron Press, Labour drone MP thought it would be a good idea to highlight how many ambassadors and such-like send their kids to private school at taxpayer's expense.
It's been costing us a lot, apparently.
What the idiot drone has failed to realise is that the Tories she's trying to blame for this have been in power for about two months. The declared costs are not about the last two months. They are either annual or tax-year costs. They either date to January or April. That, for any Labour readers, is before May.
Either way, every penny of the scandalous costs she has uncovered were spent by Labour. Not one penny can yet be attributed to the Cleggeron Coagulation.
The Grauniad, naturally, avoids any mention of dates.
Because we all know no Labour socialist would be so class-traitorous as to send their kids to private school...
...isn't that right, Diane?
Diane, meet Gloria. She's just dropped you right in it.

Diplomats, service men and women: akk people whose jobs require them both to live abroad and to move around quite regularly are quite reasonably entitled to what certainly used to be called "Boarding School Allowance". Which, as the whole point is continuity of education, you can then keep for a while, especially if you are only temporarily in the UK.
It's rank-independent too, despite the Guardian's sneers about "senior members of the military" - you can claim the same allowance as a Private as you can as a Major-General.
I'd note that even the Methodist Church, not the least progressive institution in the country, provides bursaries at its boarding schools for children of its priests (who, IIRC, are required to move every 3 years - just often enough to wreck a kid's education.) Hell, I wouldn't even object to the BBC paying similar, for those members of reporting or technical staff whose contracts require them to support foreign offices.
She should probably have stuck to being TV weather totty. Next up, Question Time with panelists Wincey Willis, John Ketley, Michael Fish and Ulrika Jonsson.
Yet more proof that politics is not a clash of principles. It's a clash of vested interests.
Oh, I do so love to see the Left eating their own...
at least some children get a good education
and talk proper too
