A lot of the better private schools have entrance exams (which parents also have to pay for) to pick the most capable children. They turn away more people than they take as pupils. They have waiting lists. There is no point in them reducing their fees if there is a waiting list.

The average earner where you are makes 150K per year?
Is that not enough to live on and contribute back to society? Do you work so much harder than a nurse?

That encapsulates me. I was Tory but I see what they doing and whilst I have some concerns of how labour will do things and finance things I would prefer an idealist government moving us in a socially cohesive direction then what the Torys have morphed into which full loathing of anyone non rich. It actually scares me even as a Tory voters of 15+ years.

May's is in Saudi Arabia............... strong and stable
Correct.
I'm not sure why we're comparing this to a nurses wage? Everyone already contributes back to society, considerably more in ££ terms for higher earners than lots of others.

My heart bleeds
Maybe if fewer people took student loans deliberately intending not to pay them back then there would be more money for nurses?

Voting Labour could cost my family about £300 a month in extra tax. Worth it to not have the tories.
Though I prefer the lib bdem proposal to increase it for everyone by 1p. Don't feel only high earners should foot bill.

Doesn't matter what government is in power public services always want more
Want or need? Big difference.

They definitely want (and need) more when everything has been cut to the bone.

The leaders of the Labour party and the Liberal Democrats have urged Prime Minister Theresa May to allow the publication of a ‘sensitive’ government report into terror funding in the UK which allegedly focuses on the role of Saudi Arabia.
Calls for the release of the Home Office inquiry into the sources of jihadist propaganda materials and funding are growing more vocal after Saturday’s terror attack in London Bridge, in which seven people were killed.
Isis, which espouses an extremist version of the puritanical Sunni Wahabism practised in Saudi Arabia, claimed responsibility for the incident, the third terror attack on British soil in less than three months.
Speaking in Carlisle on Sunday evening, Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn said that the UK needs to “have some difficult conversations, starting with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states that have funded and fuelled extremist ideology.
“It is no good Theresa May suppressing a report into the foreign funding of extremist groups. We have to get serious about cutting off the funding to these terror networks, including Isis here and in the Middle East.”

What's your argument here? Higher earners already contribute more ££, that's how percentages work. It seems that a lot of Labour voters just want higher earners to be taxed more for no particular reason. Even if it was proved that such taxation wouldn't bring in more revenue for the country, they'd still vote for it.

52% believed Boris and Nige last year that they can fix it. Little did they know that they both would run away from any responsibility. Didn't quite work for Boris as he was given a role he couldn't really reject.

Jealous of people with more money than them in a lot of cases I suspect

You summed my feelings up perfectly, I could never vote for May and the current Tory party, this will be the first time in my life I have voted for anyone else
So where you work the average earner are all in the top 1% of the country? Wow. Lucky you. No wonder you have the views you have as the Tories will always look after you.

My argument is that I doubt you're going to get the sympathy you're seeking.
it should just be like £25k tax free allowance, then 50% tax or what ever percentage is needed, and less tax loops so more things are counted as income.
