This might reinforce the view that Sunak is out of touch and leads an out of touch government whereas Starmer is tribunus plebis and so is his cabinet.

The fact so many of Starmer’s cabinet went to state school is likely to explain their war on brilliant parents who contribute their taxes to state education but send their children to private schools as not to take away resources from the less fortunate.
