Starmer accused of using private school VAT raid to ‘house illegal migrants'
Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of using private school VAT cash to 'house illegal migrants' after he suggested the policy would fund Labour's house-building Prime Minister wrote on X, formerly Twitter, yesterday that the decision to levy 20pc VAT on private school fees had allowed the Government to make the 'largest investment in a generation' to affordable housing. Laura Trott, the shadow education secretary, accused Sir Keir of taxing children's education to build homes which would be 'given away' to migrants. Labour has long-maintained that its controversial VAT raid, which has already seen dozens of schools close as a result, would be used to improve state schools. But this week it was forced to abandon its manifesto promise to hire 6,500 new state school teachers. Yesterday, the Prime Minister tweeted how the 'tough choice' on VAT had paid off. Ms Trott described the post as 'madness.' She told The Telegraph: 'Labour needs to come clean with the public. Not only have they broken their promise to hire 6,500 more teachers but now they are taxing British children's education to build homes that will be given away to illegal migrants. 'The sums don't add up. It's children, parents and teachers in the state sector who'll pay the price for Labour's ideological agenda.' The Treasury hopes to raise £1.5bn from its VAT raid this year, rising to £1.7bn by 2029-30. In December, Chancellor Rachel Reeves told reporters 'every single penny' of the £1.5bn it hoped to raise from the private school VAT raid would be ring-fenced for state education. In an interview with ITV, Ms Reeves was asked: 'Will all of that money be ring-fenced for state schools?' She replied: 'Yes, every single penny of that money will go into our state schools to ensure that every child gets the best start in life.' Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, said her party had opposed the VAT raid because it was 'terrible policy'. She said: 'It has forced schools to shut, sending thousands of pupils into state schools that are now struggling for space, teachers and money you didn't account for. 'You said every single penny would go into state schools, but now it's housing?' Questions have also been raised over whether the Government's forecasts are accurate. It was revealed last week that four times as many pupils left private schools last year than was predicted. In the spending review, Labour said it would spend £4bn by 2029-30 on its Affordable Homes Programme. It also vowed to stop housing asylum seekers in hotels by 2029, raising suggestions these people would instead be moved into social housing. Rachel Reeves said she was providing a 'cash uplift' of more than £4.5bn for schools between now and 2029. However a large proportion of this is as a result of the decision to extend free school meals to 500,000 more children. When this figure is removed, the core budget for schools will rise by 0.4pc over the next three years. Julie Robinson, chief executive of the Independent Schools Council, said: 'Throughout the debate on VAT, schools were promised that the money raised – if any – would go to state education. We have seen the rhetoric on this watered down to 'public services' and now the revelation that it will now pay for housing. 'We are in the worst-case scenario, one that we have warned about since the introduction of this policy: real damage has been done to independent education without any benefit to state schools, who are also facing further cuts. It is children who will lose out as a result.' The Treasury was approached for comment. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

EU Lawmakers Propose Further Easing of ESG Rules Amid Backlash
European lawmakers are considering drastic cuts in the number of companies subject to new ESG reporting requirements, raising concerns the bloc is doing serious damage to its sustainability agenda. Jorgen Warborn, the member of parliament charged with ushering the changes through the legislature, proposed that only companies with more than 3,000 employees should be in scope of the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, according to documents shared by Warborn on LinkedIn. That compares with a current threshold of 250, and triples a proposal by the European Commission to raise it to 1,000.

As Pension Funds Buy Bitcoin, A New Path In Its History Is Traced
We've seen waves of big institutional players adopt Bitcoin - even traditionally conservative players. The talk of the town has been nation-state adoption of Bitcoin, from El Salvador's experiment with Bitcoin as legal tender to recent actions in the United States with the new Administration. Yet pension funds are inching in as well. A reflection of this has been the small but growing number of pension funds that are adopting Bitcoin - a unique phenomenon that marks a unique path in Bitcoin's evolution that has remained understudied - for the moment. The state of Wisconsin's pension fund has adopted Bitcoin through investment in spot Bitcoin ETFs. An unnamed UK pension scheme has made a 3% allocation to Bitcoin working with Cartwright. The State of Michigan Retirement System has made a multi-million dollar investment in Bitcoin ETFs. And while it's small steps at the beginning, as more institutions gather Bitcoin, this is a promising path forward for adoption. Much of the background research and points come out of a conversation with two sources who have vast experience with pension fund adoption - Sam Roberts of Cartwright, which has advised a UK-based pension fund to allocate 3% towards Bitcoin, and Dom Bei of Proof of Workforce which has helped various unions save holdings in Bitcoin. Pension funds aren't just a new player - they are a different type of player - marking a new evolution for Bitcoin as it matures into the gold standard for digital money. For players in the space, especially pension funds, lasting time horizons are essential. They can't just pull their funds out willy-nilly - they need to be invested in something for at least ten years - and sometimes longer. Pension funds see a difference between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies - a bias that will persist in both legal systems, in the eyes of nation-states, and institutional players with very long time horizons - such as sovereign wealth funds. Pension funds see Bitcoin as the only option in a crowded field - with other cryptocurrencies going extinct fast compared to Bitcoin. When pension funds evaluate Bitcoin, they must remember that it's like any other asset out there - and that its risk/reward profile stands out to carry the day. As Sam from Cartwright points out, the trick is to get pension trustees to look beyond the polarizing debate and simply counsel to evaluate Bitcoin on its merits and the numbers. If you already believe in the staying power of Bitcoin, then once you take a look at the numbers, Bitcoin stands out as the best-performing financial asset of the last decade. Once you anchor to the math and escape the narrative, Bitcoin paradoxically looks better to institutional players like pension funds. Right now, the winning formula for convincing pension funds is starting (and ending) with Bitcoin in a small percent of their allocation - say in the low single digits towards 1-3%. This smaller allocation allows pension funds not to worry about the short-term volatility of Bitcoin and look more towards the long-term horizon. Even a small allocation can produce outsize returns - enough to justify dipping in. This line of reasoning was part of the reason how Cartwright got a UK pension scheme to allocate 3% to Bitcoin. While most pensions are interested in Bitcoin as a store of value (echoing what's happening in cities and states around the world that want to hold Bitcoin on their reserves), small steps are being taken to explore Bitcoin's use as a medium of exchange - for example, payroll services. While store of value is the more obvious case to push forward, it's clear that there's room for pension funds to experiment with Bitcoin beyond just holding it on their balance sheets - with experiments towards Bitcoin salaries among top Bitcoin companies. It's not just regular pension funds - but also pension funds for blue-collar workers that are looking in. There is a broad appeal to saving beyond just general pension funds. Dom Bei has, for example, onboarded several firefighter unions to start investing in Bitcoin. This is a critical step forward even though it's one thing to get a pension fund in and another to get a union. As he puts it: 'Bitcoin adoption among U.S. pension funds remains low, with few holding it, while unions across public and private sectors increasingly add Bitcoin to their balance sheets. Despite their structural differences, unions and pension funds share a core ethos: advocating for workers' present and future. Both should approach Bitcoin similarly—minimizing risk while learning about a tool born from a financial crisis that devastated workers. As a top 10 global asset by market cap, Bitcoin demands exploration by fund managers and union leaders as a network, financial tool, and store of value for wage-earners.' --- Pension funds are traditionally seen as arch-conservative in their investment choices. The fact that a few are dipping their toes into Bitcoin (and Bitcoin only) is worth examining - tracing a new path for Bitcoin as it continues to march ahead of its crypto competitors.
