'We won't accept cuts to our schools'
The Conservatives' manifesto pledged an extra 拢4bn for the schools budget in England, but campaigners say that was still a real-terms cut in funding per pupil of 7% between 2015 and 2022.
Jo Yurky, who helped organise the Fair Funding for All Schools campaign protest in Westminster on Sunday where they called for cuts to be reversed, said: "Parents are deeply unhappy about the impact this is having on our children."
She spoke to Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn, who also heard from Tory MP Robert Halfon, who has just been elected chairman of the Education Select Committee, and to Labour MP Jess Phillips.
