Energy Secretary Mattia Fahnbulleh says it is acceptable to send children to fee-paying schools and argues that doing so does not make her any less Labour. She defends the choice as a personal decision rather than a political contradiction.

In her remarks, Fahnbulleh frames private education as something people may opt for if a school is “good” or provides opportunities that state schools may not offer. The reporting presents her comments as a response to criticism about her household’s schooling choices, while emphasizing that she views the decision as consistent with Labour principles.

The available coverage centers on Fahnbulleh’s justification and the political debate it reflects, without detailing specific opponents’ claims or providing broader policy developments. The focus remains on her position and how it is interpreted in the context of Labour politics and public scrutiny of ministers’ private decisions.
