And he attacked Labour's new commitment to abolish private schools. Asked if he thought he would be Prime Minister if he hadn’t been privately educated, Mr Johnson said: “I've been very fortunate in my life in all sorts of ways, and I certainly owe a lot to my education. “I certainly would agree strongly with that.” But he said the policy, which was confirmed by a vote at Labour Party conference yesterday, a “pointless, pointless attack on the education system.” Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "It is no surprise that Boris Johnson has leapt to the defence of private schools for the wealthy few and is putting privilege before people. "Private schools are at the heart of our deeply unfair education system that perpetuates the privileges enjoyed by Boris Johnson and his wealthy friends. "We all pay our taxes, why should Eton and Harrow be any different? "The choice is clear: Boris Johnson’s Tories defending the privileges of the wealthy few or Labour, who will ensure that every child gets the best education, no matter what their background." Labour was committed to effectively nationalising all private schools in their next manifesto after a vote at the party’s conference in Brighton. It means the election manifesto will have to commit to "integrate all private schools into the state sector". This would include withdrawal of charitable status and "all other public subsidies and tax privileges", including business rate exemption. The PM claimed transferring private school pupils to state-run schools would cost £7 billion. Speaking to reporters during his flight to New York for the UN General Assembly, he said: “It's extraordinary that they've excavated this from the crypt of what I thought to have been long-buried socialist ideology.” He added: “I’m a Conservative, I believe in opportunity. I want to see every kid in this country get a fantastic education. “It seems unbelievable to me that the Labour party should now be setting out to abolish a load of schools.”
