We don’t like or approve of most of the people in this constituency, but we definitely should have won
What the- ? Genuinely jaw dropping - a President extorting his own government and, by extension, the American people

This is a thorny area and I am not an expert. But one insight from being a primary school governor: getting an EHCP requires evidence the child's needs are not being met - evidence of ongoing failure, essentially. This can take until Y6. For it then to be up for reassessement in Y7 would be awful

Please stop breathlessly reporting every 0.02 pp move and connecting it to the Westminster soap opera! This is getting ridiculous.
"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage.
So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.
Two new levels of support:
1/ Individual support plans (ISPs) for millions of kids in mainstream schools - incl access to psychologists & therapists etc
2/ EHCPs reserved for most severe SEND children from 2035 - and will be reassessed at next stage of education - eg secondary transition.
