21:50Now PlayingThe UK Parliament is on recess for the summer break. The Labour Party, in particular, may be reflecting on a year that saw them go from a landslide election victory to declining popularity. While Parliament is away, we’re taking a closer look at some of the potential crises the government could face in the coming year. This week, we’re focusing on plans for children with special educational needs and disabilities.
Ballooning costs are placing more financial pressure on England’s already-stretched local councils, highlighting the urgency of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s proposed reforms in this area. However, some view this issue as the next major test for Labour MPs, particularly those who rebelled over welfare cuts. Hosted by Caroline Hepker and produced by Harry Black.
