Munira Wilson, the Lib Dem education spokesperson, said:

Farage is clearly laying the groundwork to axe crucial special needs provision in councils he’s got his eye on - communities where families and vulnerable young people are already waiting years to access threadbare special needs funds and special schools bursting at the seams.
If Nigel Farage had spent any time speaking to parents in his constituency, he’d know he’s barking up the wrong tree. The special needs crisis needs urgent repair - not his lazy rhetoric. We need a National Body for Send to end the special needs postcode lottery now.

Friend of mine worked with Munira Wilson a while ago, said she was excellent.

Can Farage actually cut SEND? I thought it was a legal requirement, albeit with lots of hurdles to actually getting it.
