Show Notes
Welcome back to another Friday special. This week's bonus episode features an interview with James Coney, news projects editor at The Sunday Times. The interview was originally broadcast on our Times Radio afternoon show (2–4 pm, Monday to Thursday).
Earlier this week, Keir Starmer faced a rebellion from his backbenchers over support for children with special educational needs. Ministers said they wouldn't rule out ending the legal obligation for councils to provide that support.
We spoke to James about what this could mean for his family. His son, Charlie, requires several different forms of care and assistance.
