I join my hon. Friend in condemning those remarks. I am aware that the Reform UK leader said, in similar comments, “I’m not being heartless, I’m being frank”. Well, I will be frank: Reform UK would plunge the SEND system into further disarray. Only Labour will back the children with SEND who need support.
