      Good news, but I have to question why it’s England only?

      Possibly something the devolved governments get separate funding for already? I don’t actually know.

      Good news:

      > These SEND deficits are currently being *artificially held off council books by a statutory override*, which is **due to expire in 2028. The government then plans to take responsibility for SEND funding**.

      Could be worse news I guess:

      > Projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), which assesses government spending, warned the combined cost of historic council deficits on SEND could reach £14bn by then.

      At some point we need to admit education is broken. It is getting to the point where NOT being classed as SEND is a disadvantage. Some parents play the system like nobodies business

      > The government has said it will spend £5bn to pay off 90% of the debts English councils have built up

      Whatever your political persuasion, that is a barmy number. To put it into perspective, the Ministry of Justice’s total funding for 2025/26 is around £13.8 billion, while the UK’s core defence spending for the same year is projected to reach £62.2 billion.

      Labour need get this spending under control and take it away from local councils.

      At some point we all have to admit that that educating special needs kids is not the reason the country is being bankrupted and that its actually triple lock pensions pensioners (a lot of the very well off)
