Special needs reform overhaul - a problem too difficult for our broken politics to fix? Do watch - our deep dive film by @JoeCookJ ** EXC: Big reforms have been discussed (though prob not appear in imminent White Paper). Currently schools can only access per pupil ‘top-up’ funding if the additional cost of SEND support is over £6,000. The first £6,000 must be covered from core school budgets. I'm told government discussed this threshold rising to £40,000-£60,000. DfE says savings aren't the goal -- but can't yet spell out what will change. Treasury staying clear of this early phase of reform - "it's a matter for DfE" ** Schools told £billions for special needs provision has +already+ been distributed. IFS says meaningful reform "will be complex and costly". Nicky Morgan - who oversaw the 2014 system - also thinks change necessary but will cost more. But Labour figures insist mainstream means spending less ** Lib Dem leader Ed Davey says he will lead opposition to taking away rights of parents and children with special needs. The principle of money following an individual child is a "huge principle". Would he fight to protect? "Yeah, 100%. Those legal rights are critical, yes we will. The question of course though, to go back to your initial point, was are EHCPs the thing that we would go to the wall on? No. But we need the legal rights protected, we need the funding, but we need to organise in a much better way. They're looking too narrowly at the thing that's in front of them, they're not looking at a transformation of the system"

Lovely surprise - our Politics Hub coverage has been nominated in the sports journalism association awards! Featuring @RobHarris @campbellclaret and spearheaded by @darryljoemurphy A proper dream for me 😂💪 ⚽️

Interesting to hear Lord Mervyn King talk about what Rachel Reeves was like when he was her boss at the Bank of England “She was self-confident. She did not feel that she should bow down to those of us at the top of the bank”

'It is possible to say to people, maybe we said some silly things before the election.' Former Bank of England governor, Lord Mervyn King says that the government should raise income tax, despite what they said in their election campaign. #PoliticsHub trib.al/Ueg33MZ

Delighted to be nominated for RTS political journalist in such esteemed company Modesty has (clearly) not prevented me from publicising this But I want the glory of this nomination to be shared by the producer I work alongside - @TomLarkinSky - without whom nothing would happen. Standing on the shoulders of a journalistic and TV giant.
