"You can't physically chuck a 13-year-old over a school gate and say: ‘Go on, get in.’" Actor Anna Maxwell Martin, who's navigated the SEND system as a parent, tells #R4Today that attitude is just as important as funding to help support children with special educational needs.

This is Jess Philips. Do you know who should really be ashamed? @RobertJenrick who was Home Office minister Oct 2022 to Dec 2023 and is capitalising on far right lies. The Tories for allocating child sex abuse victims £40 each and Elon Musk for being a dangerous ignorant moron.

"I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer." That shame was never hers to carry. Gisele Pelicot is so right and so brave to refuse it and to demand that it changes side. https://t.co/cRRxkLoMHl
