This is dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric from Farage and a position that could have a real impact here in Stockport.

All of our young people deserve the best start in life, suggesting that people being diagnosed with ADHD are "victims" is belittling the challenges that they face and ignores their extra potential when provided with the right support.

Anyone who has navigated getting a diagnosis for ADHD or any other SEN for their will recognise how difficult it is to get a diagnosis, then the hoops of the EHCP begin.

SEND reforms are essential so we can get quicker and more tailored support for our children, not so we can reduce diagnosis.

Just another reason why Reform UK should not be anywhere near power.
