Liberal Democrats propose tripling social media tax to fund mental health professionals in English schools by 2025.
Liberal Democrats propose tripling social media tax to fund a mental health professional in every primary and secondary school in England. Party leader Sir Ed Davey says children are "being left in limbo" when they seek mental health care.
