Starmer pledges to act in ‘months not years’ to protect children on social media

The Prime Minister was told most young people get their news from social media, to which he replied: “I’m acutely aware of your point about news, because in politics, there’s always been a heavy sort of focus on newspapers, but frankly, I don’t think many people, and young people certainly, ever read newspapers any more, or even sit down as a family and watch the six or 10 o’clock news, it’s much more likely to be through social media.”
