The public rightly distrust both tech monopolies and government ministers to police our digital spaces.
But here is the terrifying contradiction: to enforce this rushed social media ban, the government will force all of us to hand over highly sensitive personal data - such as passports, credit cards, or biometric face scans - to the exact same tech giants.
Labour should be dismantling surveillance capitalism and breaking up data monopolies, not feeding them even more of our private information just to use the internet.
The majority want to see inappropriate social media platforms banned for children. But who should decide which social media platforms are appropriate?
✅ Parents: 51% trust them to decide
✅ Independent regulators: 49%
❌ Tech companies: 16%
❌ Government ministers: 15%

The more degraded nature becomes, the more desperately we need it. When nature starts to bounce back, it doesn’t only provide livelihoods, food security and carbon storage; it revives the hope, joy and inspiration that our species so desperately needs theguardian.com/books/2026/m…

Dear @Keir_Starmer, you said to big tech: 'If you profit from harm & abuse, you lose the right to self-regulate' - yet you've done almost nothing to tackle scam ads?
An Open Letter to the PM from @MoneySavingExp & @WhichUK highlighting Govt's repeated, ongoing, flaccid treatment of scam ads
ALT Dear Prime Minister Recently, you said the Government would take action against X if it did not address issues with its AI bot Grok, stating, "if you profit from harm and abuse, you lose the right to self-regulate". This is the right attitude, but it is sadly woefully lacking when it comes to all victims of harm and online abuse. Which? and MoneySavingExpert (MSE) are writing to express our concerns with the Government's lack of action to hold Big Tech accountable for the fraud that takes place on its platforms. This fraud doesn't just destroy people's financial lives, it can also destroy self-esteem and have huge impacts on mental health. It is easily one of the most common forms of 'harm and abuse' and needs addressing as a matter of urgency. Fraud accounts for 45% of all UK crime, the majority of which occurs online. The landscape of these scams continues to degrade, with more invasive scams using increasingly developed technology. We've seen an increase in AI deepfakes for

We've had a new report out into maternity and neonatal care and honestly... there's not a single surprise in it.
It's still - and I don't use these words lightly - a total disgrace. We've had multiple reports telling us this. And yet the same problems keep happening.
Women not being listened to - mums and babies being harmed or even dying - when they shouldn't be. So many people have their own stories - I'm sure if you're listening to this right now you might have your own story - or know someone who does.
There's one thing I wanted to pick out from the report by Baroness Valerie Amos.
The investigation heard cases of women who had lost babies being placed on wards with newborns.
This might seem like a little thing. But can you imagine losing a baby. The worst moment of your entire life. All those hopes and dreams for your child's future. Carrying the baby inside you - feeling it grow - and then the blood, the desperation that maybe it's going to be ok, surely it's got to be ok, and then the reality that you've lost your child.
And then what happens? You're put on a ward full of other mothers just like you... but these mums have their little babies in their arms.
That is not just negligent. It is cruel.
And it also happens systematically throughout the NHS. Having a miscarriage? Go to the maternity unit. Just had a scan where you'd hope to see your baby kicking but actually find out it doesn't have a heart beat? Go and sit down with all the happily pregnant mums.
This is symptomatic of a system where women are treated like vessels not like people who should be heard and listened to.
Because bringing life into the world can be the happiest time of your life. But it can also be the worst time of your life.
Either way - it's the most important moment. And that's why we've got to get this right.

It’s official! We’re leaving Gallipoli and setting sail for Gaza imminently.
This is it — the Freedom Flotilla is moving. We’re on our way to break Israel’s illegal, brutal siege and deliver desperately needed aid to the people of Gaza.
Please share this far and wide. The more eyes on us, the safer we are.
