Strong from Martin Callanan. This boring but important policy has taken YEARS to get out the door. Great to see action at last. 💪

🥔 Fresh potato purchases crashed at the end of the 20th century, but they're still our most popular veg - particularly in the days leading up to Christmas.

We got under the skin with 6 potato data highlights that show the evolution of the British diet: nesta.org.uk/blog/fries-wit…

It makes no sense for 🇬🇧 families to give our children free access to TikTok UK. 👇

It should be restricted to 16yo+ immediately, as recommended by the 🇺🇸 surgeon general. Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General

Rishi Sunak Michelle Donelan MP - time for action, no?

💥 Bombshell report from Network Contagion Research Institute finds TikTok promotes & demotes content based on CCP interests.

No two ways about it: The UK govt should ban TikTok.

It’s time Twitter @x was behind an age verification system. Too much filth. Too violence. Too many predators.

Clearly the European Commission is coming round to the same view.

The most obvious reason all schools should be phone-free: phones reduce learning. How could they not? Don't they make it harder for you to focus?

It's happening all around the world, since 2012. Here's Derek Thompson's report on the new PISA data:

Not only are these drug deaths heartbreaking, they cost the UK so much money.
Treatment for drug addiction, whilst important, is not very reliable.
We should do more to prevent deaths by drugs. For our national prosperity. And our children’s future.

No, this is not true. I have set out what messages I do and don’t have. I have sent this message and all other relevant messages to the NCA. This message shows that you did not declare your financial interests in this company.

What a legend!

He’s 100% right in Motown. It’s the source code of everything that’s great about our music.

What is the significance of Winter Solstice at Stonehenge? ☀️

During the winter solstice, the earth’s axis is tilted at its furthest point from the sun. This means that the sun is at its lowest point in the sky and it will be the shortest day of the year. 1/3

This sounds like good news on age verification from Google.

So long as its AI face recognition tools are “highly effective”, as the law requires.

If not, this is just spin aimed at distracting regulators and confusing the public.

If anyone wants background to speculation that the PM is set to legislate to prevent under-16yo kids using social media, I highly recommend the US Surgeon General’s recent report.

He makes it very plain. Under 16yos should NOT be on social media. He wouldn’t let his own kids…
