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…

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.
