And so this is not easy.

And particularly in

you know, sectors, as I say, if you're in, say, the hospitality sector or the retail sector, margins tend to be very low.

You know, these tend to be sectors that are really badly hit by cost of living, hospitality in particular.

It's discretionary spend.

to go to a hotel or to a restaurant.

And that's what's really hit them the hardest over the course of these last sort of five or six years.

So we've just got to make sure that we understand what's going on in the economy and then apply the right solutions, because otherwise you start to get perverse outcomes.

Yeah, so, you know, I've had this small team going around the country looking at, talking to young people and asking them about their lives.

And they asked this question about which, what time did you go to sleep last night?

And the answer is, you know, two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock, five o'clock, sometimes never.

And so Peter Fonagy, a professor at

UCL has been doing some work on this for the Department of Health and Social Care.

And Peter's conclusion is, look, there is some functional impairment now that is taking place, not exclusively because of social media, but sleep patterns are disrupted.

Concentration levels are lower.

The rhythm of these young people's lives is just not regular in the way that for our life when we were growing up, it was.

That has an impact.

So this is a real issue.

We've got a chronic problem.

It's getting worse, not better.
