And it was kind of overwhelmingly a feeling of support coming from the Labour benches, as opposed to some of the other feelings that have, let's be honest, been on public display in the months leading up to this point. voice-verified

Yeah, and I think also just a sense that you get from some in Labour at this point of having reached this point, there's a bit of relief after what has been a really fraught and difficult run. voice-verified

And they are, I think, at this stage again, and we don't know what's going to happen in the next months and years, voice-verified

But they are at this stage, I think, feeling a little bit relieved that they are feeling at least very outwardly like a United Party in a way that they weren't very recently. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

So one part of this would be a curfew so that from midnight to 6 a.m., you can't be on your phone and just endlessly scrolling through social media, the doom scroll and and this kind of some sort of mechanism. voice-verified

And I'll be honest, I don't fully understand it. voice-verified

But to limit the amount of those kind of particularly addictive videos that just get pumped through to your social media feeds. voice-verified

So that has been announced by government. voice-verified

But it's important to note there's quite an active conversation about how effective that may or may not be, with the government clearly suggesting that they think this is the right call, but others saying because you can opt out, basically that would be the default setting on your phone. voice-verified

These are for older teenagers, so 16, 17-year-olds. voice-verified

They could opt out of it and just not have the curfew applied on their phone. voice-verified

So as with all of this, there's a pretty active debate around the effectiveness or not of it, whether it is the right approach. voice-verified

But voice-verified

It is interesting that what you're seeing, and again, this is true of prime ministers of all colours when it comes to the point in which they leave office, they are trying to shape and build their legacy and they want to put in place things that they want to be remembered for. voice-verified

And I think that is undoubtedly a bit of what we're seeing from number 10 this week. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And I think when the news, I can't remember who first reported this, but one of the news, was it, was it Patrick Maguire who first reported this? voice-verified

Anyway, I think it was one of the newspapers first reported this late on Tuesday night that it was a carriage clock. voice-verified

And I think it was met with a little bit of mirth on social media because it is deemed to be a sort of the fairly traditional leaving present that you give. voice-verified
