Social Media Ban For Under-16s

And many MPs are parents too.

Social Media Ban For Under-16s

And just as there appears to have been a shift over years, perhaps rather than months, among parents about the ills of social media for children rather than the benefits, I think the same thing has happened in Parliament because they're kind of downstream of that broader societal trend.

You know, here's a very kind of erudite, well-read, academic, well-travelled chap, but I'm not sure many people, perhaps even Rory himself, would have thought that the thing he would end up going on to do and be perhaps more well-known for than being a Secretary of State was being a podcaster.
