Just go to a beach. Write a book, lie down, just chill. Don't take any offer you're given for the next three, four months because your head won't be in the right space at all. It's the best advice you can give anybody. Clear your head.

But I do think we are not training young minds the right way. I've felt very strongly about this for a long time. What would that look like? Well, I see so many, my youngest son in particular, his age group, have a lot of anxiety issues. And I've been wrestling with why.

And I read Jonathan Haidt's brilliant book about mobile phones and cell phones and how actually since 2010, the incidence of anxiety and depression in young people has massively accelerated. So there's a clear connection between phones when they went smart, And they are smart, but they're also very dangerous on impressionable young minds and the effect it had on young people.

And I want to really tackle the anxiety epidemic. That's what it is. I think they're being exposed to way too much anxiety negative dopamine all day long on their phones. They are seeing imagery from Gaza, from Ukraine, that we never would have been able to see when I was that age, ever. You couldn't see it. You were protected. Newspapers wouldn't put that stuff in the paper.

The two or three news channels on television wouldn't have put it on air. There was no internet. There were no phones. How did you see it? You couldn't see it. If somebody was eaten by a crocodile in Florida on a golf course, You didn't even know about it. Now you're watching the video of the guy from someone's camera phone being eaten by the crocodile. So that's not going away.

Well, it's not going away. But look at what Australia has done with banning social media for under-16s. I agree with that. And it's not a free speech issue. It's a free the brain issue. Would you support that in the UK? I would, actually. Yeah, I do think that social media for under-16s is dangerous. I do. Because they're not regulated like a newspaper or a TV network. They're just not.

Look at Twitter all day. You think it's regulated? It's not. Look at Facebook. They are putting way too much bad stuff on there. And because they can't control it, because of the sheer volume of stuff coming in all the time in real time, because they can't control it, we should control the access that impressionable young brains have to that material, as we would anything else.
