Starmer: TV series Adolescence hard to watch as a dad
The prime minister has hosted a roundtable with the creators of TV series Adolescence, to discuss how to stop young people from being influenced by toxic content online.
Sitting next to Jack Thorne, one of its writers, Sir Keir Starmer said the show is "a torch that shines intensely brightly on a combination of issues that many people don't know how to respond to", but admits that, as a dad, he did not find it "not easy viewing".
