Worrisome moms and dads are tracking their adult children at uni and even organising their lives for them. There's been plenty of talk about the benefits of a 'smartphone-free childhood', but maybe we need more smartphone-free parenting

Revealing how little of this discourse is about the literal point of an *age of consent*, which is when a teenager becomes capable of consent
I agree.
It is illegal for an adult in a Position of Trust to have sex with someone under their care who is under the age of 18.
That ban should be applied more widely: it should be illegal for everyone aged 18 or above to have sex with anyone under the age of 18, regardless of if they are in their care or not.
I think this policy idea would be welcomed by @bphillipsonMP and @joymorrissey.

In the Senedd, when members consider others’ contributions to be objectionable or abhorrent, there are frequent calls to ban those contributions from being made.
This is not sensible.
If you’re appalled by a policy, statement or idea, the way to defeat it is through rational argument and reasoned debate.
Like all of us, Joe should judged at the ballot box.
Banning him from speaking is not the answer.
🚨BREAKING🚨
Reform's Joe Martin has been BANNED from speaking in the Senedd for comments in which he referred to the "demographic replacement of white British people taking place in the UK".
Presiding Officer Huw Irranca-Davies ruled Martin must apologise, otherwise he will not be called to speak.
Watch Martin's comments, and Irranca-Davies' ruling, below.

Whilst I was a teenager I bemoaned how little autonomy I had compared with my earlier peers, but *God*, I got lucky not to be a teenager now.
State-sanctioned arrested development. You're 8 until you're 18 then you're expected to be able to handle all of adult life overnight.

The fact that he immediately clocked Rooney as a terrible manager was the one thing in that entire documentary (which is an incredibly fun hatewatch) that reflected well on Brady lol

I seriously do not drink enough to cope with the sheer idiocy of this policy.

In 1966 the high altar of the Oxford Oratory, the church where Tolkien went to Mass, was chopped up and moved forward
Sixty years later they are putting it back: A new high altar is being built in its original place from the architect’s surviving drawings, and the parish is raising £3.3 million to pay for it
Their slogan is four words: ‘We’re putting it all back’

Vague legislation has been a problem (and a bane of judges) for years, but it's genuinely gobsmacking that it's become so normalised that people think that it's *supposed* to be like that, especially for what is basically a new criminal offence

By this standard Joe Biden would be English
The English are a White European ethnic group. That is not a matter of opinion. It is a statement of fact.
The only thing you "have to be" in order to be English is descended from English ancestors.
The only reason to redefine that is to delegitimise the existence of the English as a distinct people.
And the only reason to do that is if you wanted to destroy us.

Was HarperCollins really more worried about allegations of “fatshaming” than it was about allegations of predatory sexual behaviour?

“There are no plans at present for the Government to mark the 1,100th anniversary of the unification of England.”
Great 👍

The Day of Mourning and Rage 2066 will conclude with a 'spontaneous' riot outside the French embassy
Cannot stop thinking about what a fête 2066 should be.
1000 years of England (just roll with it). We should be having a mass national festival! A millennia of our nation. I want Harold Godwineson statues, Anglo-Saxon culture, and every annal of English history on display!

I'm sure at some point people will try and insist that 'Bylines Networks' is some inoffensive local news thing which has nothing to do with 'Byline Times', so here in their own words is a glimpse into their work
A group closely linked to hard-left conspiracy theorists has been given more than a quarter of a million pounds of public money to promote "trusted, high-quality local journalism.".
Bylines Networks Ltd is the second largest recipient of money from the Government’s new Local News Fund, receiving a total of £266,221 to "fund the future of local news."
Bylines Networks Ltd is closely associated with Byline Times, whose recent output is a mixture of hard-left attack, Jason Arday trutherism and the frankly deranged.
Byline Times and Bylines Networks Ltd are controlled by the same people, Peter Jukes and Steve Colegrave, who are directors of both. Bylines Network describes itself as a “partner organisation to Byline Times” and says that the two organisations “work closely together.“

Brand had 9.5 million Twitter followers at the time. That’s precisely why Miliband cosied up to him.
