'GET A GRIP!' - Kemi Badenoch blasts Starmer's 'SLOW' child online safety plan

Kemi Badenoch has said the Prime Minister needs to get children off social media rather than taking “piecemeal” action, after he told tech firms they must stop children sending and receiving explicit images on their devices or face a change to the law. The Conservative Party leader said: “I think the move today is an idea without a proper plan behind it. “I don’t want to see children being able to send nudes, but I don’t know exactly how the government is looking at this. “A much simpler way of dealing with these things is getting children off social media rather than piecemeal measures that are tackling the problems issue by issue. “We’ve got to go much further than that.” Asked whether she would back a ban on social media that goes up to the age of 18, she said: “I think that 16 is an appropriate age for children to start using social media.” Read Daily Express: https://www.express.co.uk Like Daily Express on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DailyExpress Follow Daily Express on X: https://x.com/Daily_Express Follow Daily Express on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dailyexpress/ #DailyExpress #News #keirstarmer #kemibadenoch #labour #tories #conservatives #childsafety #socialmedia #socialmediaban #ukpolitics
