  1. Thought for the day: if there is a UK under-16 social media ban, the party which most appeals to 16-year-olds “out of the starting gate” will win the next election

    There will be a voter demographic who will suddenly have to make a first time choice re: who to vote for, having also immersed themselves for the first time in social media over the previous 11 months.

    The party that dominates TikTok will win their votes.

    Currently, that’s ReformUK.

    The status quo can’t continue, and without real change the pressure for an under?16 social media ban will only increase.
