Reform UK urged to sack housing spokesperson over ‘disgraceful’ Grenfell Tower comment – UK politics live

Labour says it is ‘untenable’ for Simon Dudley to continue in his role after he said that Grenfell was tragic ‘but everyone dies in the end’ Good morning.

Why is Labour so unpopular? Just look at the dithering over kids’ screen time | Zoe Williams

Keir Starmer is running out of patience with the social media platforms, after Meta and Google’s landmark legal defeat in Los Angeles. But this ‘strongest intervention yet’ comes years too late I’m past the stage in my parenting journey where I could have any influence over my kids’ screen time. They would be much more likely to invade my privacy, grab my phone, perform some search in settings that I don’t understand, wonder out loud how it’s possible for WhatsApp to take up that many hours in a
