🚨Starmer announces Labour will pursue draconian measures to clamp down on internet usage - including a VPN ban - via his Substack: "We will be going to Parliament for new government powers, enabling us to act on the findings of the social media consultation where the evidence suggests we need to. This could include: -Setting a minimum age limit for social media: unlike the Tories, who took years to pass the Online Safety Act, we will take powers that would allow us to implement a minimum age for social media in a matter of months to prevent kids from accessing harmful social media. -Restricting specific functionalities: that are detrimental to kids’ wellbeing and keep them hooked to their screens like endless scroll or autoplay -Limiting VPN access for kids: to make it harder for kids to get around age limits of services or certain functionalities."

In this scene from Clarksons Farm, @JeremyClarkson discusses a point I've made many times concerning the loneliness and isolation brought about by the corporatisation and homogenisation of rural areas and, importantly, the death of the pubs that bring people together. This year, I hope to visit Clarksons Farm and Pub in the beautiful cotswolds in order to pay my respects. @Britains___Pubs @PubHistoryTours
