Keir Starmer:
Social media is making children unhappy. It's making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them.
It could even be harming their mental health, exposing them to content that is dangerous because that's what grabs the attention. It's designed to be addictive.
It stops children doing their homework, reading, playing with their friends outside, going to bed at a decent hour.
I think back to my own childhood. The early 1970s weren't always a picnic. But we didn't have to deal with anything like this.
A technology that intrudes into every corner of a life, almost impossible to escape, that records every mistake — to deal with that as a teenager on top of everything else. That's hard.
All I've ever wanted for my own children, hand on heart, is for them to be happy and for them to be safe.

Rare great news about the government finally banning phones in schools. Enraging champagne and hand clapping emojis all round. Next step - get rid of screen based learning. It’s crap, it’s stealing the children’s data and it deepens their screen addiction. Here below is me ranting with the great Prof Jonathan Haidt and Sophie Winkleman on this.
Hugh Grant and Jonathan Haidt share parents' concerns - BigTech is ruthlessly addicting our children to screens. For the full interview with @HackedOffHugh, Sophie Winkleman and @JonHaidt visit -

"Some 43pc of children across #Scotland qualified for special educational and disability support in 2025, up from just 4.8pc in 2005."
In Glasgow, it's more than half (56.3%).

“There is no greater threat to the health of children and young adults than the silent mental health pandemic that has spiralled out of control,” says President @DrLadeSmith as she calls for better access to care & treatment.
There were 1.2 million children and young people in contact with mental health services in England in 2024/25, an 118% rise on the 0.5 million since 2016/17.

Shocking new MRI study on 3–5 year olds: Just 2 hours of interactive screen time per day is linked to measurable loss of white matter in the brain.
Professor Mike Nagel (University of the Sunshine Coast):
“White matter is myelin — it insulates axons like plastic on a wire. Deficits in myelin early in life mean deficits in neural connectivity.”
The more screen time, the greater the white matter loss — especially in areas tied to language development and literacy.
Nagel’s first reaction (as a researcher and father):
“Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that. It hadn’t occurred to me that something as little as two hours a day was having such a profound effect.”
Parents: Has this changed how you think about screen time limits for young kids — or do you think the risks are overstated?

I don’t normally use social media to share personal family matters, but today is an exception — and I hope you’ll take a moment to read this, as it’s incredibly important to me.
Today is PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day— a condition my daughter has been suffering from for the past three years. It’s a condition that has turned our family’s life upside down and has been stealing my daughter’s childhood.
While PANS/PANDAS is treatable, it is often misdiagnosed. In the UK, it’s still not officially recognised, which means accessing the right treatment is almost impossible.
My daughter, Anna (13), wanted to do something special for Awareness Day to help others understand what living with PANS/PANDAS feels like. She wrote a poem — entirely in her own words — that is honest, brave, and deeply moving. It breaks my heart, but I’m also incredibly proud of her strength and courage in sharing it.
Thank you for taking the time to read and help raise awareness. 💛

"In 1957, 92 percent of American children were potty-trained by 18 months of age. Four decades later, that number had dropped to just 4 percent." Why are we potty-training our children so much later than our grandparents did? The answer is the plastic industry.

This is a really eye-opening piece with lots of practical suggestions, please have a read.
I'm "quite" sustainable already but I'm pledging here and now to adopt one of Lucinda's ideas each week for the next six weeks.
To start, using "proper" soap instead of dispensers >>>
🍃How to live with fewer microplastics🍃
If you’ve ever felt disheartened by the sheer amount of plastic in our lives, you’re not alone.
Even the most well-intentioned among us, who choose paper straws and refillable water bottles, are finding it increasingly difficult to dodge the microplastic tide.
From clingfilm-wrapped organic cucumbers to tea bags laced with microplastics, it’s clear that plastic has woven its way into every corner of our food chain and daily routines.
Here at NatureDoc, I’ve long championed the idea that small, mindful changes can cumulatively have a big effect – not just for our planet, but for our health too.
In this week’s blog, I share some of my favourite practical swaps and tips to help you reduce your plastic exposure in the areas that matter most. Because when we take care of our environment, we’re also taking care of ourselves and our families.
