Sir Keir Starmer Calls Minister for Men 'Not the Solution' to Issues with Boys Highlighted in Netflix Drama Adolescence

Sir Keir Starmer criticized the proposal for a 'minister for men,' asserting that it is not the solution to the challenges facing boys and young men. Meanwhile, the Australian Senate has enacted legislation to hold social media companies accountable for underage users, specifically targeting platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. The Prime Minister recognized the serious issues of toxic masculinity and the impact of social media on adolescents, as Australia introduces fines for age-inappropriate social media accounts. Jack Thorne, the co-creator of Adolescence, expressed his hope that the series will inspire meaningful changes in government policy related to youth and online culture.
