I always prefer the politics of partnership. And I fundamentally believe that we must harness the power of technology to build a stronger, fairer Britain. But we must also protect our children. I am not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children, and that is why this ban must happen. And that is why this ban will happen. I didn’t think it would actually happen. I kind of believed that he’d chicken out of it and give it more time or more consideration. But he seems pretty sure of it, and I’m not sure if I agree with him. I didn’t — I thought he’d give it more time to think about it and the effects it would have. But I know in the future it will have a positive impact on young people’s lives and their mental health.
