Starmer: Banning phones in schools is unnecessary

Sir Keir Starmer says banning phones in schools is "not necessary" and instead there is an "emerging battle" to ensure that the content children are consuming online is "suitable for their age".

His comments come as the Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch tells the prime minister at PMQs, "teachers and headteachers say the evidence already shows that schools that ban phones get better results".

Poilievre LOSES Carleton Seat, Liberal Fanjoy Wins With 50% Votes | Time For A Leadership Change?

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, has lost his seat in Carleton to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy, marking the end of his personal political career that began in 2004. Despite the Conservatives' strong performance nationally and their gain of 20 new seats, Poilievre's loss in Carleton is a major blow. Poilievre acknowledged the party's significant progress, including its highest vote share since 1988, while promising to stay on as leader. The race was close, with a record turnout for advance polling in Carleton. #PierrePoilievre #BruceFanjoy #Carleton #CanadianPolitics #ConservativeParty #LiberalParty #ElectionResults #PoliticalCareer #PoilievreLoss #ConservativeSetback #Election2025 #PartyLeader #PoliticalRace #OttawaPolitics #ElectionNight #CanadaVotes #CarletonRiding #PoliticalBlow #RecordTurnout #Polls #CanadianElection #PoliticalSetback #PoilievreVsFanjoy #ConservativeGain #OttawaElection #LiberalVictory #VoteShare #CanadianLeaders #PoliticalDrama #ConservativeLeader #ElectionDebate #CanadaVotes2025 #PoliticalShift ~GR.125~HT.408~
