Adolescence was hard to watch as a dad, Starmer tells makers at No 10

The co-writer and producer of hit Netflix drama Adolescence have met the prime minister in Downing Street to discuss how to stop young people from being influenced by toxic material online.
Sir Keir Starmer said the drama, about a 13-year-old boy accused of murder, was “a torch that shines intensely brightly on a combination of issues that many people don’t know how to respond to”.
But he warned there was not a “silver bullet response” or “some policy lever that can be pulled”.
The meeting came as Netflix said it would make the series available to screen for free in schools, a move Sir Keir welcomed as “an important initiative to encourage as many pupils as possible to watch the show”.
The programme has sparked a national conversation about the impact of social media and “manosphere” influencers.
