Is it smart to ban phones for teens‪?‬ Coffee House Shots

    • News

Sunak's top team is considering another ban: smartphones for teens. A consultation is due to begin this month that will question whether children need a smartphone, and if social media should require age verification. Could the debate bring the party together? 

Also, there's another suspension in Westminster. Mark Menzies has been suspended after claims he made a late night call to ask for money to pay off 'bad people'. He strongly disputes the claims. 

Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and James Heale.
